What categorial ambiguity doesn't tell us about crossed control: Commentary on Jeoung 2020

What do fast response times tell us about attentional control?

The mental experience of attention capture has attracted a great deal of intrigue among researchers seeking to explain the interactions between stimulus-driven and goal-driven attentional control. In recent years, researchers have increasingly begun to analyze cumulative response time (RT) distributions to test modern accounts of the capture phenomenon, particularly accounts claiming that there...

Commentary on Cristofaro - What Do Semantic Maps Tell Us?

What boundaries tell us about binding.

Early in the process of perception the visual system decomposes the visual scene into features that are processed in parallel by identifiable subsystems. At some point in the process of scene recognition, these features must be recombined to allow the perception of objects. This recombination is called 'feature integration'. Over the past twenty years, cognitive scientists have devoted much ene...

What can proteomics tell us about platelets?

More than 130 years ago, it was recognized that platelets are key mediators of hemostasis. Nowadays, it is established that platelets participate in additional physiological processes and contribute to the genesis and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Recent data indicate that the platelet proteome, defined as the complete set of expressed proteins, comprises >5000 proteins and is highly ...

What vibrations tell us about GTPases.

In this review, we discuss how time-resolved Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is used to understand how GTP hydrolysis is catalyzed by small GTPases and their cognate GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). By interaction with small GTPases, GAPs regulate important signal transduction pathways and transport mechanisms in cells. The GTPase reaction terminates signaling and controls tran...
