SPECTRAL PARAMETERS MODULATION AND SOURCE LOCALIZATION OF BLINK-RELATED ALPHA AND LOW-BETA OSCILLATIONS DIFFERENTIATE MINIMALLY CONSCIOUS STATE FROM VEGETATIVE STATE/UNRESPONSIVE WAKEFULNESS SYNDROME.

Spectral parameters modulation and source localization of blink-related alpha and low-beta oscillations differentiate minimally conscious state from vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome.

Recently, the cortical source of blink-related delta oscillations (delta BROs) in resting healthy subjects has been localized in the posterior cingulate cortex/precuneus (PCC/PCu), one of the main core-hubs of the default-mode network.This has been interpreted as the electrophysiological signature of the automatic monitoring of the surrounding envi

Indirect questioning methods for sensitive survey questions: Modelling criminal behaviours among a prison population.

Information such as the prevalence and frequency of criminal behaviour is difficult to estimate using standard survey techniques because of the tendency of respondents to withhold or misrepresent information.Social desirability bias is a significant threat to the validity of self-reported data, especially when supplied by persons such as sexual off

Occurrence of Euplatypus parallelus, Euplatypus sp. (col.: Euplatypodidae) and Xyleborus affinis (col.: Scolytidae) in Pinus sp. in Ribas do Rio Pardo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

Wood borer species of the families Euplatypodidae and Scolytidae were observed attacking trees of Changing Table Pinus sp.in the Municipality of Ribas do Rio Pardo, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, in March 2000.This plantation had been previously burned in an accidental fire in January 2000, causing the trees to become partially or totally unh

Obp56h Modulates Mating Behavior in Drosophila melanogaster

Social interactions in insects are driven by conspecific chemical signals that are detected via olfactory and gustatory neurons.Odorant binding proteins (Obps) transport volatile odorants to chemosensory receptors, but their effects on behaviors remain poorly characterized.Here, we report that RNAi knockdown of Obp56h gene expression in Drosophila
