Acquiring the significance of events based on reward-related information is critical for animals to survive and to conduct social activities. The importance of the perirhinal cortex for reward-related information processing has been suggested. To examine whether or not neurons in this cortex represent reward information flexibly when a visual stimulus indicates either a rewarded or unrewarded o...

We compared single-cell activities in perirhinal cortex (PRh) as well as adjacent visual cortex (area TE) across two tasks. One task required the monkey to identify any stimulus repetition within a sequence of object stimuli. In the other task, the same stimuli were presented, but the monkey didn't have to remember them. PRh responses during the object-memory task were elevated relative to thos...

The word “Layers” refers to the deferent layers within a communications system—such as an organization’s or person’s website—that together make communication possible. The idea of “Layers” is attributed to Yochai Benkler, Professor of Law at New York University, who first used it to describe a communications system that is divided in three distinct layers: 1. The “physical” layer across which c...

A benchmark contamination rate for prefilled syringe compounding was determined by using a medium-fill-simulation method. One thousand thirty-five 1-mL tuberculin syringes were aseptically filled with 0.9 mL of sterile soybean-casein digest medium and capped. These syringes were placed into clear nonsterile plastic bags and incubated at 35 degrees C for seven days, then inspected for cloudiness...

18 Objectives: To monitor the stability of rifampicin (RIF) in Löwenstein-Jensen medium (L-J 19 medium) and 7H9 broth, which are the commonly used media for drug susceptibility testing (DST) 20 for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Methods: Rifampicin degradation in stock solution, 7H9 broth, 21 L-J medium, and during the inspissation process for L-J medium preparation was serially 22 monitored by hi...

Abstract Background The data on medium-term follow-up of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pneumonia survivors is scarce. Medium-term will generate knowledge and help in devising a structured plan to facilitate enrolment clinical trials assessing the role antifibrotic drugs modifying course disease order avert long-term pulmonary sequelae disease. study was aimed evaluate lung findings (3 month...
