The early stages of heart development: insights from chicken embryos [PDF]
The heart is the first functioning organ in the developing embryo and the detailed understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in its formation provides insights into congenital malformations affecting its function and therefore the ...

The role of spatial frequency information for ERP components sensitive to faces and emotional facial expression [PDF]
To investigate the impact of spatial frequency on emotional facial expression analysis, ERPs were recorded in response to low spatial frequency (LSF), high spatial frequency (HSF), and unfiltered broad spatial frequency (BSF) faces with fearful or ...

Routine repeat head CT may not be necessary for patients with mild TBI. [PDF]
Background:Routine repeat cranial CT (RHCT) is standard of care for CT-verified traumatic brain injury (TBI). Despite mixed evidence, those with mild TBI are subject to radiation and expense from serial CT scans.

Assessment of brain midline shift using sonography in neurosurgical ICU patients [PDF]
Abstract Introduction Brain midline shift (MLS) is a life-threatening condition that requires urgent diagnosis and treatment. We aimed to validate bedside assessment of MLS with Transcranial Sonography (TCS) in neurosurgical ICU patients by comparing it to CT.

Background: Findings on a head CT scan could use the midline shift (MLS) parameter to assess the severity of head injury. Midline shift was also known to serve as an indicator that was frequently associated with the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) in head ...

A Cre‐dependent lentiviral vector for neuron subtype‐specific expression of large proteins
We designed a versatile and modular lentivector comprising a Cre‐dependent switch and self‐cleaving 2A peptide and tested it for co‐expression of GFP and a 2.8 kb gene of interest (GOI) in mouse cortical parvalbumin (PV+) interneurons and midbrain dopamine (TH+) neurons.

The avian tectobulbar tract: development, explant culture, and effects of antibodies on the pattern of neurite outgrowth [PDF]
The tectobulbar tract is the first long-distance projecting fiber pathway to appear during the development of the avian optic tectum (dorsal half of the mesencephalon).

Mouse pre‐implantation development involves a transition from totipotency to pluripotency. Integrating transcriptomics, epigenetic profiling, low‐input proteomics and functional assays, we show that eight‐cell embryos retain residual totipotency features, whereas cytoskeletal remodeling regulated by the ubiquitin‐proteasome system drives progression ...

Automated Video Analysis of Animal Movements Using Gabor Orientation Filters [PDF]
To quantify locomotory behavior, tools for determining the location and shape of an animal’s body are a first requirement. Video recording is a convenient technology to store raw movement data, but extracting body coordinates from video recordings is a ...
