Background and Objective: 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and anandamide (AEA) are two major endocannabinoids. Using inhibitors of the enzymatic pathways involved in the elimination of 2-AG and AEA as well as synthetic 2-AG, we examined the effectiveness of these endocannabinoids on epileptiform activity induced in Wistar rats by pentylenetetrazol (PTZ). Material and Methods: Adult male Wistar r...

Neutral atom arrays are a rapidly developing platform for quantum science. In this work, we demonstrate universal set of gate operations on new type neutral qubit: nuclear spin in an alkaline earth-like (AEA), $^{171}$Yb. We present techniques cooling, trapping and imaging using newly discovered magic wavelength at $\lambda = 486.78$ nm. implement qubit initialization, readout, single-qubit gat...

Certain fatty acid amides such as anandamide (AEA) and olvanil are agonists for the transient receptor potential, vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) receptor, but have been found to activate TRPV1-containing C-fibers in some tissues but not others. We used extracellular recording and whole-cell patch clamp techniques to investigate the effect of olvanil and AEA on different types of vagal C-fibers innervating...

Since its inception in 1971, the American Economic Association (AEA) Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession (CSWEP) has tracked the number of women at various ranks in the profession. CSWEP’s statistics indicate a “leaky pipeline” from PhD programs into tenured academic jobs. The significant underrepresentation of women in economics at the tenured level prompted CSWEP to e...

background: the most common neurologic manifestation of gluten sensitivity is ataxia, which accounts for up to 40% of idiopathic sporadic ataxia. timing of diagnosis of gluten ataxia is vital as it is one of the very few treatable causes of sporadic ataxia and causes irreversible loss of purkinje cells. antigliadin antibody (aga) of the igg type is the best marker for neurological manifestation...
