Nested sampling (NS) has emerged as a powerful tool for exploring thermodynamic properties in materials science. However, its efficiency is often hindered by the limitations of Markov chain Monte ...

Although a common occurrence experimentally, in many instances, a detailed picture of crystal nucleation remains unresolved. Computer simulations are helpful for gaining molecular insights regarding ...

Face neurons, which fire more strongly in response to images of faces than to other objects, are a paradigmatic example of object selectivity in the visual cortex. We asked whether such neurons ...

A healthy adult rat Sprague-Dawley (Harlan Netherlands B.V.) was intracardially perfused with 0.9% saline followed by 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA). The brain was carefully extracted from the skull and ...

Reaching a global view of brain organization requires assembling evidence on widely different mental processes and mechanisms. The variety of human neuroscience concepts and terminology poses a ...

The study of plant development requires increasingly powerful modeling tools to help understand and simulate the growth and functioning of plants. In the last decade, the formalism of L-systems has ...
