Shape and Rule Information Is Reflected in Different Local Field Potential Frequencies and Different Areas of the Primate Lateral Prefrontal Cortex
The lateral prefrontal cortex (LFPC) plays a crucial role in executive function by adaptively storing behavior-relevant information as working memory.Neural mechanisms associated with local field potentials (LFPs) may underlie the adaptive properties of the LFPC.Here, we analyzed how LFPs recorded from the monkey LFPC are modulated by the crucial f
Emerging concepts in heart failure management and treatment: focus on tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy
Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy is an entity characterized by reversible dysfunction of the left ventricle, which can be induced by different types of arrhythmia such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, incessant supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular arrhythmia (more frequent causes).Correct identification of the causative arrhythmia
Specialty COPD care during COVID-19: patient and clinician perspectives on remote delivery
Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted specialty chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) care.We examined the degree to which care has moved to remote approaches, eliciting clinician and patient perspectives on what is appropriate for ongoing remote delivery.Methods Using an online research platform, we conducted a survey and consensu
Ethnobotanical survey of plants used in cancer therapy in Iwo and Ibadan, South-Western of Nigeria
Context: The increase in cancer morbidity and mortality, as well as high cost and adverse effects of the available cancer therapies, necessitate the need for the discovery of new and safe anticancer agents.Many medicinal plants, which have served as sources of beneficial drugs were revealed through an ethnobotanical survey.Aims: To reveal and docum
