Consummatory feeding movements in Aplysia californica are organized by a central pattern generator (CPG) in the buccal ganglia. Buccal motor programs similar to those organized by the CPG are also initiated and controlled by the cerebro-buccal interneurons (CBIs), interneurons projecting from the cerebral to the buccal ganglia. To examine the mechanisms by which CBIs affect buccal motor program...

BackgroundCerebellar ataxia generally results from a lesion disrupting the corticopontocerebellar or cerebellothalamocortical tract. The cerebellar inhibition (CBI) paradigm represents dual-coil transcranial magnetic stimulation protocol that interrogates integrity of latter pathway. Whether CBI has clinical relevance in patients remains largely unknown because associations with pertinent disea...

Global wildfire activities are expected to increase substantially in the near future. Existing techniques for spaceborne burn severity estimation often rely on bi-temporal spectral indices, which related in-situ data. However, due cloud coverage and limited revisit frequency, combination with date of field surveys, it is a challenge find suitable phenologically comparable pre- -post-fire images...

In the sea slug Aplysia, rhythmic biting is eliminated after bilateral cerebral-buccal connective (CBC) crushes and recovers within 14 days postlesion (dpl). The ability of cerebral-buccal interneuron-2 (CBI-2) to elicit ingestion buccal motor programs (iBMPs; i.e., fictive rhythmic ingestion) and to regenerate synaptic connections with target buccal neurons was assessed with intracellular reco...

BACKGROUND Continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) is a long-standing treatment used in the setting of gross hematuria and other acute bladder issues. Its use has traditionally been reserved for patients under direct urologic care, but with the constraints of modern large-hospital healthcare, many patients have CBI administered by providers unfamiliar with its use and potential complications. FIN...

The Eastern Townships (ETR) is a region in Québec (Canada) where the soil is naturally rich in arsenic (As). About a third of the people in the ETR obtain their water from a private well. A quasi-experimental design was used to compare two campaigns designed to promote As screening in well water: a mass-media campaign (MMC) followed or not by a community-based intervention (CBI). The MMC is bas...

OBJECTIVE To review studies involving the use of computer-based interventions (CBI) to improve the social and emotional skills (e.g. emotional recognition) of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). METHODS The use of computer-based intervention (CBI) in the treatment of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) may offer some advantages to traditional one-to-one or group instruction includin...
