Spatial representations are a fundamental aspect of cognition. It remains largely unknown when and why the capacity to neurally represent space first evolved. In this opinion article, we argue that a strong candidate for the earliest such representation is the encoding of head direction. Dedicated circuits that compute head direction by integrating self-motion and external cues have been described

Animals need to balance exploiting an available resource against exploring the environment for potentially better alternatives. A new study has revealed that fruit flies integrate long-term metabolic state and recent feeding experience to produce sophisticated search behaviors, which, surprisingly, do not rely on the fly’s internal compass.

I svensk historieskrivning kallas 1600-talet ofta för “stormaktstiden”, och dåtidens Sverige betecknas som en stormakt. Denna terminologi är emellertid inte självklar och har, som denna artikel visar, en historisk bakgrund. Före 1800-talets mitt betecknade historikerna inte 1600-talet som en tid präglad av någon särskild storhet, även om kung Gustav II Adolf hyllades för sina insatser under trettiIn Swedish history, the 17th century is usually named stormaktstiden (Great Power Age) and Sweden of the time is called a stormakt (great power). This terminology is not evident and it has a history. Before the middle of the 19th century, historians did not denote the 17th century as an age of any specific greatness, although king Gustav II Adolf was lauded for his performance in the Thirty Year’s

Over the past two decades, the Nordic countries have attracted atten-tion, for instance, due to their high rankings in surveys of happinessand a range of other economic and social indicators. This special issueinvestigates how strategic communication is theorized and practicedwithin this regional context, focusing on the distinctive conditions thatshape both conceptual frameworks and professional

Structural variants, such as deletions, insertions, and inversions, have been increasingly recognized as important drivers of genome evolution, in the era of high-throughput sequencing. However, large-scale chromosomal rearrangements involving multiple chromosomes, including translocations, chromosomal fusions, and fissions, remain relatively understudied, especially outside of clinical and model

Domestication and artificial selection for desirable traits have driven significant phenotypic changes and left detectable genomic footprints in farmed animals. Since the 1960s, intensive breeding has led to the rapid domestication of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), with multiple independent events that make it a valuable model for studying early domestication stages and the parallel evolution of p

The Period genes (Per) play essential roles in modulating the molecular circadian clock timing in a broad range of species, which regulates the physiological and cellular rhythms through the transcription-translation feedback loop. While the Period gene paralogs are widely observed among vertebrates, the evolutionary history and the functional diversification of Per genes across vertebrates are no

This article introduces the special issue Animal Privacy, situating its contributions in the fields of animal studies and privacy studies. By analyzing how a focus on non-human perspectives can reframe understandings of privacy, this introduction highlights how the authors in this special issue add new perspectives on animal privacy in the context of technology and surveillance, ethics and consent

This article examines the benefits and pitfalls of using topic modeling to analyze discursive changes in sixteenth- and eighteenth-century German midwifery books. These periods were marked by transformations in the perspectives of midwives’ knowledge and practices, providing important insight into how midwifery was discussed as a field between private practice and public legitimization. By highlig

Modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have a rapidly growing impact on a wide range of human activities. AI methods are being used in varied domains such as healthcare, material science, infrastructure engineering, social media, surveillance technologies, and even artistic expression. They have been used for the purposes of drug discovery via protein folding prediction, power usage opti

This epilogue presents the main insights from Women’s PrivatePractices of Knowledge Production in Early Modern Europe, demonstratingthe key ways in which privacy factored into women’s knowledge-makingpractices. The chapter highlights women’s strategies of publicizing theprivate as a knowledge-sharing strategy, the role of the home in knowledgemaking in the early modern period, and the limitations

This chapter introduces the Privacy at Sea volume, demonstrating the contributions of privacy studies in researching early modern and maritime history. It provides a more dynamic understanding of privacy in the challenging environment of life at sea, focusing on the many strategies that enable people a certain level of negotiation and regulation of how information, bodies, behaviours, and accounts

This article addresses the ethical and epistemological challenges of interdisciplinary efforts through the interactional lens of proximity. How can we ensure interdisciplinarity in unequal institutional, disciplinary, and geopolitical environments? What does it mean to do research when epistemological frameworks clash between fields and sectors? Which echo chambers are perpetuated when we limit in
