What is the 'spectral diet' of humans?

Marilyne Andersen, Forrest Simon Webler, Manuel Spitschan

Our visual perception of the world - seeing form and colour or navigating the environment - depends on the interaction of light and matter in the environment. Light also has a more fundamental role in regulating rhythms in physiology and behaviour, as well ...

Discovery and Further Studies on Giant Viruses at the IHU Mediterranee Infection That Modified the Perception of the Virosphere

Meriem Bekliz

The history of giant viruses began in 2003 with the identification of Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus. Since then, giant viruses of amoeba enlightened an unknown part of the viral world, and every discovery and characterization of a new giant virus modifi ...

One-shot learning and eligibility traces in sequential decision making

Marco Philipp Lehmann

When humans or animals perform an action that led to a desired outcome, they show a tendency to repeat it. The mechanisms underlying learning from past experience and adapting future behavior are still not fully understood. In this thesis, I study how huma ...

Aesthetic Space : The Visible and the Invisible in Urban Agency

Mirza Tursic

Recent 'turns' in social sciences, namely the visual, qualitative, actorial or spatial turns, all indicate a rising interest in individuals. Since the aesthetic dimension always nourishes and informs individualsâ spatialities and their decision-making pr ...

A model for brain life history evolution

Timm Faulwasser, Laurent Lehmann

Complex cognition and relatively large brains are distributed across various taxa, and many primarily verbal hypotheses exist to explain such diversity. Yet, mathematical approaches formalizing verbal hypotheses would help deepen the understanding of brain ...

Spatial dependence of genetic data related to human health and livestock disease resistance: a role for geography to support the One Health approach

Stéphane Joost

The spatial dependence of located health and/or genetic data can be used to detect clusters likely to reveal disease prevalence or signatures of adaptation associated with characteristics of the local environment (high temperatures, air or water pollution) ...

Adult human perception of distress in the cries of bonobo, chimpanzee, and human infants

Understanding the extent to which humans perceive the emotional state of animals has both theoretical and practical implications. While recent studies indicate that natural selection has led to some convergence of emotion coding among vertebrate species (i ...

Stewart Cole, Andrej Benjak, Charlotte Avanzi, Philippe Busso, Jérémie Piton, Chloé Marie Loiseau

Leprosy, caused by infection with Mycobacterium leprae or the recently discovered Mycobacterium lepromatosis, was once endemic in humans in the British Isles. Red squirrels in Great Britain (Sciurus vulgaris) have increasingly been observed with leprosy-li ...

Transposable Elements and Their KRAB-ZFP Controllers Regulate Gene Expression in Adult Tissues

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Gabriela Ecco, Julien Léonard Duc, Marco Cassano, Annamaria Kauzlaric, Andrea Coluccio, Michaël Imbeault, Helen Mary Rowe

KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) are early embryonic controllers of transposable elements (TEs), which they repress with their cofactor KAP1 through histone and DNA methylation, a process thought to result in irreversible silencing. Using a ...

Large Volume Imaging of Rodent Brain Anatomy with Emphasis on Selective Plane Illumination Microscopy

Jean Pierre Ghobril

Inside the human brain there are 86 Billion neurons exchanging electrical impulses to allow reaction, homoeostasis and intelligence. Their coarse organization has been described, leaving us with a fair understanding of macrocircuitry. The microcircuitry of ...
