Newest firstThe mechanisms regulating seasonal transitions between reproduction and feeding behavior are not well understood. Endocannabinoids modulate neuronal signaling in reproductive, metabolic and locomotive control centers and are widely distributed throughout the vertebrate nervous system, making them a strong candidate for facilitating seasonal transitions. Using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, we aske…
Open article record in new tab ↗Beaks of granivorous songbirds are adapted to dehusk seeds fast and efficiently. This is reflected in the large variety of beak shapes and sizes among species specialized in different seed types. Generally, larger beaks improve the dehusking of larger seeds by transmitting and withstanding higher bite forces. Meanwhile, smaller beaks are better suited for processing smaller seeds by allowing faster beak movements…
Open article record in new tab ↗Noxious stimuli can elicit stress in animals that produce a variety of adaptations including changes in responses to nociceptive and non-nociceptive sensory input. One example is stress-induced analgesia that may be mediated, in part, by the endocannabinoid system. However, endocannabinoids can also have pro-nociceptive effects. In this study, the effects of electroshock, one experimental approach for producing ac…
