The Trajectory of Evolution and Its Implications for Humanity

Does the Big History of life on Earth disclose a Swaddle trajectory that has been driven by selection? If so, will the trajectory continue to apply into the future? This paper argues that such a trajectory exists, and examines some of its key implications.The most important consequence is that humanity can use the trajectory to guide how it evolves

Functional odor map heterogeneity is based on multifaceted glomerular connectivity in larval Xenopus olfactory bulb

Summary: Glomeruli are the functional units of the vertebrate olfactory bulb (OB) connecting olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) axons and mitral/tufted cell (MTC) dendrites.In amphibians, these two circuit elements regularly branch and innervate multiple, spatially distinct glomeruli.Using functional multiphoton-microscopy and single-cell tracing, we
