In this chapter, James J. Gibson recounts his life in psychology. Beginning with his early
childhood in southeastern Ohio, undergraduate education at Northwestern, and graduate study …

This book, first published in 1979, is about how we see: the environment around us (its surfaces,
their layout, and their colors and textures); where we are in the environment; whether or …

In making life easier for himself, of course, he has made life harder for most of the other
animals. Over the millennia, he has made it easier for himself to get food, easier to keep warm, …

Objective: The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is the most widely used
screening tool for postpartum depression (PPD). We systematically reviewed the published …

The current magnetic confinement nuclear fusion power reactor concepts going beyond ITER
are based on assumptions about the availability of materials with extreme mechanical, heat…

Since 2005, advances in next‐generation sequencing technologies have revolutionized
biological science. The analysis of environmental DNA through the use of specific gene markers …

Inhibitory interneurons are critical to sensory transformations, plasticity and synchronous
activity in the neocortex 1 , 2 . There are many types of inhibitory neurons, but their synaptic …

Cortical synapses exhibit several forms of short-term plasticity, but the contribution of this
plasticity to visual response dynamics is unknown. In part, this is because the simple patterns of …

Neuroligins enhance synapse formation in vitro, but surprisingly are not required for the
generation of synapses in vivo. We now show that in cultured neurons, neuroligin-1 …

Normal operations of the neocortex depend critically on several types of inhibitory interneurons,
but the specific function of each type is unknown. One possibility is that interneurons are …
