background and aims: the latency-associated transcript (lat) transcribed by latent herpes simplex virus type-1 in neuron cells are able to influence their host cell pathways. while the most of previous studies were focused on anti-apoptotic effects of lat, our investigation is making an effort to explore lat potency on cell cycle pathway in neuroblastoma cell lines. methods: the evaluation of l...

background and aim: this study investigated whether objective temporal processing paradigms including voice-onset-time, speech-in-noise, and amplitude modulated-broad-band noise (am-bbn) are sensitive to disrupted temporal processing in elderly listeners with normal hearing (age-related-temporal processing deficit). methods: we evaluated 15 adults aged 64–80 years using behavioural measures of ...

background naming is a simple and basic skill of the language which involves semantic, lexical, and phonological levels. there are many different factors affecting the speed and convenience of naming. one of these factors is the word age of acquisition (aoa) and since language processing occurs at an extremely fast rate, psycholinguistics needs a method that has very good temporal resolution. t...

it is more than a decade since scientists are making use of sympathetic skin response (ssr) as a clinical and research method to evaluate sympathetic nervous system. a major portion of the efferent pathway of this response is composed of non-myelinated nerves. thus, the latency of the response may be significantly different in normal individuals with different height and limb lengths. this stud...

In the female red-sided garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis), the loss of receptivity following intromission during mating can be prevented by injection of a local anesthetic (tetracaine) in the cloacal region prior to courtship and mating. Females that were courted and then mated had significantly higher uptake of radio-labeled [14C]2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) in the preoptic area ...

Data obtained, using a polygraphic technique, on the characteristics of the motor and genital copulatory responses of male rabbits, rats, mice, hamsters, and guinea pigs are reviewed. This methodology provided detailed information, not accessible to other analyses, on the frequency and dynamic organization of copulatory pelvic thrusting trains of the species studied. This comparative analysis s...
