It has been shown that EPs in the sensorimotor cortex of amygdalectomized cats appear in response to almost all burst of tone frequencies ranging from 0.2 to 10.0 khz. No EPs with maximal amplitudes and maximal response probability (observed in intact animals), have been recorded in response to frequencies of 0.8, 1.6 and 2.0 to 3.0 khz. The curves of dependency of EPs amplitude and appearance probability on the tone frequency had not a single statistically significant maximum. Partial ablation of the amygdala complex impairs frequency selectivity of sensosimotor cortical EPs revealed in intact animals. The obtained data suggest that the amygdala complex is an essential element of the system detecting biologically meaningful parameters of the acoustic signal.

Although viruses subvert innate immune pathways for their replication, there is evidence they can also co-opt antiviral responses for their benefit. The ubiquitous human pathogen, Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), encodes a protein (UL12.5) that induces the release of mitochondrial nucleic acid into the cytosol, which activates immune-sensing pathways and reduces productive replication in nonneuronal cells.

The use of escape protein, which is absorbed in the small intestine, can improve the production of ruminant animals because it meets their protein requirements better. This study hypothesized that wax lipid matrices are effective encapsulants for escape lysine in ruminants and tested tannin extract as an adjuvant. Forty intact male Santa Ines × Dorper sheep (~4 months old, BW 23 ± 1.

Two billion people worldwide suffer from anemia, which can lead to the onset of cardiac disorders; nevertheless, the precise mechanisms remain unclear. There are at least three distinct mechanisms by which iron deficiency (ID) contributes to the development of cardiac disorders. First, ID increases concentrations of intact fibroblast growth factor-23 (iFGF-23), which promotes left ventricular hypertrophy.

Objective: Therapeutic translation is challenging in spinal cord injury (SCI) and large animal models with high clinical relevance may accelerate therapeutic development. Pigs have important anatomical and physiological similarities to humans. Intraspinal inflammation mediates SCI pathophysiology.
