Functional role of the type 1 pilus rod structure in mediating host-pathogen interactions.

abstract：:Animals can effortlessly adapt their behavior by generalizing from past aversive experiences, allowing to avoid harm in novel situations. We studied how visual information was sampled by eye-movements during this process called fear generalization, using faces organized along a circular two-dimensional perceptual cont...
