Hybrid fiber optic-fMRI for multimodal cell-specific recording and manipulation of neural activity in rodents.

: Multiscale imaging holds particular relevance to neuroscience, where it helps integrate the cellular and molecular biological scale, which is most accessible to interventions, with holistic organ-level evaluations, most relevant with respect to function. Being inextricably interdisciplinary, multiscale imaging benefits substantially from incremental technology adoption, and a detailed overview of the state-of-the-art is vital to an informed application of imaging methods. : In this article, we lay out the background and methodological aspects of multimodal approaches combining functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with simultaneous optical measurement or stimulation.

Do Live Weight, Body Condition Score, Back Muscle or Back-Fat Reserves Create the Suspicion of Goats Infected with or Trichostrongylids?

Thirty goats of the breeds Czech Brown Shorthaired and Czech White Shorthaired and their crosses were randomly selected from a flock at a farm in the Czech Republic. All animals were monitored for one year at monthly intervals for their nutritional status (live weight, LW; body-condition score, BCS; depth of musculus longissimus thoracis et lumborum, MLTL; back-fat thickness, BT) and infection intensity with sp. (EIM) and strongylid nematodes (STR).

Insights Into the Sunlight-Driven Water Oxidation by Ce and Er-Doped ZrO .

In the present work, the activity of Ce and Er-doped ZrO nanopowders for sun-driven photocatalytic water oxidation has been investigated. ZrO powders with tunable amounts of tetragonal, monoclinic and cubic polymorphs have been synthesized by introducing Ce and Er (from 0.5 to 10 mol % on an oxide basis) through hydrothermal method.

[Trial of use of computer technology for the assistance of neurologic diagnosis].

This article describes our experience of computer-assisted diagnosis. The original aspects of this work are both the subject chosen and the method used. Our study of clinical and semiological data included the whole of neurological signs above the spinal cord.
