Auditory discrimination by the cat after neonatal ablation of temporal cortex.

Abstract: Some auditory discriminations cannot be acquired by the cat after large bilateral ablations of auditory cortex at maturity. However, if such ablations are sustained during infancy, these discriminations are readily learned. The function of the cortex in auditory discrimination depends on the age of the nervous system at the time of injury.

Nickel in F430

Abstract: The terminal step in methane generation by several methanogenic organisms, of which the best studied is the archaeon Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, is catalyzed by the enzyme S-methyl coenzyme M reductase (methylreductase, EC 1.8.-.-). This enzyme contains a macrocyclic tetrapyrrole-derived cofactor, F430, at the active site coordinating Ni(II) in the resting state. A Ni(I) state (Ni1F430) has been proposed as the active form of the cofactor. Extensive mechanistic and spectroscopic studies have been performed on the holoenzyme, isolated cofactor, and various synthetic model compounds. These studies are summarized in the present review.

Perceptions of Mothers and Fathers Who Take Temporary Work Leave

Abstract: The current research investigates perceptions of parents who take temporary leave before returning to work after the birth of a child. This research adds to the current literature by experimentally assessing participants’ views of fathers who take leave in addition to mothers who take leave. We used an undergraduate sample (N = 167) from a small regional university in the Midwestern United States to assess participants’ reactions to scenarios involving a mother or a father who went back to work immediately, took a 12-week leave, or stayed at home with the child indefinitely. The results showed that parents who took leave were rated more positively than stay-at-home parents and working parents. Parents who took leave were also rated as more competent than stay-at-home parents and more warm than working parents. Further, parents who took leave were expected to be less successful in their careers than working parents but more successful than parents who stayed at home. Participants had a more favorable overall impression of parents who took leave when that parent was of the same gender as themselves. Additionally, female participants were more favorable about mothers and fathers breaking traditional gender roles than were male participants. This research supports the idea that traditional views of mothers and fathers may be changing. Implications for work and government policies that are supportive of mothers and fathers taking family leave are discussed.
