The ipsilateral cortical associative connections of different areas of primary somatic sensory (S1) and motor (M1) cortex were studied in 25 cats after local coagulation and infusion of horseradish peroxidase. It was shown, that the distribution of the associative fiber in M1 and S1 areas corresponded to the borders of somatotopic representation of different body parts. The fields within M1 (4y, 6ab) and S1 (1,2, 3a, 3b) with different morpho-functional organization were not connected by the system of association fibers crossing the cytoarchitectonic borders of the above mentioned areas. Primary somatosensory (S1) and motor (M1) cortex had no reciprocal connections. Single fibers connected neighboring areas of M1 and S1.

Introduction: Pertussis poses a significant threat to infants under six months due to their immature immune systems, limited maternal antibody protection, and constraints in the vaccination schedule. Despite vaccination efforts, this group remains highly susceptible to severe complications. Addressing these challenges is crucial for improving the health outcomes of infants in China.

ConspectusIn the search for efficient and selective electrocatalysts capable of converting greenhouse gases to value-added products, enzymes found in naturally existing bacteria provide the basis for most approaches toward electrocatalyst design. Ni,Fe-carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (Ni,Fe-CODH) is one such enzyme, with a nickel-iron-sulfur cluster named the C-cluster, where CO binds and is converted to CO at high rates near the thermodynamic potential. In this Account, we divide the enzyme's catalytic contributions into three categories based on location and function.

Objective: Disorders of arousal (DoA) are characterized by an intermediate state between wakefulness and deep sleep, leading to incomplete awakenings from NREM sleep. Multimodal studies have shown subtle neurophysiologic alterations even during wakefulness in DoA. The aim of this study was to explore the brain functional connectivity in DoA and the metabolic profile of the anterior and posterior cingulate cortex, given its pivotal role in cognitive and emotional processing.

Its medical importance has made it a subject of numerous efforts to understand their biology. One such effort, was the development of a high-quality reference genome (AaegL5).

Halting the progression of breast cancer brain metastases (BCBMs) may require modulation of the tumor microenvironment (TME), yet little is known about the impact of the primary breast TME on brain tropism, or how, once there, metastatic breast cancer cells coexist with brain-resident cells (e.g.
