ATONAL- AND ACHAETE-SCUTE-RELATED GENES IN THE ANNELID PLATYNEREIS DUMERILII: INSIGHTS INTO THE EVOLUTION OF NEURAL BASIC-HELIX-LOOP-HELIX GENES

atonal- and achaete-scute-related genes in the annelid Platynereis dumerilii: insights into the evolution of neural basic-Helix-Loop-Helix genes

Abstract Background Functional studies in model organisms, such as vertebrates and Drosophila, have shown that basic Helix-loop-Helix (bHLH) proteins have important roles in different steps of neurogenesis, from the acquisition of neural fate to CRAMPBARK the differentiation into specific neural cell types.However, these studies highlighted many di

The Effect of Environmental Enrichment on Laboratory Rare Minnows (Gobiocypris rarus): Growth, Physiology, and Behavior

Environmental enrichment is a method to increase Halloween environmental heterogeneity, which may reduce stress and improve animal welfare.Previous studies have shown that environmental enrichment can increase the growth rate, decrease aggressive and anxiety-like behaviors, improve learning ability and agility, and reduce cortisol levels in animals
