TL;DR: The predicted amino acid sequence of chicken prepro-orexin cDNA revealed that orexin-A and -B are highly conserved among vertebrate species.

••
TL;DR: Social characteristics and different levels of organization (group, relationship or individual levels), in particular, should be considered when studying social influences on behavioural rhythms, and knowledge of a species' behaviour and life history may significantly improve chronobiological research.

TL;DR: Attentional focusing on preferred partners appears the most likely explanation for differences found in song acquisition in relation to experience, sex, and song categories.
Abstract: Social influence on song acquisition was studied in 3 groups of young European starlings raised under different social conditions but with the same auditory experience of adult song. Attentional focusing on preferred partners appears the most likely explanation for differences found in song acquisition in relation to experience, sex, and song categories. Thus, pair-isolated birds learned from each other and not from broadcast live songs, females did not learn from the adult male tutors, and sharing occurred more between socially associated peers. On the contrary, single-isolated birds clearly copied the adult songs that may have been the only source of attention stimulation. Therefore, social preference appears as both a motor for song learning and a potential obstacle for acquisition from nonpreferred partners, including adults.

••
TL;DR: It is revealed that mild stressors applied to laying Japanese quail can increase the emotional reactivity of their chicks and suggested that maternal stress effects on offspring are mediated by changes in egg composition and yolk testosterone levels.

••
TL;DR: The results show that a relatively minor difference in behavioral habituation may have substantial effects on eggs and offspring, and the influence of environmental stimuli on yolk immunoreactive progesterone levels is described for the first time.

TL;DR: Intravenously injected doxorubicin-loaded polysorbate 80-coated nanoparticles were able to lead to a 40% cure in rats with intracranially transplanted glioblastomas 101/8, and may be especially helpful for the treatment of the disseminated and very aggressive brain tumors.

TL;DR: Various procedures used in the analysis of circadian rhythms at the populational, organismal, cellular and molecular levels are reviewed.
Abstract: This article reviews various procedures used in the analysis of circadian rhythms at the populational, organismal, cellular and molecular levels. The procedures range from visual inspection of time plots and actograms to several mathematical methods of time series analysis. Computational steps are described in some detail, and additional bibliographic resources and computer programs are listed.

TL;DR: There is little in vivo or in vitro evidence to suggest that a generalized toxic effect on the BBB is the primary mechanism for drug delivery to the brain, and the fact that dalargin has to be preadsorbed onto nanoparticles before it is effective in inducing antinociception suggests specific mechanisms of Delivery to the CNS.
Abstract: Purpose. It has recently been suggested that the poly(butylcyanoacrylate) (PBCA) nanoparticle drug delivery system has a generalized toxic effect on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) (8) and that this effect forms the basis of an apparent enhanced drug delivery to the brain. The purpose of this study is to explore more fully the mechanism by which PBCA nanoparticles can deliver drugs to the brain.

TL;DR: Nanoparticles enable the delivery of a great variety of drugs including anticancer drugs, analgesics, anti-Alzheimer's drugs, cardiovascular drugs, protease inhibitors, and several macromolecules into the brain after intravenous injection of animals and holds great promise for a non-invasive therapy of these diseases.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the brain concentration of intravenously injected rivastigmine can be enhanced over 3.82 fold by binding to poly(n-butylcyanoacrylate) nanoparticles coated with 1% nonionic surfactant polysorbate 80.
