chubak extract because of its high saponin content, is a unique agent in production stable foam meantime has high pharmaceutical properties. the purpose of current research is to gain these advantages of chubak extract in sponge cake production. for this purpose 25, 50 and 75% of egg white in sponge cake was substituted with this extract and the effects of such substitution on physicochemical a...

Psychophysical tasks for non-human primates have been instrumental in studying circuits underlying perceptual decision-making. To obtain greater experimental flexibility, these tasks have subsequently been adapted for use in freely moving rodents. However, advances in functional imaging and genetic targeting of neuronal populations have made it critical to develop similar tasks for head-fixed m...

Cholinergic deficits are an early and functionally significant manifestation of Alzheimer's disease (AD). These deficits contribute to impairment of hippocampally mediated information processing, including declarative memory impairments and abnormal auditory sensory gating. A functional imaging technique that facilitates identification of changes in cholinergically dependent hippocampal informa...

BACKGROUND Learning motor skills involves subsequent modulation of resting-state functional connectivity in the sensory-motor system. This idea was mostly derived from the investigations on motor execution learning which mainly recruits the processing of sensory-motor information. Behavioral evidences demonstrated that motor skills in our daily lives could be learned through imagery procedures....

Background: Functional neuroimaging can provide pathophysiological information in perinatal asphyxia (PA). However, fundamental unresolved questions remain related to the influence of neurovascular coupling (NVC) maturation on functional responses early development. We aimed probe feasibility and compare multiple sensory stimulations newborns with PA using magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) near...

Recent attempts at high-resolution sensory-stimulated fMRI performed at 1.5 T have had very limited success at demonstrating a somatotopic organization for individual digits. Our purpose was to determine if functional MRI at 4 T can demonstrate the sensory somatotopic map of the human hand. Sensory functional MRI was performed at 4 T in five normal volunteers using a low-frequency vibratory sti...

conclusions the results showed that despite the simultaneous high prevalence of sleep disturbances and sensory processing disorders in children with autism, there isn’t a significant relationship between the two conditions among these children. background autism is a neurological disorder that limits communication, socialization, and participation of children in symbolic play. sensory processin...

given the significance of relativism in molding our worldview and uncovering the nature of truth, this study using the newly-developed concept of emotioncy, attempted to introduce sensory relativism as a new perspective based on which senses can relativize our understanding of the world. to espouse the theory, 24 individuals were interviewed on their experiences of phlebotomy. the results were ...
