Surgery is a high-stakes "performance." Yet, unlike athletes or musicians, surgeons do not engage in routine "warm-up" exercises before "performing" the operating room. We study impact of preoperative warm-up exercise (POWER) on surgeon performance during laparoscopic surgery.Serving as their own controls, each subject performed two pairs cases, pair consisting one case with POWER (+POWER) and without (-POWER). Subjects were randomly assigned to +POWER -POWER for initial pairing, all cases ≥...
The entorhinal cortex (EC) is a critical brain area for memory formation, while also the region exhibiting earliest histological and functional alterations in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). EC thus has been long hypothesized as one of originating areas AD pathophysiology, although circuit mechanisms causing its selective vulnerability remain poorly understood. We found that dopamine neurons projecting their axons to lateral (LEC), formation healthy brains, become dysfunctional cause impairments...
