Decision making can be conceptualized as the culmination of an integrative process in which evidence supporting different response options accumulates gradually over time. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to …more
Pavlovian to Instrumental Transfer (PIT) refers to the behavioral phenomenon of increased instrumental responding for a reinforcer when in the presence of Pavlovian conditioned stimuli that were separately paired with …more
Selective atrophy of the amygdala in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) gives rise to expectations of impaired emotional processing and recognition. We investigated this prediction with two tasks designed to tap emotional …more
We present an empirical comparison of cluster extent and maximal voxel results in a voxel-based morphometry (VBM) study of brain structure. The cluster extents are adjusted for underlying deviation from …more
Lipase-catalysed (trans)esterification reactions in homogenous per-fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon solvents enabled direct enantiomeric partitioning (up to 95% ee) of the products by liquid-liquid separation.
gamma-Aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (GABA-AT), a pyridoxal 5′-phosphate dependent enzyme, catalyzes the degradation of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) to succinic semialdehyde with concomitant conversion of pyridoxal, 5′-phosphate (PLP) to …more
The putative aglycone of pseudopterosin G-J and its enantiomer were synthesised enantio specifically from 2,3-dimethoxytoluene and eta (3)-allyl cationic complexes of molybdenum and iron respectively. The A –> AB –> …more
Background Endovascular treatment (angioplasty with or without stenting) is an alternative to carotid endarterectomy for carotid artery stenosis but there are scarce long-term efficacy data showing that it prevents stroke. …more
Organofluorine compounds play an important role in medicinal chemistry, where they are responsible for up to 15% of the pharmaceutical products oil the market, While natural products are Valuable sources …more
