Design: Using neural activity in an a priori region of interest (a subregion of medial prefrontal cortex; MPFC), in response to ads designed to help smokers quit smoking, we prospectively predicted reductions in smoking ...

The none reducing sugar floridosides and sucrose, which are abundant in photosynthetic red algae and green plants, respectively, are recognized as the initial stable neutral saccharides produced in large quantity. In the fifties, when the author started a research program on the assimilation of translocated neutral saccharides in sink organs, live red algae were not readily available and the st...
