Deep brain stimulation (DBS) represents an important treatment modality for movement disorders and other circuitopathies. Despite their miniaturization and increasing sophistication, DBS systems share a common set of ...

The identification of alternative substrates suitable for seedling production is very important, while boron nutrition is also relevant due to plant requirement and its difficult management. Thus, four experiments were ...

Background: Subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG) deep brain stimulation (DBS) is being investigated as a treatment for major depression. We report on the effects of ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) DBS in rats, focusing ...

BACKGROUND: Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI can be screened by measuring the lysosomal arylsulfatase B (ARSB) residual enzyme activity in dried blood spots (DBS) using synthetic substrates. However, we have found experimental ...

The inferior colliculus (IC) plays an important role in the normal processing of the acoustic message and is also involved in the filtering of acoustic stimuli of aversive nature. the neural substrate of the IC can also ...

This review describes the wake/sleep symptoms present in Parkinson׳s disease, and the role of the pedunculopontine nucleus in these symptoms. The physiology of PPN cells is important not only because it is a major element ...

The deformation of porous sandstones present in sedimentary basins can result in nucleation of structures like deformation bands (Dbs). Such structures, formed due to localized deformation, are very common in the sandstones ...
