Visual imagery--similar to visual perception--activates feature-specific and category-specific visual areas. This is frequently observed in experiments where the instruction is to imagine stimuli that have been shown immediately before the imagery task. Hence, feature-specific activation could be related to the short-term memory retrieval of previously presented sensory information. Here, we in...

During functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), our participants selectively attended to tone streams at the left or right, and occasionally shifted their attention from one stream to another as guided by a centrally presented visual cue. Duration changes in the to-be-attended stream served as targets. Loudness deviating tones (LDTs) occurred infrequently in both streams to catch attention...

Abstract Private lands are important for conservation worldwide, but knowledge about their effectiveness is still insufficient. To help fill this gap, we analyzed the impacts of a national policy on private in Brazil, global biodiversity hotspot with high potential nature-based climate solutions. Through evaluation over 4 million rural properties from Rural Environmental Cadastre, found that la...

materials and methods: in order to achieve this, recombinant plasmid harboring antisense sequences targeting both of pta and acka was assembled, after transfecting to the cells, its effects on the cell growth and acetate accumulation in the minimal media was assessed and compared with the control, the plasmid without antisense cassette, in presence and absence of iptg in escherichia coli bl21 (...
