Dissociating vestibular and somatosensory contributions to spatial orientation: Inferring object orientation in the surroundings heavily depends on our internal sense of direction of gravity. Previous research showed that this sense is based on the integration of multiple information sources, including visual, vestibular (otolithic), and somatosensory signals. The individual noise characteristics and contributions of these sensors […]

Somatosensory temporal discrimination threshold in Parkinson’s disease parallels disease severity and duration
The somatosensory temporal discrimination threshold (STDT) is defined as the shortest time interval at which an individual recognizes a pair of stimuli as separate in time (Lacruz et al., 1991). It relies on a purely sensory process that allows the brain to "filter" the relevant sensory information from external sources (Costa et al., 2008). Previous studies on healthy subjects have suggested that the STDT depends on the integrity of a complex cortico-subcortical network in which S1 plays an encoding role and basal ganglia determine a time-related interaction between cortical and ... περισσότερα »
Single and paired pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation in drug naïve epilepsy
Epilepsy is characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures (Fisher et al., 2014; 2005), due to a cortical imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory activity resulting in an increased cortical excitability (McCormick and Contreras, 2001; McNamara, 1994). The electroencephalogram (EEG) is routinely used for epilepsy diagnostics and seizure classification (Berg et al., 2010; King et al., 1998; Krumholz et al., 2007). However, a major limitation of the routine EEG is the moderate sensitivity in epilepsy (King et al., 1998; Krumholz et al., 2007), which ha... περισσότερα »

Every year 300,000 new cases of oral cavity squamous cell carcinomas (OCSCCs) are diagnosed worldwide [1] and only half of these patients will survive 5years [2]. The prognosis is negatively affected by inadequate surgical resections [3–5]. Nevertheless, it was recently shown that in current practice up to 85% of the oral resection specimens have inadequate resection margins (⩽5mm distance between tumor border and resection surface) [3,4]. from #ORL via xlomafota13 on Inoreader http://ift.tt/29ivoTN via IFTTT http://ift.tt/29w56ls OtoRhinoLaryngology by Alexandros G.

LRP predicts smooth pursuit eye movement onset during the ocular tracking of self-generated movements
Several studies have indicated that human observers are very efficient at tracking self-generated hand movements with their gaze, yet it is not clear whether this is simply a by-product of the predictability of self-generated actions or if it results from a deeper coupling of the somatomotor and oculomotor systems. In a first behavioral experiment we compared pursuit performance as observers either followed their own finger or tracked a dot whose motion was externally generated but mimicked their finger motion. We found that even when the dot motion was completely predictable in te... περισσότερα »
Dissociating vestibular and somatosensory contributions to spatial orientation
Inferring object orientation in the surroundings heavily depends on our internal sense of direction of gravity. Previous research showed that this sense is based on the integration of multiple information sources, including visual, vestibular (otolithic), and somatosensory signals. The individual noise characteristics and contributions of these sensors can be studied using spatial orientation tasks, such as the subjective visual vertical (SVV) task. A recent study reported that patients with complete bilateral vestibular loss perform similar as healthy controls on these tasks, fro... περισσότερα »
Hypothesis: Hughlings Jackson and presynaptic inhibition: is there a big picture?
Presynaptic inhibition is a very powerful inhibitory mechanism and, despite many detailed studies, its purpose is still only partially understood. One accepted function is that, by reducing afferent inflow to the spinal cord and brainstem, the tonic level of presynaptic inhibition prevents sensory systems from being overloaded. A corollary of this function is that much of the incoming sensory data from peripheral receptors must be redundant, and this conclusion is reinforced by observations on patients with sensory neuropathies or congenital obstetric palsy in whom normal sensation... περισσότερα »
Seven days of high carbohydrate ingestion does not attenuate post-exercise IL-6 and hepcidin levels
AbstractPurpose This investigation examined if a high carbohydrate (CHO) diet, maintained across a seven-day training period, could attenuate post-exercise interleukin-6 (IL-6) and serum hepcidin levels. Methods Twelve endurance-trained male athletes completed two seven-day running training blocks whilst consuming either a high (8 g kg−1) versus a low (3 g kg−1) CHO isoenergetic diet. Each training block consisted of five running sessions performed on days 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7, with the intensity and duration of each session matched between training weeks. Serum levels of Interleukin-... περισσότερα »
Male meliponine bees ( Scaptotrigona aff. depilis ) produce alarm pheromones to which workers respond with fight and males with flight
Abstract In highly social hymenopteran societies, males mainly serve reproductive purposes. Semiochemicals enable the different hymenopteran sexes and castes to communicate with each other and to coordinate important functions within colonies. I hereby show that sexual dimorphism in meliponine bees incorporates the alarm and defence communication system. I chemically analysed the mandibular glands of *Scaptotrigona* aff. *depilis* using GCMS methods and conducted behavioural experiments in both males and female workers using cephalic and mandibular gland extracts. In addition, beha... περισσότερα »

A Novel Redoxin in the Thylakoid Membrane Regulates the Titer of Photosystem I Bioenergetics
In photosynthetic organisms like cyanobacteria and plants, the main engines of oxygenic photosynthesis are the pigment-protein complexes photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II (PSII) located in the thylakoid membrane. In the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, the slr1796 gene encodes a single-cysteine thioredoxin-like protein, orthologs of which are found in multiple cyanobacterial strains as well… Continue reading A Novel Redoxin in the Thylakoid Membrane Regulates the Titer of Photosystem I Bioenergetics
A mouse model for dietary xenosialitis: antibodies to xenoglycan can reduce fertility Immunology
Humans can incorporate the xenoglycan N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) from the diet into reproductive tissues and secretions. Most humans also have circulating antibodies specific for this dietary xenoglycan. The potential for inflammation induced by incorporated Neu5Gc and circulating anti-Neu5Gc antibodies, termed xenosialitis, has been discussed as a factor influencing several human diseases. Potential effects of xenosialitis… Continue reading A mouse model for dietary xenosialitis: antibodies to xenoglycan can reduce fertility Immunology
Endogenous N-terminal domain cleavage modulates {alpha}1D-adrenergic receptor pharmacodynamics Signal Transduction
The α1D-adrenergic receptor (ADRA1D) is a key regulator of cardiovascular, prostate and central nervous system function. This clinically relevant G protein-coupled receptor has proven difficult to study, as it must form an obligate modular homodimer containing PDZ proteins scribble and syntrophin, or become retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as non-functional protein. We previously determined… Continue reading Endogenous N-terminal domain cleavage modulates {alpha}1D-adrenergic receptor pharmacodynamics Signal Transduction

Development and validation of Raman spectroscopic classification models to discriminate tongue squamous cell carcinoma from non-tumorous tissue
Every year 300,000 new cases of oral cavity squamous cell carcinomas (OCSCCs) are diagnosed worldwide [1] and only half of these patients will survive 5years [2]. The prognosis is negatively affected by inadequate surgical resections [3–5]. Nevertheless, it was recently shown that in current practice up to 85% of the oral resection specimens have inadequate resection margins (⩽5mm distance between tumor border and resection surface) [3,4]. from #ORL via xlomafota13 on Inoreader http://ift.tt/29ivoTN via IFTTT
