Neuro-oncology is a rapidly growing field concerned with scientific developments and clinical applications related to neuroscience, neuropsychology, cancer and oncology. Neuro-oncological disorders include cancers that ...
Reelin-Related Neurological Disorders and Animal Models
(2017)
The Reeler mutation was so named because of the alterations in gait that characterize homozygous mice. Several decades after the description of the Reeler phenotype, the mutated protein was discovered and named Reelin ...
Reduction of Environmental Distraction to Facilitate Cognitive Performance
(2015)
When faced with a difficult task, people often look at the sky or close their eyes. This behavior is functional: the reduction of distractions in the environment can improve performance on cognitive tasks, including memory ...
Reducing Oral Health Disparities: What Can We Learn from Social; Environmental and Cultural Factors?
