Animal behavior is regulated by environmental stimuli and is shaped by the activity of neural networks, underscoring the importance of assessing the morpho-functional properties of different populations of cells in freely behaving animals.In recent years, a number of optical tools have been developed to monitor and modulate neuronal and glial activ
Philippa D Darbre School of Biological Sciences, University of Reading, Reading, UK Abstract: Over recent years, many environmental pollutant chemicals have been shown to possess the ability to interfere in the functioning of the endocrine system and have been termed endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs).These compounds exist in air as volatile or
The sensory systems of multicellular organisms are Supplies designed to provide information about the environment and thus elicit appropriate changes in physiology and behavior.In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, sensory neurons affect the decision to arrest during development in a diapause state, the dauer larva, and modulate the lifespan of t
This study introduces an innovative analytical methodology for examining the interconnections among the atmosphere, ocean, and society.The primary area of interest pertains to the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), a notable phenomenon characterised by daily to decadal fluctuations in atmospheric conditions over the Northern Hemisphere.The NAO has a
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The importance of minimizing the exaggerated sympatho-adrenergic responses and QT interval and QT interval dispersion changes that may develop due to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation during anesthesia induction in the hypertensive patients is clear.Esmolol decreases the hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubat
