In the present study, we have characterized the reactivity of two mAbs that are directed at the human TCR-gamma/delta. These reagents, designated anti-A13 and anti-TiV delta 2, were found to recognize antigenic determinants encoded by the TCR V delta 1 and V delta 2 gene segments, respectively. Immunofluorescence analyses performed with the antibodies confirmed that, in the TCR-gamma/delta+ cel...

This paper discusses the idea that John Stuart Mill supported two intellectual positions which are considered to be contradictory. On one hand, he proposed a radical empiricist epistemology in his System of Logic. other defended David Ricardo’s Political Economy, fairly criticized its time from an empirical point view. argues there is no internal contradiction Mill, as believes method used Econ...

Several findings have indicated an involvement of dopamine in panic and defensive behaviors. The dorsolateral column of the periaqueductal gray (dlPAG) is crucially involved in the expression of panic attacks in humans and defensive behaviors, also referred to as panic-like behaviors, in animals. Although the dlPAG is known to receive a specific innervation of dopaminergic fibers and abundantly...

This paper deals with hyperbolic discounting in a macro context. Time consistency is discussed in terms of rational behavior and rational expectations. The theory is applied to the intertemporal consumption decision in order to explain undersaving in an economy. Moreover, possible implications on policy makers’ decisions on reforms and budget deficits are evinced. Finally, the Ricardian equival...

Mutations in the aristaless-related homeobox (ARX) gene result in a spectrum of structural and functional nervous system disorders including lissencephaly, movement disorders, intellectual disabilities, and epilepsy. Some patients also have symptoms indicating hypothalamic dysfunction, but little is known about the role of ARX in diencephalic development. To begin evaluating diencephalic defect...
