Elucidating the mechanisms by which nervous systems process information and generate behavior is among the fundamental problems of biology. The complexity of our brain and plasticity of our behaviors make it challenging to understand even simple human actions in terms of molecular mechanisms and neural activity. However the molecular machines and operational features of our neural circuits are …

In Constructing Muslims in France, Jennifer Fredette provides a deft empi…
