Neural model of memory

Neural model of memory. During a learning experience, a specific neural circuitry (also called engram) becomes activated and encodes the information (A). The red dots illustrate activated neurons. After memory consolidation, this information is stored in long-term memory in a low-activity state (B). When learned information is retrieved, the same neural circuitry becomes activated (C). Adapted from Josselyn et al., Nat Rev Neurosci. 2015 Sep;16(9):521-34.

Schematic representation of environmental factors potentially affecting pyrethroid resistance mechanisms in mosquitoes

Insecticide-based selection pressures are shown as red arrows. Other factors potentially affecting resistance mechanisms are agrochemicals from agriculture, pollutants from urbanisation or industry, allelochemicals from natural xenobiotics, or host interactions from microbiomes.
