Rearrangement and in most cases expression of the T cell rearranging genes gamma (TRG gamma) and T cell antigen receptor beta chain (TCR beta) genes were studied in 19 cases of T cell acute malignancies where the surface phenotype is representative of the different stages of thymic maturation. TCR alpha gene transcription was also studied. TRG gamma and TCR beta genes were found to be rearrange...

We have used angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to determine the bulk electronic structure of Sr(2)RuO(4) above and below the Fermi liquid crossover near 25 K. Our measurements indicate that the properties of the system are highly orbital dependent. The quasi-2D gamma band displays Fermi liquid behavior while the remaining low energy bands show exotic properties consistent with quasi-1D ...

We investigate the extent to which functional circuits coupling cortical and subthalamic activity are multiple and segregated by frequency in untreated Parkinson's disease (PD). To this end, we recorded EEG and local field potentials (LFPs) from macroelectrodes inserted into the subthalamic nucleus area (SA) in nine awake patients following functional neurosurgery for PD. Patients were studied ...

HEN ONE EMPLOYS the classic method for staining lipoproteins after separation by paper electrophoresis (3, 4) one encounters difficulties in attempting to evaluate the alpha and beta bands. These problems are manifested in: 1. detection of alpha lipoprotein present, 2. problems of elution, and 3. the inability to scan strips on a photoelectric scanner. The disadvantage in using postelectrophore...

There is growing evidence that several components of the mass neural activity contributing to the local field potential (LFP) can be partly separated by decomposing the LFP into nonoverlapping frequency bands. Although the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal has been found to correlate preferentially with specific frequency bands of the LFP, it is still unclear whether the BOLD signal re...

Oscillatory synchronization facilitates communication in neuronal networks and is intimately associated with human cognition. Neuronal activity in the human brain can be non-invasively imaged with magneto- (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG), but the large-scale structure of synchronized cortical networks supporting cognitive processing has remained uncharacterized. We combined simultaneous ...

A motion trajectory prediction (MTP) based brain-computer interface (BCI) aims to reconstruct the three-dimensional (3D) trajectory of upper limb movement using electroencephalography (EEG). The most common MTP BCI employs a time-series of band-pass filtered EEG potential (referred to here as the potential time-series (PTS) model) for reconstructing the trajectory of a 3D limb movement using mu...

Two discrete populations of very low density lipoproteins, with fast and slow pre-beta electrophoretic mobility, were found in 50% of normolipemic and 30% of hyperlipemic individuals selected at random. The two populations were isolated by preparative electrophoresis from five hyperlipemic subjects. The particles comprising the slow component were smaller than those of the fast component and th...
