HETEROGENEITY IN THE PROJECTIONS AND EXCITABILITY OF TYRAMINERGIC/OCTOPAMINERGIC NEURONS THAT INNERVATE THE DROSOPHILA REPRODUCTIVE TRACT

Heterogeneity in the projections and excitability of tyraminergic/octopaminergic neurons that innervate the Drosophila reproductive tract

Aminergic nuclei in mammals are generally composed of relatively small numbers of cells with broad projection patterns.Despite the gross similarity of many individual neurons, recent transcriptomic, anatomic and behavioral studies suggest previously unsuspected diversity.Smaller clusters of aminergic neurons in the model organism Drosophila melanog

Harassment in Brazilian universities: how big is this problem? The Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) as a case study

Abstract Harassment is a common problem in many institutions, including academic ones.It creates invisible barriers for attracting and maintaining women and other minorities at academia.In this work, we quantify and qualify this problem in one of the biggest universities of Brazil, the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS).We applied a sp
