Two codes of RNA editing by deamination in human diseases - Experimental & Molecular Medicine RNA editing is a process that changes the genetic information in RNA molecules after they are made from DNA. The study explores two main types of RNA editing: adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) and cytidin...

Here’s awesome bit of technical work by PhD student Josh Davies in Paul Marshall’s lab at ANU. Proud to part of it. Sex differences run deep when you look at the brain with high resolution.

Why emotion research is stuckβ€”and how to move it forward Studying how organisms infer indirect threats and understand changing contexts can establish a common framework that bridges species and levels of analysis.

My perspective in @thetransmitter.bsky.social on why emotion research feels stuck and how we might move forwardβ€”by focusing on how the brain uses internal brain models to shape emotional processing across species. www.thetransmitter.org/emotion/why-...
