In Drosophila, the most widely used system for generating spatially restricted transgene
expression is based on the yeast GAL4 protein and its target upstream activating sequence (UAS…

Sleep is one of the few major whole-organ phenomena for which no function and no
underlying mechanism have been conclusively demonstrated. Sleep could result from global …

Selective genetic manipulation of neuronal function in vivo requires techniques for targeting
gene expression to specific cells. Existing systems accomplish this using the promoters of …

This paper seeks to test the assumption of the microeconomic theory of fertility that the economic
value of children is a factor influencing fertility behavior of parents in peasant societies. …

A system for converting an optical image into a tactile display has been evaluated to see what
promise it has as a visual substitution system. After surprisingly little training, Ss are able …

When deep-water surface gravity waves traverse an area with a curved or otherwise variable
current, the current can act analogously to an optical lens, to focus wave action into a …

Coupling of autonomous cellular oscillators is an essential aspect of circadian clock
function but little is known about its circuit requirements. Functional ablation of the pigment-…

… This book is dedicated to my father, Brian White, Wishing that he could have seen it
finished; and to my mother, Rita White, who Will. … The right of Benjamin Thomas White to …

Genetically encoded effectors are important tools for probing cellular function in living animals,
but improved methods for directing their expression to specific cell types are required. …

Drosophila vision is mediated by inputs from three types of photoreceptor neurons; R1–R6
mediate achromatic motion detection, while R7 and R8 constitute two chromatic channels. …
