Thermoregulation has substantial implications for human health. Traditional central space
heating and cooling systems are less efficient due to wasted energy spent on the entire …

This review focuses on neuropeptides and peptide hormones, the largest and most diverse
class of neuroactive substances, known in Drosophila and other animals to play roles in …

Thermoregulation is one of the most vital functions of the brain, but how temperature
information is converted into homeostatic responses remains unknown. Here, we use an …

Owing to global temperature increases and frequent extreme weather events, outdoor
personal comfort is becoming more critical to human health and sustainable development …

Hormones regulate development, as well as many vital processes in the daily life of an
animal. Many of these hormones are peptides that act at a higher hierarchical level in the …

The core N− H units of planar porphyrins are often inaccessible to forming hydrogen‐
bonding complexes with acceptor molecules. This is due to the fact that the amine moieties …

The manual muscle test (MMT) is a flexible diagnostic tool, which is used in many
disciplines, applied in several ways. The main problem is the subjectivity of the test. The …

Much progress has been made recently in understanding how olfactory coding works in
insect brains. Here, I propose a wiring diagram for the major steps from the first processing …

Magnetic compass orientation in night-migratory songbirds is embedded in the visual
system and seems to be based on a light-dependent radical pair mechanism. Recent …

The limitations of central nervous system (CNS) drug delivery conferred by the blood-brain
barrier (BBB) have been a significant obstacle in the development of large molecule …
