Fear refers to an adaptive response in the face of danger, and formed fear memory acts as a warning when individual faces dangerous situation again, which is great significance survival humans animals. Excessive caused by abnormal can lead neuropsychiatric disorders. has been studied for long time, certain guiding effect on treatment fear-related With continuous technological innovations, study...

How do exposures to stress affect biobehavioral development and, through it, psychiatric and biomedical disorder? In the health sciences, the allostatic load model provides a widely accepted answer to this question: stress responses, while essential for survival, have negative long-term effects that promote illness. Thus, the benefits of mounting repeated biological responses to threat are trad...

The tumor suppressor protein p53 plays a central role in the multiple response pathways activated by DNA damage. In particular, p53 is involved in both the pro-survival response of cell cycle arrest and DNA repair, and the pro-death response of apoptosis. How does the p53 network coordinate the different pathways that lead to the opposite cell fates and what is its strategy in making the life-d...

the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical (hpa) axis is a critical adaptive system that maximizes survival potential in the face of physical or psychological challenge. the principal end products of the hpa axis, glucocorticoid hormones, act on multiple organ systems, including the brain, to maintain homeostatic balance. the brain is a target of stress, and the hippocampus is the first brain reg...

introduction: a comparision of cytogenetic methods in the evaluation of occupationally received radiation dose by medical radiation workwrs and a study of adaptive response to subsequent higher radiation exposure in this group.the purpose of this research was to study the effects of two cryoprotectants on viability, motility, morphology and fertilization rate of mouse sperm after freezing-thawi...

The adaptive potential of the northernmost Pinus sylvestris L. (and other northern tree) populations is considered by examining first the current patterns of quantitative genetic adaptive traits, which show high population differentiation and clines. We then consider the postglacial history of the populations using both paleobiological and genetic data. The current patterns of diversity at nucl...

Activation of adaptive mechanisms plays a crucial role in cancer progression and drug resistance by allowing cell survival under stressful conditions. Therefore, inhibition of the adaptive response is considered as a prospective therapeutic strategy. The PERK-eIF2α phosphorylation pathway is an important arm of the unfolded protein response (UPR), which is induced under conditions of endoplasmi...

This paper presents an empirical mode decomposition (EMD) based adaptive filter (AF) for channel estimation in OFDM system.  In this method, length of channel impulse response (CIR) is first approximated using Akaike information criterion (AIC). Then, CIR is estimated using adaptive filter with EMD decomposed IMF of the received OFDM symbol. The correlation and kurtosis measures are used to sel...
