Physiological knowledge of the neural mechanisms regulating sleep and wakefulness has been advanced by the recent findings concerning sleep/wakefulness-related preoptic/anterior hypothalamic and perifornical (orexin-containing)/posterior hypothalamic neurons. In this paper, we propose a mathematical model of the mechanisms orchestrating a quartet neural system of sleep and wakefulness composed ...

BACKGROUND Auditory discrimination is significantly impaired in Wernicke's aphasia (WA) and thought to be causatively related to the language comprehension impairment which characterises the condition.

The reproductive system fully develops during postnatal stages of life, and as such it may be susceptible to environmental cues such as high temperature. Thus, the purpose of the study was to compare how exposure to 34 degrees Celsius ambient temperature affects pituitary-gonadal axis of immature and adult female rats. Three groups of females at proestrous or metaestrous (n=38) were used in the...
