    Description: In their investigation into whether female mate-choice drives male dispersal, Honer et al. argue that female spotted hyaenas (Crocuta crocuta) prefer mates whose tenure in the social group is less than the females' age, to avoid paternal incest, and suggest that male dispersal reflects this preference. However, we are not persuaded that females choose mates on the basis of tenure because Honer et al. overlook the alternative hypothesis that dispersal status itself is important in female mate-choice, such that females prefer immigrants over natal males. Like mate-choice based on tenure, choice based on dispersal status reduces the risk of incest.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Van Horn, Russell C -- Watts, Heather E -- Holekamp, Kay E -- England -- Nature. 2008 Jul 10;454(7201):E1; discussion E2. doi: 10.1038/nature07122.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Zoological Society of San Diego, Conservation and Research for Endangered Species, P.O.

    Description: Despite evidence pointing to a ubiquitous tendency of human minds to wander, little is known about the neural operations that support this core component of human cognition. Using both thought sampling and brain imaging, the current investigation demonstrated that mind-wandering is associated with activity in a default network of cortical regions that are active when the brain is "at rest." In addition, individuals' reports of the tendency of their minds to wander were correlated with activity in this network.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1821121/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1821121/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mason, Malia F -- Norton, Michael I -- Van Horn, John D -- Wegner, Daniel M -- Grafton, Scott T -- Macrae, C Neil -- MH49127/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS033504/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS050614/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Jan 19;315(5810):393-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755, USA. malia@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17234951" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) present a barrier to axon regeneration. However, no specific receptor for the inhibitory effect of CSPGs has been identified. We showed that a transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase, PTPsigma, binds with high affinity to neural CSPGs. Binding involves the chondroitin sulfate chains and a specific site on the first immunoglobulin-like domain of PTPsigma. In culture, PTPsigma(-/-) neurons show reduced inhibition by CSPG. A PTPsigma fusion protein probe can detect cognate ligands that are up-regulated specifically at neural lesion sites. After spinal cord injury, PTPsigma gene disruption enhanced the ability of axons to penetrate regions containing CSPG. These results indicate that PTPsigma can act as a receptor for CSPGs and may provide new therapeutic approaches to neural regeneration.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2811318/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2811318/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shen, Yingjie -- Tenney, Alan P -- Busch, Sarah A -- Horn, Kevin P -- Cuascut, Fernando X -- Liu, Kai -- He, Zhigang -- Silver, Jerry -- Flanagan, John G -- R01 EY011559/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS025713/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R37 HD029417/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R37 NS025713/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R37 NS025713-22/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Oct 23;326(5952):592-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1178310.
