DISTURBED MENTAL IMAGERY OF AFFECTED BODY-PARTS IN PATIENTS WITH HYSTERICAL CONVERSION PARAPLEGIA CORRELATES WITH PATHOLOGICAL LIMBIC ACTIVITY

Disturbed Mental Imagery of Affected Body-Parts in Patients with Hysterical Conversion Paraplegia Correlates with Pathological Limbic Activity

Patients with conversion disorder read more generally suffer from a severe neurological deficit which cannot be attributed to a structural neurological damage.In two patients with acute conversion paraplegia, investigation with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) showed that the insular cortex, a limbic-related cortex involved in body-repr

Epigenetically modulated miR-1224 suppresses the proliferation of HCC through CREB-mediated activation of YAP signaling pathway

Mounting evidence has demonstrated that microRNA-1224 (miR-1224) is commonly downregulated here and serves as a tumor suppressor in multiple malignancies.However, the role and mechanisms responsible for miR-1224 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear.In this study, we found that the expression of miR-1224 was downregulated in HCC.Low miR-

Free Sugar Profile in Cycads

The sugars fructose, glucose, maltose, and sucrose were quantified in seven tissues of Zamia muricata Willd.to determine their distribution throughout various organs of a model cycad species, and in lateral structural roots of 18 cycad species to determine the variation in sugar concentration and composition among species representing every cycad g

The Importance of the Dissociation Rate in Ion Channel Blocking

Understanding the relationships between the rates and dynamics of current wave forms under voltage clamp conditions is essential for understanding phenomena such as state-dependence and use-dependence, which are fundamental for the action of drugs used as anti-epileptics, anti-arrhythmics, and anesthetics.In the present study, we mathematically ana
