Investigating the relationship between task-related hemodynamic responses and cortical excitability is challenging because it requires simultaneous measurement of hemodynamic responses while applying noninvasive brain stimulation. Moreover, cortical excitability and task-related hemodynamic responses are both associated with inter-/intra-subject variabili ...

The influence of illumination history of native bacterial reaction centers (BRCs) on the ability of binding and photo-induced oxidation of manganous ions was investigated in the pH range between 8.0 and 9.4. Binding of manganous ions to a buried site required 6 to 11-fold longer incubation periods, depending on the pH, in dark-adapted BRCs than in BRCs th ...

Diverse physiology relies on receptor and transporter protein down-regulation and degradation mediated by ESCRTs. Loss-of-function mutations in human ESCRT genes linked to cancers and neurological disorders are thought to block this process. However, when homologous mutations are introduced into model organisms, cells thrive and degradation persists, sugg ...

Neurotransmitter receptors modulate signaling between neurons. Thus, neurotransmitter receptors and transporters play a key role in shaping brain function. Due to the lack of comprehensive neurotransmitter receptor/transporter density datasets, microarray gene expression measuring mRNA transcript ...

The metacommunity concept provides a theoretical framework that aims at explaining organism distributions by a combination of environmental filtering, dispersal, and drift. However, few works have attempted a multitaxon approach and even fewer have compared two distant biogeographical regions usi ...

Background: Measurement of care quality and safety mainly relies on abstracted administrative data. However, it is well studied that administrative data-based adverse event (AE) detection methods are suboptimal due to lack of clinical information. Electronic medical records (EMR) have been widely ...

Source identification plays a vital role in implementing control measures for sudden river pollution incidents. In contrast to single-point source identification problems, there have been no investigations into inverse identification of multi-point emissions. In this study, an inverse model is developed based on the observed time series of pollutant conce ...

Background: Research about using physical activity (PA) to improve health, quality of life, and participation after moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is receiving growing attention. However, best-practices for maintaining PA participation after TBI have yet to be defined. In this context, a team of researchers and stakeholde ...

Sex differences in alcohol use and abuse are pervasive and carry important implications for the prevention and treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD), yet insight into underlying sexually dimorphic mechanisms is limited. Growing experimental and clinical evidence points to an important influence of circadian rhythms and circadian clock genes in the contr ...
