Axons use temporal and directional guidance cues at intermediate targets to set the rate and direction of growth towards their synaptic targets. Our recent studies have shown that disrupting the temporal guidance process, by unilaterally accelerating the rate at which spinal dI1 (commissural) axons grow, resulted in turning errors both in the ventral spinal cord and after crossing the floor pla...

Unlike prior studies with bilateral cochlear implant users which considered only one interferer, the present study considered realistic listening situations wherein multiple interferers were present and in some cases originating from both hemifields. Speech reception thresholds were measured in bilateral users unilaterally and bilaterally in four different spatial configurations, with one and t...

introduction: estrogen is one of the gonadal hormones that has multiple beneficial actions in central nervous system and involves in learning and memory. alzheimer's disease (ad) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that impairs patient memory. the human nucleus basalis of meynert (nbm) is severely affected in alzheimer's disease. so in this study the effect of peripheral (intr...

HIGHLIGHTSThe redundant bilateral visual presentation of verbal stimuli decreases asymmetry and increases the cooperation between the two hemispheres.The increased cooperation between the hemispheres is related to semantic information during lexical processing.The inter-hemispheric interaction is represented by both inhibition and cooperation. This study explores inter-hemispheric interaction (...

PURPOSE To examine potential modifying effects of body weight and bilateral oophorectomy on the association of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with risk of breast cancer, overall and by subtypes according to status of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2) among postmenopausal women. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN This analysis included ...

Robots usually carry out object segmentation and modelling passively. Sensors such as cameras are actuated by a robot without disturbing objects in the scene. In this paper, we present an intelligent robotic system that physically moves objects in an active manner to perform segmentation and modelling using vision. By visually detecting bilateral symmetry, our robot is able to segment and model...

Recent evidence indicates that task and subject variables that are associated with increased interaction between the left and right cerebral hemispheres result in enhanced performance on tests of episodic memory. The current study looked at the effects of increased interhemispheric interaction on false memories using a verbal converging semantic associates paradigm. In Experiment 1, strong righ...

this paper proposes a novel decision making framework for an electricity retailer to procure its electric demand in a bilateral-pool market in presence of charging and discharging of electric vehicles (evs). the operational framework is a two-stage programming model in which at the first stage, the retailer and ev aggregator do their medium-term planning. determination of retailer's optimum sel...

background: the incidence of ectopic pregnancy varies between 1.5-2% of all pregnancies. bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy is rare. it may occur in 1 per 200 000 pregnancies. case: this is a case report of 25 year-old woman who underwent intra uterine insemination (iui), because of tubal factor infertility (unilateral). on the 30pthp day after the iui she complained from pelvic pain and vaginal...
