...ll bud off and become the specialized cell. "This asymmetry provides the new cell with molecules it needs to launch new genetic programs that tell it what to become," says Cayetano Gonz�lez, whose group began the project at EMBL and has continued the work as they moved to the IRBB-PCB.

...true for right-handers only, indicating that brain asymmetry is a factor in men. Spatial intelligence was also correlated with brain size in women, but less strongly. In men, spatial ability was not related to overall brain size. These results suggest that women may use verbal strategies in spatial thinking,...Forsyth scientists gain greater understanding of how embryos differentiate left from right

...in the past 50 years, whose components include the asymmetry between how losses and gains are valued," Fox said. Sabrina Tom, a UCLA research assistant in psychology and lead author of the study, said the people who have the most deactivation in the reward pathways were also the most loss-averse. A woman...... so far, only a "priority effect" ?the competitive asymmetry between last year's slow and this year's fast developing caterpillars ?can explain why more than 50% of caterpillars mature in their second season. Yet, according to the currently available data, the effect seems to be too weak to fully explain the l...Principles of Curve Fitting for Multiplex Sandwich Immunoassays, Rev B
