Innate behaviors meet multiple needs adaptively and in a serial order, suggesting the existence of a hitherto elusive brain dynamics that brings together representations of upcoming behaviors during ...

How does our brain switch between different behaviors? A new study has now provided the first answers to this key question in neuroscience. Using mice, the researchers investigated electrical activity ...

Innate behaviors are frequently comprised of ordered sequences of component actions that progress to satisfy essential drives. Progression is governed by specialized sensory cues that induce ...

A new study finds that lab mice perform a suite of likely innate behaviors towards unconscious mice that help them revive faster. When we humans encounter an unconscious person, we might spring into ...

All organisms rely on the immune system to protect them against disease. Unlike mammals, insects lack acquired immunity and rely solely on the innate immune system, which consists of cellular and ...
