introduction: noradrenergic cells in lc participate in the process of cortical activation and behavioral arousal. the evidence suggests that locus ceoruleus (lc) plays an important role in the sleep-wake cycle. the aim of this study was stereological estimation of cavity caused by lesion and assessment of sleep stages after bilateral lesion of the lc. materials and methods: male wistar rats wei...

Introduction: Thesinonasal tract is an area that may be affected by various types of neoplastic lesions with more variety than what is encountered in other parts of the upper airway and food passage.   Case Report: An elderly gentleman of 65 years complained of nose block on both sides for 3 months. On examination, he had firm polypoidal masses arising from the middle me...

present paper is an attempt to estimate the impact of economic and geographic indicators in trade among islamic countries according to a bilateral trade model as gravity model, and study the relationship between economy, geography and trade in this way. fixed effect version of the panel data estimation producer with oic member country data spanning over the 2007–2012. the result of this researc...

Introduction: Estrogen is one of the gonadal hormones that has multiple beneficial actions in central nervous system and involves in learning and memory. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that impairs patient memory. The human nucleus basalis of Meynert (nBM) is severely affected in Alzheimer's disease. So in this study the effect of peripheral (intramuscul...

The evidence suggests that locus ceoruleus (LC) plays an important role in the sleep-wake cycle. The aim of this study was stereological estimation of cavity caused by lesion and assessment of sleep stages after bilateral lesion of the LC. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats we...

Spatial visual attention in humans and mammals is severely disrupted after deactivation of speci"c cortical or subcortical regions. Such dysfunction has frequently been associated with impaired unilateral cortical mechanisms. Alternatively, I propose that essential mechanisms of spatial attention are based on the bilateral competition between subcortical midbrain structures. Consequently, visuo...
