PERSONALITY, EXECUTIVE CONTROL, AND NEUROBIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFERENT FORMS OF RISKY DRIVING.

Personality, Executive Control, and Neurobiological Characteristics Associated with Different Forms of Risky Driving.

BACKGROUND:Road crashes represent a huge burden on global health.Some drivers are prone to repeated episodes of risky driving (RD) and are over-represented in crashes and related morbidity.However, their characteristics are heterogeneous, hampering development of targeted intervention strategies.This study hypothesized that distinct personality, co

Play-solicitation gestures in chimpanzees in the wild: flexible adjustment to social circumstances and individual matrices

Social play is a frequent behaviour in great apes and involves sophisticated Wireless/IP forms of communicative exchange.While it is well established that great apes test and practise the majority of their gestural signals during play interactions, the influence of demographic factors and kin relationships between the interactants on the form and v

mRNA processing in mutant zebrafish lines generated by chemical and CRISPR-mediated mutagenesis produces unexpected transcripts that escape nonsense-mediated decay.

As model organism-based research shifts from forward to reverse genetics approaches, largely due to the ease of genome editing technology, a low frequency of abnormal phenotypes is being observed in lines with mutations predicted to lead to deleterious effects on the encoded protein.In zebrafish, this low frequency is in part explained by compensat
