Once placed into cohabitation with a male, females that had never heard a mating song before could quickly develop a preference for his melody.</p> Wed, 21 Aug 2024 15:50:07 +0000 webfull 201499 at /channels /channels/channels/event/turning-failure-sucess-graduate-students-ipn-355689 <div><img src="https://se-images.campuslabs.ca/clink/images/c16cfb32-c0ef-4793-a5e3-f4a8b2b57453fbbc5c0b-a9c0-46c7-8031-7cd3ae28a2d5.png?preset=med-w" width="320" style="float:left; margin-right:15px; margin-bottom:15px" alt="Turning Failure into Suc</body></html>" /></div> Sat, 24 Feb 2024 08:25:56 +0000 webfull 198108 at /channels /channels/channels/news/using-laser-light-study-how-epilepsy-arises-healthy-brain-295750 <p>Scientists at ±«ÓćÖ±²„ have developed a new method to study how seizures arise in the healthy brain. Using laser light guided through ultra-thin optic fibers in the brain of rodents, the researchers ā€œturned onā€ light-sensitive proteins in selective brain cells and were able to eventually cause seizures through repeated laser stimulation. These findings were published March 27, 2019 in the journal Scientific Reports.</p> Wed, 27 Mar 2019 19:40:57 +0000 webfull 147713 at /channels
