A team of biologists at the University of Padova, in Italy, has found that female zebrafish use their female reproductive fluid (FRF) to choose which sperm to use for fertilizing their eggs. In their study, published in the ...
Every thought, every feeling, every sensation—and every behavioral illness—ultimately depends on how our brains work. Despite decades of stunning advances in imaging the brain and measuring its activity, though, we still ...
