By combining genomic, molecular and neuroanatomical evidence, these new results support sensory shifts and not just trade-offs during primate evolution.

MANY bitter-tasting substances produced by plants are known, but no conclusive relationship between bitterness and chemical structure has been proposed. Shallenberger and Acree1 recently related a ...

All of these effects depend on the puzzle-like system that is molecular biology. The structure of a neurotransmitter such as dopamine determines which part of the cells it can fit into and what effect ...
