the mesolimbic dopamine (da) system contains both d1-like and d2-like receptors, has been connected to control of locomotor behavior. an apparent role for d1 and d2 receptors throughout the mesolimbic system in the alteration of locomotor behavior has been demonstrated in pharmacological studies. the nucleus accumbens (nac) is comprised of a core and a shell subregion, which is a component of t...

because of continuous changing of anatomy, function and metabolism of the human brain, age- related change is a major risk factor in most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases, including parkinsons and huntingtons disease. therefore, knowing patterns of age-related atrophy of brain tissue can identify causes and possible role of diseases in decreasing brain function with age. the aim of this stu...

The fusion reaction of a halo nucleus 11 Be on 208 Pb is described by a three-body direct reaction model. A time-dependent wave packet approach is applied to a three-body reaction problem. The wave packet approach enables us to obtain scattering solutions without considering the three-body scattering boundary conditions. The time evolution of the wave packet also helps us to obtain intuitive un...

The current status of optical potentials employed in the prediction of thermonuclear reaction rates for astrophysics in the Hauser–Feshbach formalism is discussed. Special emphasis is put on α+nucleus potentials. Further experimental efforts are motivated.

The velocity, charge, and isotopic distributions of the products nuclear reactions with 2 ? Z 11 have been studied in combinations 18O (35 MeV/nucleon) + 181?? (9??) a different isotope spin. correlation yields for detected light elements value Qgg has established. cross sections formation neutron-rich nuclei measured their neutron skin compared. A qualitative interpretation phenomenon signific...

Carbon catalyst consisting of a hybrid structure made up of amorphous carbon and nanographite was prepared from the leaves of Pinus Roxburghii. The catalyst was prepared through sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid treatment of the dried pine leaves; and further functionalized with sulfuric acid treatment to incorporate the acidic functionalities. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by...

Polyglutamine (polyGln) aggregation is implicated in the disease progression of Huntington's disease and other expanded CAG repeat diseases. PolyGln aggregation in vitro follows a simple nucleated growth polymerization pathway without apparent complications such as populated intermediates, alternative assembly pathways, or secondary nucleation phenomena. Previous analysis of the aggregation of ...

18 This work describes the morphology of the sperm cell of Maja brachydactyla, with emphasis on 19 localizing actin and tubulin. The spermatozoon of M. brachydactyla is similar in appearance and 20 organization to other brachyuran spermatozoa. The spermatozoon is a globular cell composed of 21 a central acrosome, which is surrounded by a thin layer of cytoplasm, and a cup-shaped nucleus 22 with...
