Evaluation and characterization of lytic phages and their recombinant endolysins for control of Staphylococcus aureus aiming to mitigate bovine mastitis.

As a natural alternative to conventional antimicrobials, bacteriophages are emerging as highly effective biocontrol agents against Staphylococcus aureus and other pathogenic bacteria. Due to the wide diversity of S. aureus types and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, the search for highly lytic and prevalent bacteriophages against S.

Lost in time and space? Multisensory processing of peripersonal space and time perception in people with frequent experiences of depersonalisation.

Perception of one's own body in time and space is a fundamental aspect of self-consciousness. It scaffolds our subjective experience of being present, in the here and now, a vital condition for our survival and well-being. Depersonalisation (DP) is characterised by a distressing feeling of being "spaced out," detached from one's self, as well as atypical "flat" time perception.

Mixed selectivity in monkey anterior intraparietal area during visual and motor processes.

Classical studies suggest that the anterior intraparietal area (AIP) contributes to the encoding of specific information such as objects and actions of self and others, through a variety of neuronal classes, such as canonical, motor and mirror neurons. However, these studies typically focused on a single variable, leaving it unclear whether distinct sets of AIP neurons encode a single or multiple sources of information and how multimodal coding emerges. Here, we chronically recorded monkey AIP neurons in a variety of tasks and conditions classically employed in separate experiments.

Emotional body postures affect inhibitory control only when task-relevant.

A classical theoretical frame to interpret motor reactions to emotional stimuli is that such stimuli, particularly those threat-related, are processed preferentially, i.e., they are capable of capturing and grabbing attention automatically.
