Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by brain accumulation of the amyloidpeptide (A ) that triggers a cascade of biochemical and cellular alterations resulting in the clinical phenotype of the disease. While numerous experiments addressed A toxicity, the mechanisms are still not fully understood. The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) binds A and was suggested ...

Under visual guidance, subjects reached for and manipulated an object that varied in weight and surface texture (slipperiness). The manipulatory action was either grasping, lifting, or posting in a slot. The task was constrained or unconstrained with respect to speed, grasp pattern, and contact force. Initiation time (pre-reach), movement time (reach), and post-contact errors were measured, to ...

I first summarize Baltag and Smets’ contribution to this volume, and praise their work. Then I compare the anti-lexicographic plausibility update that they propose to a proposal by Aucher, as an illustration of the difference between a qualitative and a quantitive formulation of updates. I quote Spohn’s original work that is at the root of research in plausibility updates and of the notion of a...

Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, a sustained modest reduction in cerebral blood flow, is associated with damage tomyelinated axons and cognitive decline with ageing. Oligodendrocytes (the myelin producing cells) and their precursor cells(OPCs) may be vulnerable to the effects of hypoperfusion and in some forms of injury OPCs have the potential to respondand repair damage by incre...
