Now that Montell and his colleagues have a mutant fly that is unable to taste caffeine, they hope to further examine the other genes and molecules involved in the caffeine response and better understand the biochemistry beh...

Reading Shakespeare has dramatic effect on human brain

... way to putting a jigsaw puzzle together. If it is easy to see which pieces slot together you become bored of the game, but if the pieces don't appear to fit, when we know they should, the brain becomes excited.

A simple feedback resistor switch keeps latent HIV from awakening

...this requirement may avoid making the off state so easy to reach that the virus remains dormant all the time. This model also helps explain why some HIV patients experience short "blips" of viral activity, despite relatively low viral concentration. According to the authors, these pulses of viral activati...
