摘要:Billions of people throughout the world are bilingual, and they can extract meaning from multiple languages. While some evidence suggests that there is a shared system in the human brain for processing semantic information from native and non-native languages, other evidence suggests that semantic processing is language specific. We conducted a study to determine how semantic information for different languages is represented in the brains of bilinguals. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (...

摘要:Giant planets and brown dwarfs play a crucial role in star and planet formation as they are situated at the boundary between planets and stars with uncertain formation mechanisms. Previous observational searches for the formation boundary were hampered by the lack of large unified samples of wide-orbit giant planets and substellar companions. A combined analysis of radial velocity and astrometry mitigates this problem and has significantly enlarged the sample. Here, we present a rigorous stati...

摘要:Whole genome sequencing (WGS) studies in large biobanks provide an unprecedented opportunity to study the rare-variant (RV) effects on the natural history of human diseases by analyzing censored time-to-event (TTE) phenotypes, such as age at disease diagnosis, disease progression, and lifespan. Unlike existing methods developed for continuous and categorical phenotypes, rare-variant association tests (RVATs) for TTE phenotypes in large biobanks face several major challenges, including heavy ce...

摘要:Evolution is a historical process whose trajectories are determined in part by the introduction of new phenotypes. Although most phenotypes have evolved repeatedly within and among clades of organisms, others are unique and apparently originated only once, and even the earliest occurrences of repeated traits were unique for their time. To investigate the timing and circumstances of these unique events, we compiled adult skeletal phenotypes with single origins and first occurrences of repeated ...

摘要:As humans, we store and share information. This allows us to distribute knowledge necessary for survival and to coordinate large groups. Our hominin ancestors harnessed the surfaces of mobile artifacts and cave walls as information carriers since the Paleolithic time period. Theories abound as to the meaning and function of these Paleolithic signs. However, very little is known about their basic, measurable properties. We here analyze a corpus of more than 200 mobile objects of a 43,000 to 34,...

摘要:Social distancing can mitigate the spread of diseases in humans and animals. Social distancing allows susceptible individuals to protect themselves (and others) but confers no personal benefit for infected individuals if recovery provides immunity. However, individuals are likely to be at least weakly altruistic and may be interested in protecting others when infected. A strongly altruistic population where individuals value others as equal to themselves would be expected to self-isolate when ...
