Motor Cortex Microcircuits (Frontiers in Brain Microcircuits Series)
(2015)
How does the motor cortex enable mammals to generate accurate, complex, and purposeful movements? A cubic millimeter of motor cortex contains roughly ~10^5 cells, an amazing ~4 Km of axons and ~0.4 Km of dendrites, somehow ...
Motor Skills and Their Foundational Role for Perceptual, Social, and Cognitive Development
(2017)
Motor skills are a vital part of healthy development and are featured prominently both in physical examinations and in parents’ baby diaries. It has been known for a long time that motor development is critical for children’s ...
Multidrug resistance in Cancer: Pharmacological Strategies from Basic Research to Clinical Issues
(2015)
More than 40 years ago, the observation that doxorubicin-resistant tumor cells were cross-resistant to several structurally different anticancer agents was the first step in the discovery of P-glycoprotein (P-gp). P-gp ...
Modeling Individual Differences in Perceptual Decision Making
(2017)
To deal with the abundant amount of information in the environment in order to achieve our goals, human beings adopt a strategy to accumulate some information and filter out other information to ultimately make decisions. ...
Modeling of Visual Cognition, Body Sense, Motor Control and Their Integrations
(2017)
The interdisciplinary studies between neuroscience and information science have greatly promoted the development of these two fields. The achievements of these studies can help humans understand the essence of biological ...
Modeling the Plankton - Enhancing the Integration of Biological Knowledge and Mechanistic Understanding
(2018)
In light of climate change and allied changes to marine ecosystems, mathematical models have become an important tool to examine processes and predict phenomena from local through to global scales. In recent years model ...
Molecular and Metabolic Mechanisms Associated with Fleshy Fruit Quality
(2017)
Fleshy Fruits are a late acquisition of plant evolution. In addition of protecting the seeds, these specialized organs unique to plants were developed to promote seed dispersal via the contribution of frugivorous animals. ...
Molecular Biology of the Transfer RNA Revisited
(2014)
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are one of the classical non-coding RNAs whose lengths are approximately 70–100 bases. The secondary structure of tRNAs can be represented as the cloverleaf with 4 stems, and the three dimensional ...
Molecular Biology of Bamboo mosaic Virus - A Type Member of the Potexvirus Genus
(2018)
The flexible filamentous plant viruses are responsible for more than half of all agricultural loss worldwide. Potexvirus is one of the two most important flexible filamentous plant viruses. Bamboo mosaic virus (BaMV), a ...
Molecular and Cellular Plant Reproduction
(2017)
Plant reproduction is essential not only for producing offspring but also for increasing crop quality and yield. Moreover, plant reproduction entails complex growth and developmental processes, which provide a variety of ...
Molecular basis of fruit development
(2014)
The fruit is an important plant structure. Not only does it provide a suitable environment for seeds to develop and serve as a vehicle for seed disposal, but it is also an indispensable part of the human diet. Despite its ...
Molecular Chaperones and Neurodegeneration
(2017)
Molecular chaperones or heat-shock proteins (HSPs) play essential roles in safeguarding structural stability and preventing misfolding and aggregation of proteins, and maintaining the proteome functionality in the cell. ...
Monitoring endogenous GPCRs: lessons for drug design
(2015)
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral membrane proteins forming the fourth largest superfamily in the human genome. Many of these receptors play key physiological roles and several pathologies have been associated ...
Monitoring Pathophysiology in the Injured Brain
(2018)
Pathophysiological processes in brain-injured patients can be assessed with an array of methods, with a goal to identify potentially deleterious events, guide treatments and avoid further deterioration. This eBook provides ...
Neural Mechanisms of Perceptual Categorization as Precursors to Speech Perception
(2017)
Perceptual categorization is fundamental to the brain’s remarkable ability to process large amounts of sensory information and efficiently recognize objects including speech. Perceptual categorization is the neural bridge ...
Neural processing of emotion in multimodal settings
(2015)
Our everyday life is characterized by a multitude of emotionally relevant cues that we perceive and communicate via various sensory channels. This does not only encompass the obvious cases of auditory and visual modalities, ...
Neural Masses and Fields: Modelling the Dynamics of Brain Activity
(2015)
Biophysical modelling of brain activity has a long and illustrious history and has recently profited from technological advances that furnish neuroimaging data at an unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution. Neuronal modelling ...
Neural Signal Estimation in the Human Brain
(2016)
The ultimate goal of functional brain imaging is to provide optimal estimates of the neural signals flowing through the long-range and local pathways mediating all behavioral performance and conscious experience. In ...
The Neural Underpinnings of Vicarious Experience
(2014)
Everyday we vicariously experience a range of states that we observe in other people: we may "feel" embarrassed when witnessing another making a social faux pas, or we may feel sadness when we see a loved one upset. In ...
Neural Mechanisms Underlying Movement-Based Embodied Contemplative Practices
(2016)
Relative to the extensive neuroscientific work on seated meditation practices, far less studies have investigated the neural mechanisms underlying movement-based contemplative practices such as yoga or tai chi. Movement-based ...
