It is now well established that vestibular information plays an important role in spatial memory processes. Although vestibular lesions induce anxiety in humans, this finding remains controversial in rodents. However, it is possible that anxiety-related behavior is associated with spatial memory impairments after vestibular lesions. We aimed to evaluate anxiety-like behavior and the effect of a...

The human posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is widely believed to subserve visually guided spatial behavior, including the control of visual attention, eye movements, and reaching. To explore the generality of this function, we measured human brain activity using functional magnetic resonance imaging during spatial and nonspatial shifts of auditory attention. Both spatial and nonspatial shifts of...

the main objective of this study was to investigate how months cluster in any thermal regions based on temperature. for this purpose, the mean of daily temperature data have been provided using 620 synoptic and climatology stations. then, mean temperature was converted for any station, based on solar calendar, and maps of mean daily temperature have been interpolated using kriging method. spati...

We propose both spatial and non-spatial stochastic models for pathogen dynamics in the presence of an immune response. One of our spatial models shows that, at least in theory, a pathogen may escape the immune system thanks to its high mutation probability alone. While one of our non-spatial models also exhibits this behavior, another behaves quite differently from the corresponding spatial model.

Social behaviors are crucial to all mammals. Although the prelimbic cortex (PL, part of medial prefrontal cortex) has been implicated in social behavior, it is not clear which neurons are relevant or how they contribute. We found that PL contains anatomically and molecularly distinct subpopulations that target three downstream regions that have been implicated in social behavior: the nucleus ac...

The increasing use of mobile phones by teenagers has raised concern about the cognitive effects of radiofrequency (RF) fields. In this study, we investigated the effects of 4-week exposure to a 1.8 GHz RF field on the emotional behavior and spatial memory of adolescent male mice. Anxiety-like behavior was evaluated by open field test (OFT) and elevated plus maze (EPM) test, while depression-lik...
