ABSTRACT Transient Potential Receptor (TRP) ion channels are a diverse superfamily of multimodal molecular sensors that respond to wide variety stimuli, including mechanical, chemical, and thermal. TRP present in most eukaryotes but best understood mammalian, worm, fly genetic models, where they expressed cell-types commonly associated with the nervous system. Here, we characterized gene genome evolution better understand origins sensors, brains, behavior animals help advance development...
Circadian rhythm is usually regulated by the environmental light-dark cycle. Congenitally anophthalmic miniature pigs provide a valuable model for study of factors affecting circadian rhythms in absence visual exposure to This investigated growth and daily behavior patterns Lee-Sung with congenital anophthalmia. Growth 5 (LSP) anophthalmia (LSP-A) 10 normally developed (LSP-N) was assessed when they were 1 through 6 mo old. Behavioral studies using digital video recording completed sexually...
