A baseline or control state is fundamental to the understanding of most complex systems. Defining a baseline state in the human brain, arguably our most complex system, poses a particular challenge.… (More)
Practice of a novel task leads to improved performance. The brain mechanisms associated with practice-induced improvement in performance are largely unknown. To address this question we have examined… (More)
Alpha5IA is a compound that binds with equivalent subnanomolar affinity to the benzodiazepine (BZ) site of GABA(A) receptors containing an alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, or alpha5 subunit but has inverse… (More)
We used positron emission tomography to study cortical regions mediating tactile attention. Cues selectively directed subjects to attend to the roughness or duration of contact with embossed gratings… (More)
Somatosensory representations occupy parietal postcentral gyral (S1) and lateral sulcal-opercular cortex (S2). To address the issue of possible multiple activation foci in these regions and possible… (More)
5IA is a compound that binds with equivalent subnanomolar affinity to the benzodiazepine (BZ) site of GABAA receptors containing an 1, 2, 3, or 5 subunit but has inverse agonist efficacy selective… (More)
Very stable, high quality electron beams (current ∼ 10 kA, energy spread < 1%, emittance ∼ 1π mm mrad) have been generated in a laser-plasma accelerator driven by 25 TW… (More)
BACKGROUND
Renal replacement therapy (RRT) for acute renal failure (ARF) can be applied intermittently (IRRT) or continuously (CRRT). It has been suggested that CRRT has several advantages over IRRT… (More)
These studies have compared the pharmacological profile of two non-peptide human type neurokinin1 (hNK1) receptor selective antagonists, L-741,671 and a quaternised compound L-743,310. In radioligand… (More)
Factors influencing referral of all 304 patients who developed persistent renal failure during one year were studied in the stable Grampian population. The annual incidence of chronic renal failure… (More)
