A melding of the minds: when primatology meets personality and social psychology.

26 Apr 2009 Social and personality psychology and behavioral primatology both enjoy long histories of research aimed at uncovering the proximate and ultimate determinants of primate-human and nonhuman-social behavior. Although they share research themes, ... Read more...

Selective increase in representations of sounds repeated at an ethological rate.

20 Apr 2009 Exposure to sounds during early development causes enlarged cortical representations of those sounds, leading to the commonly held view that the size of stimulus representations increases with stimulus exposure. However, representing stimuli based ... Read more...

Delineation of violence from functional aggression in mice: an ethological approach.

21 Oct 2008 The present study aims at delineating violence from aggression, using genetically selected high (SAL, TA, NC900) and low (LAL, TNA NC100) aggressive mouse strains. Unlike aggression, violence lacks intrinsic control, environmental constraints as ... Read more...
