Population Receptive Field Shapes in Early Visual Cortex Are Nearly Circular
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2021)
The visual field region where a stimulus evokes a neural response is called the receptive field (RF). Analytical tools combined
with functional MRI (fMRI) can estimate the RF of the population of neurons within a voxel. ...
rs641738C>T nearMBOAT7is associated with liver fat, ALT and fibrosis in NAFLD: A meta-analysis
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
Background & Aims: A common genetic variant near MBOAT7 (rs641738C>T) has been previously associated with hepatic fat and advanced histology in NAFLD; however, these findings have not been consistently replicated in the ...
A wheat cysteine-rich receptor-like kinase confersbroad-spectrum resistance against Septoria tritici blotch
(Nature, 2021-01-19)
The poverty of disease resistance gene reservoirs limits the breeding of crops for durable resistance against evolutionary dynamic pathogens. Zymoseptoria tritici which causes Septoria tritici blotch (STB), represents one ...
High Harmonics and Isolated Attosecond Pulses from MgO
(American Physical Society, 2021-01-08)
On the basis of real-time ab initio calculations, we study the nonperturbative interaction of two-color laser pulses with MgO crystal in the strong-field regime to generate isolated attosecond pulses from high-harmonic ...
Semantic richness, semantic context, and language learning
(2021-07-21)
Sabemos que haber adquirido una segunda lengua con una exposición limitada y artificial hace que el aprendizaje de nueva información y vocabulario en ese idioma sea particularmente difícil. El propósito de esta tesis es ...
On p-Form Gauge Theories and their Conformal Limits
(Springer, 2021-03-02)
Relations between the various formulations of nonlinear p-form electrodynamics with conformal-invariant weak-field and strong-field limits are clarified, with a focus on duality invariant (2n - 1)-form electrodynamics and ...
Astrocytes in Alzheimer’s Disease: Pathological Significance and Molecular Pathways
(MDPI, 2021-03-04)
Astrocytes perform a wide variety of essential functions defining normal operation of the nervous system and are active contributors to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s among others. ...
The Promotion of Sustainable Diets in the Healthcare System and Implications for Health Professionals: A Scoping Review
(MDPI, 2021-02-26)
The impacts of the current global food system are already visible in the environment and in the health of the population. The promotion of sustainable diets is key to counter the negative consequences. The healthcare system ...
RNA Localization and Local Translation in Glia in Neurological and Neurodegenerative Diseases: Lessons from Neurons
(MDPI, 2021-03-12)
Cell polarity is crucial for almost every cell in our body to establish distinct structural and functional domains. Polarized cells have an asymmetrical morphology and therefore their proteins need to be asymmetrically ...
Determinants of Corporate Anti-Corruption Disclosure: The Case of the Emerging Economics
(MDPI, 2021-03-20)
Corruption is a key factor that affects countries’ development, with emerging countries being a geographical area in which it tends to generate greater negative effects. However, few empirical studies analyze corruption ...
