Continued overexpression of EPSPS transgene enhances fitness in multigeneration crop–wild rice hybrids and its long-term environmental impact [PDF]
Transgene flow from genetically engineered (GE) crops to their wild relatives has aroused worldwide biosafety concerns. Environmental impact caused by transgene flow from GE glyphosate herbicide-tolerant rice overexpressing the endogenous EPSPS (5 ...

Transport‐related effects on intrinsic and synaptic properties of human cortical neurons: A comparative study [PDF]
Abstract figure legend In this study, we investigated how transporting brain slices influences the electrophysiological and morphological properties of human cortical neurons. Whole‐cell patch‐clamp recordings were obtained from acute slices prepared from tissue collected during epilepsy or tumor surgeries, either on‐site or off‐site, after ...

A Cholinergic Synaptically Triggered Event Participates in the Generation of Persistent Activity Necessary for Eye Fixation [PDF]
An exciting topic regarding integrative properties of the nervous system is how transient motor commands or brief sensory stimuli are able to evoke persistent neuronal changes, mainly as a sustained, tonic action potential firing.
