“…during natural behavior, animals are faced with a dynamic and continuously changing environment; and in such conditions, gradual accumulation of evidence is too

“… identify molecular mechanisms underlying the choice of alcohol over a natural reward…We then used gene expression profiling to identify a molecular mechanism that mediates compulsive alcohol drinking at the expense of other high-value options.

the genomes of the common ancestral lineage for African great apes likely underwent an expansion of segmental duplication more than 10 million years ago. These repeats of sections of the genetic code may have made great ape genomes particularly prone to deletion and duplication events, thereby accelerating the rate of mutations with major consequences that […]
