Chronic exposure to increased glucocorticoid concentrations appears to lower the threshold for hippocampal neuronal degeneration in the old rat. It has been proposed that increased brain exposure to glucocorticoids may lower the threshold for hippocampal neuronal degeneration in human aging and Alzheimer's disease. Here, we asked whether chronic administration of high-dose cortisol to older non...

PURPOSE To evaluate choroidal thickness in patients with non-ocular Behçet's disease (BD) using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and to compare the results to normal eyes. METHODS In this retrospective observational comparative study, we collected OCT and clinical data from the charts of 4 patients (7 eyes) with BD who had been referred for a screening eye exam and had a ...

1. Status of the Memo This RFC proposes an elective experimental Encoding header field to permit the mailing of multi-part, multi-structured messages. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. 2. Introduction RFC 822 [2] defines an electronic mail message to consist of two parts, the message header and the message body, separated by an apparently blank line. The Encoding header field permits the ...

The aim of the present study was to characterize the spatial and temporal features of synaptic and discharge receptive fields (RFs), and to quantify their relationships, in cat area 17. For this purpose, neurons were recorded intracellularly while high-frequency flashing bars were used to generate RFs maps for synaptic and spiking responses. Comparison of the maps shows that some features of th...

Pathology studies have shown that the anatomical subregions of the hippocampal formation are differentially affected in various neurological disorders, including temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Analysis of structure and function within these subregions using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the potential to generate insights on disease associations as well as normative brain function. In this...

Magnetic resonance imaging has linked chronic voltage-gated potassium channel (VGKC) complex antibody-mediated limbic encephalitis with generalized hippocampal atrophy. However, autoantibodies bind to specific rodent hippocampal subfields. Here, human hippocampal subfield (subiculum, cornu ammonis 1-3, and dentate gyrus) targets of immunomodulation-treated LGI1 VGKC-complex antibody-mediated li...

this article is supported by bourdieus theory of literary production. therefore the main question of this research is concerned with the chiasmatic structure of this filed. first of all i start with reviewing bourdieu's theory briefly to use it in further arguments. also i illustrate the polarized structure of the subfield of poetry within iranian literary associations and institutions. ma...

Let K be a subfield of R. The theory of the ordered K-vector space R expanded by a predicate for Z is decidable if and only if K is a real quadratic field.
