On the Relation Between Receptive Field Structure and Stimulus Selectivity in the Tree Shrew Primary Visual Cortex [PDF]
, 2017 There are notable differences in functional properties of primary visual cortex (V1) neurons among mammalian species, particularly those concerning the occurrence of simple and complex cells and the generation of orientation selectivity. Here, we present

A Human Monoclonal Antibody against Hepatitis B Surface Antigen with Potent Neutralizing Activity.
PLoS ONE, 2015 We describe the production and characterization of human monoclonal antibodies (mAb) specific for the major hepatitis B virus (HBV) S protein. The mAbs, two IgG1κ and one IgG1λ, were secreted by B-cell clones obtained from peripheral blood mononuclear ...

Physiology and pathology of somatostatin in the mammalian retina: a current view [PDF]
, 2008 In the retina, peptidergic signalling participates in multiple circuits of visual information processing. The neuropeptide somatostatin (SRIF) is localised to amacrine cells and, in some instances, in a subset of ganglion cells. The variegated expression

Phylogenetic Analysis of Mitochondrial Genes of Malaysian Tupaia Reveals Composite Species in Tupaia Glis [PDF]
, 2015 Recent morphometric analysis on T. glis in Peninsular Malaysia indicates that there were more than one morphotypes in this species. Thus this study attempts to examine this phenomenon using mitochondrial DNA sequences of Cyt b and CO1 genes.
