Chinese groups. In contrast, thirty years ago, it was rare to see an article in any international English journal published by a Chinese group. This unprecedented explosion of research productivity and quality coming out of China can be attributed to a number of factors, including a burst in funding in plant science by the Chinese government, the hunger of Chinese scientists for research produc...
متن کاملAvian Sleep Homeostasis: Electrophysiological, Molecular and Evolutionary Approaches
The functions of sleep remain elusive. Here, we review our current understanding of the evolution and ontogeny of sleep and demonstrate how comparative sleep research has contributed to our greater understanding of why we sleep. For instance, the occurrence of SWS and REM sleep exclusively in mammals and birds may be related to the convergent evolution of heavily interconnected brains and ass...
متن کاملLocal sleep homeostasis in the avian brain: convergence of sleep function in mammals and birds?
The function of the brain activity that defines slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in mammals is unknown. During SWS, the level of electroencephalogram slow wave activity (SWA or 0.5-4.5 Hz power density) increases and decreases as a function of prior time spent awake and asleep, respectively. Such dynamics occur in response to waking brain use, as SWA increases locally in...

PSITTICOSIS Also known as parrot fever and ornithosis, psittacosis is caused by Chlamydophila psittaci, an obligate intracellular bacterial infection of birds that can cause severe pneumonia and other serious disease in humans (on average 250 reported cases per year in the US). Most cases resulted from exposure to infected pet birds, (cockatiels, parakeets, parrots, and macaws). Infected birds ...
