The effect on jaw movements of intracerebral injections of the dopamine D1-like receptor agents SK&F 83959 (3-methyl-6-chloro-7,8-dihydroxy-1-[3-methylphenyl]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine), SK&F 38393 ([R]-7,8-dihydroxy-1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine) and SCH 23390 ([R]-3-methyl-7-chloro-8-hydroxy-1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine) and of injections of the dopamine D2-like receptor agonist quinpirole into the ventrolateral striatum, accumbens shell or prefrontal cortex were studied. SK&F 38393 and SK&F 83959 injected into the ventrolateral striatum synergised with i.v. quinpirole; in the shell of accumbens, SK&F 38393 evidenced weaker synergism with quinpirole, while SK&F 83959 did not synergise with it; neither agent synergised with quinpirole in the prefrontal cortex. Co-injection of SCH 23390 or SK&F 83959 into the prefrontal cortex antagonised jaw movements induced by injection of SK&F 83959 into the ventrolateral striatum in combination with i.v. quinpirole. Injection of SK&F 83959 + quinpirole into the ventrolateral striatum, but not into the accumbens shell, resulted in synergism. These findings indicate a primary, but not exclusive, role for ventral striatal, non-cyclase-coupled dopamine D1-like receptors in the induction of jaw movements. These processes appear to require tonic activity of prefrontal cyclase-linked dopamine D1A [and/or D1B] receptors.

Aspartate ammonia lyases catalyze the reversible amination of fumarate to l-aspartate. Recent studies demonstrate that the thermostable enzyme from sp. YM55-1 (AspB) can be engineered for the enantioselective production of substituted β-amino acids.

Atrial fibrillation and heart failure have both been suggested to increase stroke and dementia risk. However, in observational studies, reversed causation and unmeasured confounding may occur. To mitigate these issues, this study aims to investigate if higher genetic risk for atrial fibrillation and heart failure increases dementia and stroke risk.

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and muscular fitness are powerful confounders in age and sex-related comparisons. This paper provides a perspective on the benefits and limitations of matching participants by physical activity behaviour, objectively measured fitness and normative fitness percentiles. Data presented herein are a subset of a larger study, and highlight that matching by physical activity, does not necessarily match on other metrics like physical fitness, especially when age-related comparisons are being made.

Spiking neurons are essential for building energy-efficient biomimetic spatiotemporal systems because they communicate with other neurons using sparse and binary signals. However, the achievable high density of artificial neurons having a capacitor for emulating the integrate function of biological neurons has a limit. Furthermore, a low-voltage operation (<1.

Background & Aim: Twenty-four-hour urinary copper excretion (24 h-UCE) is the standard diagnostic tool for dose adjustments in maintenance therapy in Wilson disease (WD) patients. Guidelines lack data if both variants of 24 h-UCE measurement (with or without 48 h of treatment interruption) are equally interpretable.
Methods: Eighty-four patients with a confirmed diagnosis of WD treated with chelators (50% of patients with D-Penicillamine and 50% with trientine) and with pairwise 24-h-UCE values on-therapy and off-therapy were included in the analysis.
