One influential explanation for the costs incurred when switching between tasks is that they reflect interference arising from completing the previous task—known as task set inertia. We report a novel approach for assessing task-set inertia in a memo... Read More about Direct Real-Time Neural Evidence for Task-Set Inertia.

We describe the identification in aphids of a unique heterodimeric voltage-gated sodium channel which has an atypical ion selectivity filter and, unusually for insect channels, is highly insensitive to tetrodotoxin. We demonstrate that this channel h... Read More about An evolutionarily-unique heterodimeric voltage-gated cation channel found in aphids.
