Differentiating sensitivity of post-stimulus undershoot under diffusion weighting: implication of vascular and neuronal hierarchy.
(PLoS One, 2008-08-13)
The widely used blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal during brain activation,
as measured in typical fMRI methods, is composed of several distinct phases, the last
of which, and perhaps the least understood, is ...
Neuropeptide Y gene polymorphisms confer risk of early-onset atherosclerosis.
(PLoS Genet, 2009-01)
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a strong candidate gene for coronary artery disease (CAD).
We have previously identified genetic linkage to familial CAD in the genomic region
of NPY. We performed follow-up genetic, biostatistical, ...
Brain activity during episodic retrieval of autobiographical and laboratory events: an fMRI study using a novel photo paradigm.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2004-11)
Functional neuroimaging studies of episodic memory retrieval generally measure brain
activity while participants remember items encountered in the laboratory ("controlled
laboratory condition") or events from their own life ...
Co-activation of the amygdala, hippocampus and inferior frontal gyrus during autobiographical memory retrieval.
(Neuropsychologia, 2005)
Functional MRI was used to investigate the role of medial temporal lobe and inferior
frontal lobe regions in autobiographical recall. Prior to scanning, participants generated
cue words for 50 autobiographical memories and ...
Genome-wide analyses of exonic copy number variants in a family-based study point to novel autism susceptibility genes.
(PLoS Genet, 2009-06)
The genetics underlying the autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is complex and remains
poorly understood. Previous work has demonstrated an important role for structural
variation in a subset of cases, but has lacked the resolution ...
ARFGAP1 promotes the formation of COPI vesicles, suggesting function as a component of the coat.
(J Cell Biol, 2002-10-14)
The role of GTPase-activating protein (GAP) that deactivates ADP-ribosylation factor
1 (ARF1) during the formation of coat protein I (COPI) vesicles has been unclear.
GAP is originally thought to antagonize vesicle formation ...
Facets of personality and the phenomenology of autobiographical memory
(Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2004-11-01)
The relationship between individual differences in autobiographical memory and personality
was examined by having 118 undergraduates complete the NEO Personality Inventory after
rating 15 word-cued autobiographical memories ...
Diesel exhaust particles activate the matrix-metalloproteinase-1 gene in human bronchial epithelia in a beta-arrestin-dependent manner via activation of RAS.
(Environ Health Perspect, 2009-03)
BACKGROUND: Diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) are globally relevant air pollutants that
exert a detrimental human health impact. However, mechanisms of damage by DEP exposure
to human respiratory health and human susceptibility ...
Do smokers respond to health shocks?
(Review of Economics and Statistics, 2001-11-01)
This paper reports the first effort to use data to evaluate how new information, acquired
through exogenous health shocks, affects people's longevity expectations. We find
that smokers react differently to health shocks ...
The short and long of it: neural correlates of temporal-order memory for autobiographical events.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2008-07)
Previous functional neuroimaging studies of temporal-order memory have investigated
memory for laboratory stimuli that are causally unrelated and poor in sensory detail.
In contrast, the present functional magnetic resonance ...
