LOCI TESTING. "Pollinator selection for specific loci has been tested in various contexts. For example, red flowers are relatively poorly detected by insect pollinators that lack red receptors, whereas hummingbirds have such receptors and can thus detect and identify red flowers more easily. In cases in which flower color is controlled by a small number of loci, crossing experiments can directly assess pollinator responses to a specific allele." https://lnkd.in/dHD-ddW View in LinkedIn

FEW CONTROLLING GENES. "Floral traits are sometimes controlled by a relatively small number of genes. For example, in the common morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea), various aspects of pigmentation are controlled by single loci: one locus determines pink versus blue flowers, another controls intensity, a third controls the patterning and degree of pigmentation, and a fourth locus has epistatic effects on the other three loci." https://lnkd.in/dHD-ddW View in LinkedIn

FUNCTION OF MEMORY. “Memory is the glue that binds our mental lives. Without it, we’d be prisoners of the present, unable to use the lessons of the past to change our future.” https://lnkd.in/dU7QXHe View in LinkedIn

ELECTROMAGNETIC STIMULATION. “Multiple-session stimulation increased functional connectivity among distributed cortical-hippocampal network regions and concomitantly improved associative memory performance. These alterations involved localized long-term plasticity because increases were highly selective to the targeted brain regions, and enhancements of connectivity and associative memory persisted for ~24 hours after stimulation. Targeted cortical-hippocampal networks can thus be enhanced noninvasively, demonstrating their role in associative memory.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25170153 View in LinkedIn

NON-INVASIVE. “We therefore used targeted noninvasive electromagnetic stimulation to modulate human cortical-hippocampal networks and tested effects of this manipulation on memory.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25170153 View in LinkedIn

OPTOGENIC MEMORY MANIPULATION. “We found that in the DG, the neurons carrying the memory engram of a given neutral context have plasticity such that the valence of a conditioned response evoked by their reactivation can be reversed by re-associating this contextual memory engram with a new unconditioned stimulus of an opposite valence.” https://lnkd.in/d7i_gkP View in LinkedIn

MEMORY MANIPULATION. “Two new reports this week may be moving the study of memory into a brave new world, where we can not only monitor memory but manipulate it." (2014). https://lnkd.in/dFkUkGP View in LinkedIn
