Although the cerebral cortex has been implicated in the control of swallowing, the output organization of the cortical swallowing representation, and features of cortically evoked swallowing, remain unclear. The present study defined the output features of the primate "cortical swallowing representation" with intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) applied within the lateral sensorimotor cortex. ...

O método adotado foi bibliográfica análise documental uma série dados 10 anos repasses financeiros ICMS-E ao município Coxim, MS. Sequencialmente, os fo...

Inner cell masses (ICMs) dissected from 4 1/2-day rat blastocysts were aggregated with 2 1/2-day mouse morulae. Successful aggregates formed blastocysts in vitro and morphologically normal 5 1/2-day conceptuses in the mouse uterus. Immunofluorescent analysis of these conceptuses revealed that rat cells were only present in the embryonic ectoderm and endoderm and never in the trophectoderm deriv...

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight intact cell mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-ICMS) was used to differentiate pathogenic Candida species, difficult to identify by traditional methods such as growth and biochemical reactions. Results showed that species complexes like C. parapsilosis, C. orthopsilosis, and C. metapsilsosis, and very closely related species like C. glabrata ...

Rabbit inner cell masses (ICMs) have been prepared by immunosurgery from 96-h-old blastocysts. Their properties are described. It is shown that ICMs prepared this way retain their developmental potentialities. In particular if they are injected into host blastocysts, they appear to be able to participate in the development of the composite blastocysts thus obtained: upon implantation into a fos...

background: embryonic stem (es) cells are pluripotent cells conventionally isolated from early embryos. studies have shown that es cells serve as a practical model for biomedical studies. objective: the aim of the present study was to optimize culture conditions for establishment of es-like colonies from nmri mouse blastocysts as well as 2-cell stage embryos. materials and methods: both expande...

We explored the ventral part of the premotor cortex (PMV) with intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) while monkeys performed a visual fixation task, to see whether the PMV is involved in oculomotor control. ICMS evoked saccades from a small-restricted region in the PMV, without evoking movements in the limbs, neck, or body. We found the saccade-evoking site in the PMV in a total of three hemisp...

Artificial sensation via electrical or optical stimulation of brain sensory areas offers a promising treatment for sensory deficits. For a brain-machine-brain interface, such artificial sensation conveys feedback signals from a sensorized prosthetic limb. The ways neural tissue can be stimulated to evoke artificial sensation and the parameter space of such stimulation, however, remain largely u...
