Although a growing body of evidence indicates that environmental enrichment (EE) facilitates normal development and behaviour in laboratory mice, few studies were conducted to demonstrate its impact ...

Rebecca Calisi, assistant professor in the Department of Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior, is working with pigeons (also known as rock doves) to study physiological differences between males and ...

As scientists gain a better understanding of the mysteries of human physiology, the protein called myostatin (MSTN) has repeatedly been shown to play a central role in human reproduction. A new ...

Successful pregnancy requires coordinated physiological processes, with m⁶A participating in critical stages: i) Folliculogenesis: m⁶A dynamically regulates oocyte-granulosa cell crosstalk during ...

Scientists developed a new OCT imaging approach that can directly image the coordination of motile cilia in their natural environment. Research team members Deirdre Scully and Tian Xia are pictured ...

The exquisite hormonal signaling that drives the female reproductive system cannot be modeled in a flat petri dish. Scrambling to address history's long dearth of research in women's health and ...

Shark scientists at Georgia Aquarium, Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, and Dalhousie University are challenging the status quo in shark and ray mating research in a new study that ...

“Perhaps more than any other class of organisms on Earth, female mammals possess extraordinary control over their reproduction,” begins the introduction to Mammalian Reproduction: A Female Perspective ...

Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have discovered a vast network of neurons in the brain of mice that governs reproduction and controls the effects of reproductive status on other brain ...
