AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenges of writing an essay comparing the five sensory systems, particularly confusion stemming from the Stryer biochemistry textbook. The user expresses difficulty with understanding aspects of hearing and touch, described as "totally unknown." They seek recommendations for journals that cover the five senses and an outline of the cell signaling processes involved. A response suggests that journals typically focus on new findings rather than providing comprehensive overviews. Instead, it recommends consulting a specific book that may offer a better foundational understanding of sensory systems.

I'm writing an essay on comparing 5 sensory systems, and have been looking at the chapter of sensory systems in Stryer's "biochemistry" textbook.

It is really confusing me because I've just seen a "totally unknown" on hearing and touch :bugeye: , and i want to look at journals on the 5 senses.

Could anyone give me a clue on which journal i shall read, and also give me a outline of the cell signalling process of these 5 senses? Thanks! :confused: :confused: :confused:

Journals do generally not give you a good overview, but are aimed at new findings. You can better try to find a good book, like this one:

Thread 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
