To understand the principles of operation striatum it is critical to elucidate properties main excitatory inputs from cortex and thalamus, as well their ability activate neurons striatum, medium spiny (MSNs). As thalamostriatal projection heterogeneous, we set out isolate study thalamic afferent MSNs using small localized injections adeno-associated virus carrying fusion genes for channelrhodopsin-2 YFP, in either rostral or caudal regions intralaminar nuclei (i.e. central lateral...

Abstract Background Although medical journals endorse reporting guidelines, authors often struggle to find and use the right one for their study type topic. The UK EQUATOR Centre developed GoodReports website direct appropriate guidance. Pilot data suggested that did not improve manuscripts when advised a particular guideline by GoodReports.org at journal submission stage. User feedback checklist format of most guidelines does encourage during manuscript writing. We tested whether providing...

The current study examined the causal relationship between secure and anxious attachment orientations pain sensitivity in a pain-free sample. In double blind repeated measures study, cold pressor task was used to induce acute 95 participants before after priming them with or orientation neutral prime. Measures of threshold, tolerance, catastrophizing intensity were taken. Compared prime, primes resulted higher tolerance threshold. experimental conditions did not differ reported...

Many electronic devices that we use in our daily lives provide inputs need to be processed and integrated by senses. For instance, ringing, vibrating, flashing indicate incoming calls messages smartphones. Whether the presentation of multiple smartphone stimuli simultaneously provides an advantage over processing same presented isolation has not yet been investigated. In this behavioral study examined multisensory between visual (V), tactile (T), auditory (A) produced a smartphone....

James Harwood is the founder of Penelope, an automated tool that checks manuscripts and gives immediate feedback to authors before they submit a journal. It adds comments manuscript, just as real editor might, tells what must fix comply with journal requirements best research practices. He hopes it will make publishing faster easier, whilst also educating about integrity practice.

Abstract Background External randomised pilot trials aim to assess whether a future definitive controlled trial (RCT) is feasible. Pre-specified progression criteria help guide the interpretation of findings decide whether, and how, should be conducted. We aimed examine how researchers report plan in external funding applications submitted NIHR Research for Patient Benefit Programme. Methods conducted cross-sectional study inclusion Stage 1 (outline) corresponding 2 (full) RfPB between July...
