Nociception, warning of injury that should be avoided, serves an important protective function in animals. In this study, we show adult Drosophila avoids noxious heat by a jump response. To quantitatively analyze nociceptive behavior, developed two assays. the CO2 laser beam assay, flies exhibit behavior when heats their abdomens. The consistency latency assay meets criterion for good assay. hot plate quickly to escape from copper (>45 degrees C). Our results demonstrate that, as mammals,...
AimsEndothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a pivotal role in endothelial repair after artery injury. The chemokine receptor CXCR4 is key modulator of the homing EPCs to impaired and reendothelialization. In this study, we addressed hypothesis that gene transfer could enhance reendothelialization capacity EPCs.
Irony comprehension is challenging for both individuals with ASD and poor comprehenders (PCs). We aimed to examine the common specific mechanisms underlying irony difficulty in two populations. Both adolescents PC showed lower performance than an age-matched typical control group (TD). The also deficits theory of mind (ToM), while impairments structural language skills. In brain, reduced brain activation left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) compared TD group, suggesting ASD-specific...
