Neuronal correlates of metacognition in primate frontal cortex.
(Neuron, 2012-08-09)
Humans are metacognitive: they monitor and control their cognition. Our hypothesis
was that neuronal correlates of metacognition reside in the same brain areas responsible
for cognition, including frontal cortex. Recent ...
Division of labor in frontal eye field neurons during presaccadic remapping of visual receptive fields.
(J Neurophysiol, 2012-10)
Our percept of visual stability across saccadic eye movements may be mediated by presaccadic
remapping. Just before a saccade, neurons that remap become visually responsive at
a future field (FF), which anticipates the saccade ...
Induction of anti-myelin antibodies in EAE and their possible role in demyelination.
(J Neurosci Res, 1991-12)
Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis is characterized by invasion of lymphocytes
and macrophages into the central nervous system resulting in inflammation, edema,
and demyelination. Sera from Lewis rats from 7-95 days ...
Frontal eye field neurons assess visual stability across saccades.
(J Neurosci, 2012-02-22)
The image on the retina may move because the eyes move, or because something in the
visual scene moves. The brain is not fooled by this ambiguity. Even as we make saccades,
we are able to detect whether visual objects remain ...
Genomic size of CENP-A domain is proportional to total alpha satellite array size at human centromeres and expands in cancer cells.
(Chromosome Res, 2011-05)
Human centromeres contain multi-megabase-sized arrays of alpha satellite DNA, a family
of satellite DNA repeats based on a tandemly arranged 171 bp monomer. The centromere-specific
histone protein CENP-A is assembled on ...
Rickettsia rickettsii transmission by a lone star tick, North Carolina.
(Emerg Infect Dis, 2011-05)
Only indirect or circumstantial evidence has been published to support transmission
of Rickettsia rickettsii by Amblyomma americanum (lone star) ticks in North America.
This study provides molecular evidence that A. americanum ...
Enhanced efficacy of enzyme replacement therapy in Pompe disease through mannose-6-phosphate receptor expression in skeletal muscle.
(Mol Genet Metab, 2011-06)
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with acid α-glucosidase has become available for
Pompe disease; however, the response of skeletal muscle, as opposed to the heart,
has been attenuated. The poor response of skeletal muscle ...
Molecular mapping of brain areas involved in parrot vocal communication.
(J Comp Neurol, 2000-03-27)
Auditory and vocal regulation of gene expression occurs in separate discrete regions
of the songbird brain. Here we demonstrate that regulated gene expression also occurs
during vocal communication in a parrot, belonging ...
Selective expression of insulin-like growth factor II in the songbird brain.
(J Neurosci, 1997-09-15)
Neuronal replacement occurs in the forebrain of juvenile and adult songbirds. To address
the molecular processes that govern this replacement, we cloned the zebra finch insulin-like
growth factor II (IGF-II) cDNA, a factor ...
A relationship between behavior, neurotrophin expression, and new neuron survival.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2000-07-18)
The high vocal center (HVC) controls song production in songbirds and sends a projection
to the robust nucleus of the archistriatum (RA) of the descending vocal pathway. HVC
receives new neurons in adulthood. Most of the ...
