EFFECTS OF CEREBELLAR TRANSCRANIAL DIRECT CURRENT STIMULATION ON UPPER LIMB MOTOR FUNCTION AFTER STROKE: STUDY PROTOCOL FOR THE PILOT OF A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Abstract Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a technique that can noninvasively modulate neural states in a targeted brain region.As cerebellar activity levels are associated with upper limb motor improvement after stroke, the cerebellum is a plausible target of tDCS.However, the effect of tDCS remains unclear.Here, we desi

Abstract Background Over the years, a number of reports have revealed that Ty1 integration occurs in a 1-kb window upstream of Pol III-transcribed genes with an approximate 80-bp periodicity between each integration hotspot and that this targeting requires active Pol III transcription at the site of integration.However, the molecular bases of Ty1 t

BACKGROUND:The precision of the metaphase-anaphase transition ensures stable genetic inheritance.The spindle checkpoint blocks anaphase onset until the last chromosome biorients at metaphase plate, then the bonds between sister chromatids are removed and disjoined chromatids segregate to the spindle poles.But, how sister separation is triggered Hor

The discovery of an isolated juvenile tooth of an extinct lamnid shark Cosmopolitodus hastalis Tourniquets (Agassiz, 1843) from the Duho Formation (middle Miocene), Pohang City, South Korea.This tooth is approximately 11 mm in crown height, suggesting a juvenile affinity of an individual this tooth originated.In life, the shark is estimated to have
