Both groups of adolescents reported similar increases in distress after being excluded in a virtual ball-tossing game (Cybe...
متن کاملHeightened nicotinic regulation of auditory cortex during adolescence.
Adolescent smoking is associated with auditory-cognitive deficits and structural alterations to auditory thalamocortical systems, suggesting that higher auditory function is vulnerable to nicotine exposure during adolescence. Although nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) regulate thalamocortical processing in adults, it is not known whether they regulate processing at earlier ages since t...
متن کاملSour Grapes
In most prokaryotes Asn-tRNA and Gln-tRNA are formed by amidation of aspartate and glutamate mischarged onto tRNA and tRNA, respectively. Coexistence in the organism of mischarged Asp-tRNA and Glu-tRNA and the homologous Asn-tRNA and Gln-tRNA does not, however, lead to erroneous incorporation of Asp and Glu into proteins, since EF-Tu discriminates the misacylated tRNAs from the correctly charge...
