The other-race effect is a collection of phenomena whereby faces of one's own race are processed differently from those of other races. Previous studies have revealed a paradoxical mirror pattern of an own-race advantage in face recognition and an other-race advantage in race-based categorisation. With a well-controlled design, we compared recognition and categorisation of own-race and other-ra...

Previous studies demonstrated that observing another person's grasp action modulated the observer's attention to the object in a manner congruent with another person's action goal. These studies suggest that this grasp-cueing effect results from representation of the observer's understanding of action intention in the mirror neuron system. This system serves as the neural mechanism underlying a...

Polyelectrolyte capsules with silver and gold nanoparticles in the shell composition have been obtained using calcium carbonate and polystyrene microparticles as cores. Capsules were modified with silver nanoparticles using silver mirror reaction. Gold nanoparticles were embedded in capsule shells via their adsorption from previously obtained sol. A significant difference in the structure of ca...

Cu(OAc)(2)-mediated dehydrogenative cross-coupling between two heteroarenes has been realized in the absence of any other additive. A mechanism involving a formal Cu(II) to Cu(0) route by convergent disproportionation of the copper mediator is proposed and has been evidenced by copper mirror formation during the reaction. This synthetic protocol provides a concise and "green" access to unsymmet...

The title compound, C(6)H(12)N(2)S(4), was obtained as a by-product (8%) during the reaction of the electrogenerated cyano-methyl anion with phenyl-amine, carbon disulfide and methyl iodide. The mol-ecule, with the exception of 8 H atoms, lies on a crystallographic mirror plane and is arranged around an inversion centre located at the mid-point of the N-N bond.

The reaction of (E)-tert-butyl 4-[3-(dimethyl-amino)acrylo-yl]piperidine-1-carboxyl-ate with methyl-hydrazine leads to the formation of the title compound, C(14)H(23)N(3)O(2), with a 1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl substituent. The plane of the pyrazole ring forms a dihedral angle of 33.4 (1)° with the approximate mirror plane of the piperidine ring.

Claims to have identified mirror neurons in human cortex have been controversial. A recent study has applied an fMRI adaptation protocol to the problem and come up with novel evidence for the existence of movement-selective mirror neurons in human cortex.

Are you sitting down? Of the four rate parts, the MBS price and delivery fees are the only constant between all lenders. All mortgage lenders get the same MBS pricing and all mortgage lenders are using the same delivery fee rules, so the only difference in rates should be based on the lender’s performance – right? It should be, but it doesn’t work that way in reality, which can lead to unhappy ...

Objectives: Mirror therapy is a unique treatment with a touch of modality that is purported to improve the motor function of the affected limb in individuals with hemiplegia. Previous studies have focused on the neuro-physiological factors underlying the mechanism of the clinical effect of this technique. The present study aims to understand the mechanism using the rehabilitation method and neu...
