Social behaviour has a key role in animal survival across species, ranging from insects to
primates and humans. However, the biological mechanisms driving natural interactions …

Nasal airflow is greater in one nostril than in the other because of transient asymmetric nasal
passage obstruction by erectile tissue. The extent of obstruction alternates across nostrils …

Internal action models (IAMs) are brain templates for sensory-motor coordination underlying
diverse behaviors [1]. An emerging theory suggests that impaired IAMs are a common …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays an important role in regulating social functions in mammals,
and its dysfunction has been linked to social deficits in neurodevelopmental disorders. Yet …

Rapid diagnosis is key to curtailing the Covid-19 pandemic. One path to such rapid diagnosis
may rely on identifying volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by the infected body, or …

Paradoxically, improvements in emergency medicine have increased survival albeit with
severe disability ranging from quadriplegia to “locked-in syndrome.” Locked-in syndrome is …

In terrestrial mammals, body volatiles can effectively trigger or block conspecific aggression.
Here, we tested whether hexadecanal (HEX), a human body volatile implicated as a …

Rules linking patterns of olfactory receptor neuron activation in the nose to activity patterns
in the brain and ensuing odor perception remain poorly understood. Artificially stimulating …

Electroholographic switching with a rise time of 13 ns is henceforth presented. The switching
was demonstrated in a potassium lithium tantalate crystal doped with copper and titanium …

Improved easy-to-use diagnostic tools for infections are in strong demand worldwide. Yet,
despite dramatic advances in diagnostic technologies, the gold-standard remains culturing. …
