The application of microwaves to synthetic organic chemistry is currently experiencing
considerable growth. Here we show how the area of radiochemistry, with particular reference to …

The increasing amount of clinically relevant information obtained by positron emission
tomography (PET), primarily with fluorine-18 labelled 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-d-glucose, has generated …

It has previously been suggested that the activity in sensory regions of the brain can be
modulated by attentional mechanisms during parallel cognitive processing. To investigate …

This study was undertaken to explore whether the neural substrates demonstrated in brain
imaging studies on experimentally induced pain are involved in the perception of chronic …

Learning a specific skill during childhood may partly determine the functional organization
of the adult brain. This hypothesis led us to study oral language processing in illiterate …

BACKGROUND: Dynamic biomedical research is currently yielding a wealth of information
about disease-associated molecular alterations on cell surfaces and in the extracellular space…

The vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are major angiogenic regulators and are
involved in several aspects of endothelial cell physiology 1 . However, the detailed role of …

• Several groups have reported increased densities of D 2 dopamine receptors in the basal
ganglia of schizophrenic brains postmortem. The significance of this finding has been …

Previous studies have shown that sensory stimulation and voluntary motor activity increase
regional cerebral glucose consumption and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). The present …

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is rapidly increasing, with severe socioeconomic impacts
1 , 2 . Excess lipid deposition in peripheral tissues impairs insulin sensitivity and glucose …
