Category-selective brain areas exhibit varying levels of neural activity to ipsilaterally presented stimuli. However, in face- and house-selective areas, the neural responses evoked by ipsilateral stimuli in the peripheral visual field remain unclear. In this study, we displayed face and house images using a wide-view visual presentation system while performing functional magnetic resonance ima...

Asymmetrical specialization of cognitive processes across the cerebral hemispheres is a hallmark of healthy brain development and an important evolutionary trait underlying higher cognition in humans. While previous research, including studies of priming, divided visual field presentation, and split-brain patients, demonstrates a general pattern of right/left asymmetry of form-specific versus f...

The title compound, {[Zn(C(14)H(16)N(5)O(3))(2)]·2H(2)O}(n) or [Zn(ppa)(2)]·2H(2)O}(n), where ppa = 8-ethyl-5,8-dihydro-5-oxo-2-(1-piperazin-yl)-pyrido(2,3-d)-pyrimidine-6-carboxyl-ate, was synthesized under hydro-thermal conditions. The Zn(II) atom (site symmetry ) exhibits a distorted trans-ZnN(2)O(4) octa-hedral geometry defined by two monodentate N-bonded and two bidentate O,O-bonded ppa mo...

We present several results on the complexity of various forms of Sperner’s Lemma. In the black-box model of computing, we exhibit a deterministic algorithm for Sperner problems over pseudo-manifolds of arbitrary dimension. The query complexity of our algorithm is essentially linear in the separation number of the skeleton graph of the manifold and the size of its boundary. As a corollary we get...

A capillary electrophoresis/mass spectrometry method for the simultaneous chiral analysis of enantiomers of methamphetamine (MA), amphetamine (AP), dimethylamphetamine (DMA), ephedrine (EP), norephedrine (NE) and methylephedrine (ME) in urine has been developed. The background electrolyte was 1 M formic acid (pH 1.7). Using 0.85 mM heptakis(2,6-diacethyl-6-sulfato)-beta-cyclodextrin as the chir...

BACKGROUND The logopenic variant of Primary Progressive Aphasia (lvPPA) is associated with underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology and characterized by impaired single word retrieval and repetition of phrases and sentences. OBJECTIVE We set out to study whether logopenic aphasia is indeed the prototypic language profile in PPA patients with biomarker evidence of underlying AD pathology ...

We investigated the simultaneous chiral separation of nine amphetamine type stimulants (dl-norephedrine, dl-norpseudoephedrine, dl-ephedrine, dl-pseudoephedrine, dl-amphetamine, dl-methamphetamine, dl-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), dl-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), and dl-methylenedioxyethylamphetamine (MDEA)) by capillary electrophoresis using highly sulfated gamma-cyclodextrin (SU(XI...

MOTIVATION Understanding how drugs and diseases are associated in the molecular level is of critical importance to unveil disease mechanisms and treatments. Until recently, few studies attempt end to discover important gene modules shared by both drugs and diseases. RESULTS Here, we propose a novel presentation of drug-gene-disease relationship, a 'co-module', which is characterized by closel...

The hypothalamus is an important physiologic center of the vertebrate brain involved in the elaboration of individual and species survival responses. To better understand the ancestral organization of the alar hypothalamus we revisit previous data on ScOtp, ScDlx2/5, ScTbr1, ScNkx2.1 expression and Pax6 immunoreactivity jointly with new data on ScNeurog2, ScLhx9, ScLhx5, and ScNkx2.8 expression...
