Biphasic activation of the mTOR pathway in the gustatory cortex is correlated with and necessary for taste learning.

8 Jun 2009 Different forms of memories and synaptic plasticity require synthesis of new proteins at the time of acquisition or immediately after. We are interested in the role of translation regulation in the cortex, the brain structure assumed to store ... Read more...

Social transmission of a host defense against cuckoo parasitism.

3 Jun 2009 Coevolutionary arms races between brood parasites and hosts involve genetic adaptations and counter-adaptations. However, hosts sometimes acquire defenses too rapidly to reflect genetic change. Our field experiments show that observation of cuckoo ... Read more...

Enhancement of planning ability by transcranial direct current stimulation.

Jun 2009 The functional neuroanatomy of executive function critically involves the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been established as a noninvasive tool for transient modulation of cortical function. Here, ... Read more...
