How do factors such as message type, ambivalence, and group identity influence individuals who have strong difficult-to-change attitudes?

Cells can compensate a disruptive change in one ion channel by compensatory changes in other channels. This work has simulated the adaptation of a multicellular aggregate of non-excitable cells to the electrophysiological perturbation produced by the external blocking of a cation channel. In the biophysical model employed, the researchers consider that this blocking provokes a cell depolarization that opens a voltage-gated calcium channel, thus allowing toxic Ca2+ levels...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is convening experts to explore evidence-based strategies to strengthen research integrity, enhance institutional policies, and foster a culture of accountability in the social and behavioral sciences.

This project takes a multidisciplinary approach to exploring how infants, and children up to 4 year olds develop reasoning about multiple possibilities, and how traits and environments shape curiosity, belief revision, and  intellectual humility.
