41 Environmental enrichment induces powerful changes in the adult cerebral cortex. 42 Studies in primary sensory cortex have observed that environmental enrichment 43 modulates neuronal response strength, selectivity, speed of response and 44 synchronization to rapid sensory input. Other reports suggest that non-primary sensory 45 fields are more plastic than primary sensory cortex. The consequ...

heavy metal concentration in the soils and sediments has increased worldwide during the last century due to the mining, smelting, and industrial activities. the forumad chromite deposit is located in the sabzevar ophiolitic complex (soc), with a long history of mining activities, yet very little is known about the heavy metal contamination in its surrounding environment. in this research work, ...

oil and pollutants resulting from its extraction and exploitation are considered as one of the serious problems for human health. vast oil fields of ahvaz city located in southern iran are known as one of controversial subjects in contamination with heavy metals. in this study, oil fields' soils of ahvaz city (ab-teymour) were chemically analyzed in order to determine the concentration of eight...
