Article Abstract

An essential difference is established between the dorsal, and ventral regions of the cerebral cortex: While dorsal cortex--linked to archicortex or hippocampal allocortex--elaborates acts, and objects used in, or by, acts, ventral cortex--linked to paleocortex or olfactory allocortex, builds up preventive values favoring the inhibition of acts whenever the use of objects may become dangerous. Such a distinction between the dorsal and ventral regions of the cerebral cortex is founded mainly on disinhibition syndromes appearing in patients with ventral lesions--besides, the said distinction can explain some disinhibition demonstrations included in the schizophrenic clinical pictures.

Background: Trait variation is shaped by functional roles of traits and the strength and direction of selection acting on the traits. We hypothesized that in butterflies, sexually selected colouration is more variable owing to condition-dependent nature and directional selection on sexual ornaments, whereas naturally selected colouration may be less variable because of stabilising selection. We measured reflectance spectra, and extracted colour parameters, to compare the amount of variation in sexually versus naturally selected colour patches across wing surfaces and sexes of 20 butterfly species across 4 families (Nymphalidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Lycaenidae).

Short- and long-range roles of UNC-6/Netrin in dorsal-ventral axon guidance in vivo in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Recent studies in vertebrates and Caenorhabditis elegans have reshaped models of how the axon guidance cue UNC-6/Netrin functions in dorsal-ventral axon guidance, which was traditionally thought to form a ventral-to-dorsal concentration gradient that was actively sensed by growing axons. In the vertebrate spinal cord, floorplate Netrin1 was shown to be largely dispensable for ventral commissural growth. Rather, short range interactions with Netrin1 on the ventricular zone radial glial stem cells was shown to guide ventral commissural axon growth.

Purpose This study aimed to clarify which positions are beneficial for patients with pathological lung diseases, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, by obtaining lung ventilation and deformable vector field (DVF) images using Deformable Image Registration (DIR). Methods Thirteen healthy volunteers (5 female, 8 male) provided informed consent to participate to observe changes in normal lungs. DIR imaging was processed using the B-spline algorithm to obtain BH-CTVI (inhale, exhale) in four body positions (supine, prone, right lateral, left lateral) using DIR-based breath-hold CT ventilation imaging (BH-CTVI).

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI)-induced neuropathic pain (NP) is a severe disease with high prevalence in clinics. Gene reprogramming and tissue remodeling in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and spinal cord (SC) drive the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain (NP). However, our understanding of the NP-associated spatial molecular processing landscape of SC and the non-synaptic interactions between DRG neurons and SC cells remains limited.

Context: Transcutaneous spinal stimulation (TSS), applied to the cervical spine, is able to improve voluntary upper extremity strength and function in individuals with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). While most respond and improve in the presence of TSS, others do not respond as favorably. Midsagittal tissue bridges, adjacent to the lesion, can be observed and measured using T-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and both ventral and dorsal tissue bridges are associated with recovery following SCI.
