 | Endowment effect in capuchin monkeys. |  fig1: A photograph depicting the token exchange method in capuchins. Here, one capuchin subject, Auric, trades a token for a food reward.Bottom Line: We then examine whether capuchins display an endowment effect in a token-trading task.We show that these effects are not due to transaction costs or timing issues.These data suggest that biased preferences rely on cognitive systems that are more evolutionarily... | Lakshminaryanan V, Chen MK, Santos LR - Philos.

 | Pulmonary stem cells and the induction of tissue regeneration in the treatment of emphysema. |  f1-copd-2-131: Computed tomography-derived human tracheo-bronchial tree. In the trachea (site 1) three types of cells may execute the function of stem cell, including basal cells, secretory cells and neuro-endocrine cells. In the bronchial and bronchiolar compartment (site...Bottom Line: Several putative stem cell niches in the lung thought to be involved in lung homeostasis have been described.Apparently, under pathophysiological conditions these resident progenitor cells are unable to recover damaged alveolar epithelium, in particular in... | Lenssen J, Stolk J - Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis (2007) |

 | Do you see what I mean? Corticospinal excitability during observation of culture-specific gestures. |  pone-0000626-g001: Examples of experimental stimuli.A) Euro-American actor performs the classic American ‘hang loose’ gesture. B) Nicaraguan actor performs a typical Nicaraguan gesture ‘I swear (promise)’ and C) one of the control gestures modified from the ASL sign for...Bottom Line: Euro-American participants demonstrated higher CSE during observation of the American compared to the Nicaraguan actor.This motor resonance phenomenon may reflect ethnic and cultural ingroup familiarity effects.The latter result cannot be interpreted simply... | Molnar-Szakacs I, Wu AD, Robles FJ, Iacoboni M - PLoS ONE (2007) |

 | Characteristics of dynamic processing in the visual field of patients with age-related maculopathy. |  Fig2: Gabor stimulus with double sinusoidal modulation in spatial quadrature. The entire patch was stationary, while the plaid pattern moved within the envelope in one of four possible directions. In addition, the stimulus was temporally modulated by a Gaussian envelope...Bottom Line: All measurements were performed under photopic conditions.Motion contrast sensitivity in subjects with ARM was pronouncedly reduced (0.23-0.66 log units, p < 0.01), not only in the macula but in a region up to 20 degrees eccentricity.Double-pulse thresholds... | Eisenbarth W, Mackeben M, Poggel DA, Strasburger H - Graefes Arch.
