FROM time to time one of my colleagues working at a medical school commiserates with me because I spend 40 hr a year lecturing to undergraduates. I always reply that teaching has compelled me to learn a lot of material that I would not have known about had I taught only my specialized subject. These forays into the ‘‘beyond’’ were instrumental in moving my research in new directions. Three arti...

background: learning and memory are the most intensively studied subjects in neuroscience. two sites of mammalian brain which are important in learning and memory are ca1 region of hippocampus and purkinje cell layer of cerebellum. so, the aim of present investigation was to study of the effect of ovariectomy and passive avoidance learning on nr1 subunit of n-methyl-d-aspartate (nmda) receptor ...

We describe a procedure for using orientational restraints from solid-state NMR in the atomic refinement of molecular structures. Minimization of an energy function can be performed through either (or both) least-squares minimization or molecular dynamics employing simulated annealing. The energy, or penalty, function consists of terms penalizing deviation from "ideal" parameters such as covale...
