THE EFFECTS OF WORKING MEMORY TRAINING ON THE FUNCTIONAL SPECIALIZATION OF THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX
… performance of working memory tasks; however the functional specialization of this area has been debated. Several studies have identified differences in stimulus property selectivity along the dorsal-ventral axis. Additionally, a proposed anterior-posterior axis of selectivity where anterior …

Functional specialization of Arabidopsis poly(A) polymerases in relation to flowering time and stress
… cPAP isoform PAPS1 (Vi et al. 2013). Thus, the specialization of cPAPs might allow the regulation of different sets of genes in order to optimally face developmental or environmental challenges. To gain insights into the cPAP-based gene regulation in plants, the phenotypes of Arabidopsis cPAPs …

ALTERNATIVE SPLICING AND PHOSPHORYLATION PROVIDE A MECHANISTIC BASIS FOR FUNCTIONAL SPECIALIZATION OF LSD1/KDM1 HISTONE DEMETHYLASE IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
… development. The neuro-specific variants, whose functional diversification partly relies on the phosphorylation status, contribute to the acquisition of neurite morphology in an exclusive way. The expression of LSD1 splice variants is particularly regulated during perinatal stages, with a …

Strategic Management and Financial Performance in South Korean Apparel Retail Stores
… structure (centralization, formalization, specialization), and satisfaction with store performance (relative to other Korean retail stores, relative to key competitors). Many of the hypotheses were supported. Perceived market turbulence positively affected stores' market-orientation …

DEVELOPMENT OF INDIVIDUAL VARIABILITY IN FUNCTIONAL CONNECTIVITY AND ITS ASSOCIATIONS WITH COGNITION AND PSYCHOPATHOLOGY IN YOUTH
… adolescents. Individual differences in brain functional connectivity (FC) have been used for cognitive performance prediction and mental health risk calculation. However, the interindividual FC variability during adolescence is still uncharacterized. Leveraging large population neuroimaging …

Examination of the phenotypic impacts of Helicobacter pylori diversification within a single host
… In our analysis we examined both genetic and functional features of many stomach isolates from a single individual infected over six years. During these six years the subject shifted from having excess acid production and a duodenal ulcer to lower acid production from gastric atrophy. The 39 …

Extinction of Chromosomes due to Specialization is a Universal Occurrence
… with reduced recombination. The remaining functional genes are ubiquitously expressed, functionally coherent, dosage-sensitive genes, or have evolved male-specific functionality. It is unknown, however, whether functional specialization is a degenerative phenomenon unique to sex …

The Development of the Functional Dissociation of Perception and Action
… and interact with the world, utilizing two functionally distinct cortical pathways: the ventral pathway, responsible for visual perception, and the dorsal pathway, which supports visuomotor actions. While the functional dissociation between these behaviours has been extensively studied in …

Professionals and governance: juggling actors in the reform of the Cambodian administration
… investment on the other. However, due to their functional specialization and expertise, professionals in Cambodia are marginalized from the overall socio-political changes in their environment. This has led to the reduction of their possibilities to communicate and organize effectively. Instead, …

The role of language in broader human cognition: evidence from neuroscience
… neuroscience to test the limits of the brain’s functional specialization for language processing. In Chapter 1, I describe how evidence from neuroscience can illuminate the relationship between language and other cognitive functions. In Chapter 2, I investigate activity in the brain’s language …

Chemical education and the chemical industry in England from the mid-nineteenth to the early twentieth century
… routes into managerial positions rather than functional specialization and bureaucracies. A class of technically-trained routine analysts was created. The growth of chemical engineering as academic field and occupation is examined. The roles of academics and industrialists in conceptualizing …

Impact of Noise and Spike Initiation Properties on the Encoding and Transmission of Neural Information
… expression of ion channels, supporting functional specialization of neuronal compartments. Specifically, low-threshold potassium channels (Kv1) cause the axon to behave as a high-pass filter, enabling high fidelity transmission of spike-based information so that the axon selectively …

Atypical Lateralization of Language and Face Processing in Autism Spectrum Disorder
… motivating the final analysis of intrinsic functional connectivity between category-related brain regions. The findings from the meta-analysis, task-related fMRI analyses, and RSFC analysis of intrinsic functional connectivity converged, demonstrating that ASD is indeed related to reduced …

A Mechanism for Spatial Orientation Based on Sensory Adaptation in Caenorhabditis Elegans
… encountered in shallow gradients, demonstrating functional specialization amongst sensory neurons for stimulus characteristics. This work sheds light on an algorithm underlying acute behavioral computation and its biological implementation. The experimental results are presented in two parts: …

Dependence of Visuomotor Behavior on Individual Layers of the Cat Lateral Geniculate Nucleus in the Normal Brain and Following Recovery From Destruction of Individual Layers
… work is that behavioral results regarding the functional specialization of parvocellular and magnocellular pathways following LGN lesions in the monkey may underestimate the true functional independence of these pathways. Supported by NIH grant EY02695."

New evidence of functional interactions within the hand motor system
… of information between anatomically distant, but functionally interconnected, cerebral areas. In light of the most recent neuroscientific advance in the field of motor control, we investigated the specific role of the cerebral areas of the motor system and their functional interactions during the …

A computational approach to understanding maternal influences on the development of ruminant neonates
… infectious diseases. Despite these critical functional roles, common colostrum management practices in livestock production systems, such as refrigeration, freezing, and pasteurization, often have an adverse impact on maternal cell viability, thereby diminishing their long-term immune …
