Dendritic spines compartmentalize calcium, and this could be their main function. We review experimental work on spine calcium dynamics. Calcium influx into spines is mediated by calcium channels and ...

For architects, "form to function" means designing a building that best serves its intended purpose. For genomics researchers, the term could be applied to the ongoing transition from not just ...

Evolutionary ecologists aim to explain and predict evolutionary change under different selective regimes. Theory suggests that such evolutionary prediction should be more difficult for biomechanical ...
