"THE SPLIT STRUCTURE of eukaryotic genes impacts gene expression and evolution in diverse ways. Most directly, the presence of introns enables multiple distinct mRNA and protein products to be produced from the same gene locus through alternative splicing, which is often regulated between tissues or developmental stages." http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.1001229 View in LinkedIn

SEEING IN THE DARK. “Rats learn to sense infrared in hours thanks to brain implants. Rat brains quickly adapted to use data from four infrared sensors, allowing them to "see" in the dark and paving the way for augmenting the human brain." (Miguel Nicolelis of Duke University School of Medicine). https://lnkd.in/d45-hdu View in LinkedIn

TELEPATHY. “The distant “decoder rat” was taught by the neural traffic generated by the initial activity of the “encoder rat” and relayed by the direct brain-to-brain coupling afforded in this novel “artificial communication channel”. This shows that rats linked through brain-to-brain electrode arrays could learn complex, cooperative, goal-directed behaviors.” https://lnkd.in/eB--UFz View in LinkedIn
