These are normal mammalian cells genetically engineered with a bioluminescent gene taken out of deep-sea jellyfish.
Terrible news for the dinosaurs, but great news for our mammalian ancestors, who flourished in the niches left empty by the dinosaurs.
I don't have time to explain, but to understand how a brain works, you have to understand how the first part of the mammalian neocortex works, how it is we store patterns and make predictions.
A mammalian fetus, if it loses a limb during the first trimester of pregnancy, will re-grow that limb.
But then one day I started thinking about the mammalian penis.
After all, if ideas about invertebrate skeletons can give us insights about mammalian reproductive systems, there could be lots of other wild and productive connections lurking out there just waiting to be found.
Though it was based on very little evidence, many scientists thought that all mammalian brains, including the human brain, were made in the same way, with a number of neurons that was always proportional to the size of the brain.
Now interestingly, there are a few mammalian species in which females have evolved specialized genitalia that doesn't allow for sexual coercion to take place.
But then, in the 1990s, studies starting showing, following the lead of Elizabeth Gould at Princeton and others, studies started showing the evidence of neurogenesis, the birth of new brain cells in the adult mammalian brain, first in the olfactory bulb, which is responsible for our sense of smell, then in the hippocampus involving short-term memory, and finally in the amygdala itself.
The human race has been around for about 200,000 years, and if she lives as long as a typical mammalian species, she would last for about two million years.
And what's more, the human race isn't a typical mammalian species.
The implication is that microbes can affect mammalian behavior.
And this is only mapping 10 percent of a mammalian neocortex.
Their explanation for this involves the uniquely mammalian activity of nursing.
Nor do monotremes, the third and arguably strangest example of mammalian birth.
So then we come along, we implant some mammalian cells that you can see in blue.
Their ancestors appeared around the same time as the first small mammals, and they were probably able to survive because they were evolving— and growing—at the same time as their mammalian predators.
We are one species of about five and a half thousand mammalian species that exist on planet Earth today.
They took up one quarter of the mammalian biomass.
They're even better models of environmental health, because not only the same mammalian biology, but they share your diet, largely.
Evidence is gradually accumulating that the majority of mammalian research animals, particularly rodents, are mentally stressed by their living conditions.
Natural selection has provided scientific explanations of traits as diverse as the mammalian eye, the bird’s wing, and the ability of plants to transform light into sugars.
Insects have a central ganglion that, like a mammalian midbrain, is involved in processing sensory information, selecting targets, and directing action.
Interestingly, in cultured mouse or human cells, the mammalian SIR2 gene determines a cell's response to DNA damage.
The mammalian SIR2 gene modulates this process, and higher levels of it dampen the cell death response.
Just like in yeast and worms, mammalian SIR2 promotes survival, in this case of cultured cells.
Does this mean that mammalian aging is at least partly caused by the gradual loss of cells and the accompanying failure of organs?
So, while complete reconstructions of a small region of the mammalian brain are feasible, structures like the cerebral cortex – with a surface area of 0.22 square meters and a thickness of between 1.5-4.5 millimeters – cannot be fully reconstructed.
Thus, although a true synaptome of the mammalian brain is a chimerical quest, it is possible that in the near future we will be able to construct a “silicon cortex,” a computerized machine based on a realistic model of the complete anatomical, physiological, and molecular design of the cortical circuit.
In neuroeconomics experiments that my lab has conducted, we have found that when a stranger places trust in another by making a considered monetary investment that can either be returned or stolen, our brains release an ancient mammalian hormone called oxytocin.
