It is unknown whether animals, like humans, can employ behavioural strategies to cope with impulsivity. To examine this question, we tested whether chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) would use self-distraction as a coping strategy in a situation in which they had to continually inhibit responses to accumulating candies in order to earn a greater amount of those rewards. We tested animals in three co...

Bacteria are present everywhere—all around and within us. Are you scared of them? Do not be, because most bacteria are actually good for us. Only a small number of them can occasionally cause infections, making us sick. Bacteria cause infections by dividing quickly inside the human body, that is, by the process of one cell dividing into two cells at a fast pace. To fuel growth and division, bac...

Along with the growth and processing of banana fruit, a considerable amount biomass (pseudostem, bloom, leaves, suckers) is also produced. The extra left in field after bunches are harvested either burned, dumped into lakes rivers or just on bunds. This harms ecology wellbeing living things by contaminating nearby water supplies air. findings this study suggest that blanching pseudostem candy f...

Over 20 years of pharmacological, physiological , and genetic studies have established that NMDA receptors (NMDARs), a subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors , play key roles in numerous physiological and pathological processes in the brain (Dingledine et al., 1999). In particular , activation of NMDARs is required for long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), the two majo...
