Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates brain regions that show reduced activation in aphasic patients compared to healthy controls during language tasks using fMRI.
  • The research involves a meta-analysis of previous fMRI studies to pinpoint these specific brain regions affected by aphasia.
  • Key regions identified with reduced activation include the left inferior frontal gyrus, left middle temporal gyrus, left superior temporal gyrus, left fusiform gyrus, left lentiform nucleus, and the culmen of the cerebellum, which are crucial for language processing and recovery.

Two Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile, aerobic and carotenoid-producing strains, belonging to the family designated as H149 and Z2, were isolated from tidal flat sediment samples collected in Hainan and Zhejiang, PR China, respectively. Growth of strain H149 occurred at 15-42 °C, 0-10.0 % (w/v) NaCl, and pH 6.

Neuronal growth, differentiation, extension, branching and neural network activity are strongly influenced by the mechanical property of extracellular matrix (ECM). However, the mechanism by which substrate stiffness regulates a neural network activity, and the importance of ECM composition in conferring substrate stiffness sensing have not been explored. To address this question, the hippocampal neurons were seeded on the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate with different stiffness, which were coated with fibronectin and laminin respectively.
