Consolidated memories can become destabilized and open to modification upon retrieval. Destabilization is most reliably prompted when novel information present during memory reactivation. We hypothesized that the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) plays an important role in novelty-induced destabilization because of its established involvement new learning. Accordingly, we investigated effects cholinergic manipulations rats using object recognition paradigm requires reactivation novelty...
The preterm cerebellum is vulnerable to impaired development impacting long-term outcome. Preterm newborns (<32 weeks) underwent serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. association between parental education and cerebellar volume at each time point was assessed, adjusting for age scan. In 26 infants, volumes term ( P = .001), but not birth .4), were associated with 2-year volumes. For 1 cm 3 smaller (4% total volume) term, the 3.18 (3% by 2 years. Maternal postsecondary .16). a...
Objectives: The elaborate morphometry of the human trapezius muscle facilitates its involvement in numerous active movements shoulder girdle and passive stabilization upper extremity. Despite functional importance throughout lifespan, little is known about 3D architecture at any post-natal timepoints. Accordingly, aim this preliminary cadaveric study was to digitize, quantify, model, compare two temporal extremes: infancy adulthood. Methods: We examined female formalin-embalmed cadavers,...
Abstract: Varicella zoster virus (VZV) can cause chickenpox (varicella zoster) and shingles (herpes zoster). Herpes affect cranial nerves but rarely impacts the glossopharyngeal nerve (GN) in isolation. We present a literature review examining primary research—published between 2012 2022—reporting herpes affecting GN, while also reporting case of 57-year-old male who presented to his health physician with unilateral (right-sided) vesicular eruption soft palate severe odynophagia generalised...
Musculoaponeurotic architecture describes the 3D arrangement of contractile and connective tissue elements within a muscle, or functional partitions thereof. Without comprehensive appreciation these features, certainty with which clinicians may interpret musculoskeletal imaging, assess pathology, evaluate recovery associated muscles is inherently restricted. Current musculoaponeurotic literature limited by insufficient fibre bundle (FB) sampling, lack data regarding elements, 2D measurement...
Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) is a relatively new technology in the field of sonography. Even more so, research into musculoskeletal applications SWE its infancy. Despite challenges concerning anisotropic nature muscle tissue, literature suggests that promising medium with which to examine patterns tissue properties morphometrically complex muscles, like trapezius. Tissue can provide valuable insights function and dysfunction. In our laboratory, we have characterized quantified...
Gamification in medical education involves integrating game principles-including mechanics, design, or experiences-into a learning context. Game-based approaches higher have been shown to improve student engagement, motivation, and performance when applied effectively. Many students report feeling overwhelmed by the complexity content-heavy nature of anatomy, making it an ideal subject for gamification. In this project, we developed designed educational anatomy card intended students....
