We tested this hypothesis by giving rats a 3-min unsupervised experience with four odors and measuring retention after different delays. Animals recognized that a novel element had been introduced to the odor set at 24 but not 48 h. PDD00017273…[Read more]

The accuracy of the proposed method was verified from various treadmill walking tests, which showed that the total travel displacement error rate was 0.32% on average.A patient’s survival may depend on several known and unknown factors and it may also vary spatially across a region. Socioeconomic status, accessibility to healthcare and other…[Read more]
