Abstract

The anterograde tracer Phaseolus vulgaris-leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) was used to study the distribution and density of the projections that originate from four identified subdivisions of the pericruciate cortex (namely, the forelimb and hind limb representations of area 4, area 6a beta, and area 6a gamma) and that terminate in the pontomedullary brainstem in the cat. Injections of PHA-L in all areas of the pericruciate cortex labelled numerous fibers and their terminal swellings in the brainstem. The major target regions of all four cortical areas were the pontine nuclei and the pontomedullary reticular formation (PMRF). Injections into both the forelimb and hind limb representations of area 4 and into area 6a beta resulted in a dense pattern of terminal labelling in restricted regions of the medial and lateral parts of the ipsilateral pontine nuclei. The labelling following the area 6a beta injection was spatially distinct from that seen following the area 4 injections. Injections into the forelimb representation of area 4 as well as into area 6a beta and 6a gamma resulted in the labelling of numerous terminal swellings bilaterally in the PMRF; in contrast, there were few labelled terminal swellings in the PMRF following injectio...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
