• There are top-down and bottom-up aspects to attentional bias. This was explored in dependent nondependent smokers. Dependent smokers have decreased inhibitory control for smoking-related stimuli. Results may indicate that goal-state affects Substance use causes biases substance-related Both (preferential processing) (inhibitory control) processes involved biases. We these of bias by using non...

Aims: Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder. Deficit in sensory functions is one of the characteristics of people with autism, and usually these people show abnormality in processing and correct interpretation of auditory information. Also people with Autism show problems in communicating with others. This review article deals with the accurate understanding of Auditory processing skills...

Hyperekplexia is a rare non-epileptic disorder characterized by an exaggerated and persistent startle reaction to the unexpected tactile and acoustic stimuli. The disorder is occasionally associated with generalized muscular rigidity and has the clinical hallmark of positive nose tapping test.The disease is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion.  Recessively inherited and sporadic forms of...

Stimuli-responsive chromic materials have received increasing research attention. This review summarizes the most cutting-edge carbon-centered radicals, with a focus on their structures, properties and applications as stimuli-chromic materials.

A new stimuli-responsive compound whose optical properties were significantly affected by acid was synthesized, combined with spiropyran and used for high-level information encryption taking advantage of their orthogonal responsiveness to external stimuli.

Many extracellular factors sensitize nociceptors. Often they act simultaneously and/or sequentially on nociceptive neurons. We investigated if stimulation of the protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε) signaling pathway influences the signaling of a subsequent sensitizing stimulus. Central in activation of PKCs is their transient translocation to cellular membranes. We found in cultured nociceptive neu...

Self-immolative linkers offer efficient mechanisms for deprotecting ‘caged’ functional groups in response to specific stimuli. Herein we describe a convenient ‘click’ chemistry method introducing pendant self-immolative polymer backbone through post-polymerization modification. The introduced triazole rings serve both anchor the stimuli-cleavable trigger backbone, while also forming part of sel...
