Discounting of Hypothetical Monetary Outcomes that are Both Delayed and Probabilistic
<p>The value of an outcome is affected both by the delay until its receipt: delay discounting) and by the likelihood of its receipt: probability discounting). Despite being well described by the same hyperboloid function, delay and probability discounting involve fundamentally different processes, …

Neuronal PAS Domain 1 Protein and Its Hypothetical Relationship to Autism
Neuronal PAS domain 1 (NPAS1) was discovered in 1997 as a brain-specific transcription factor first detected at embryonic day 15 of the developing mouse embryo. Its expression was observed to peak in the early post-natal days, and in situ hybridization assays in adult mice revealed expression …
