A study published in Current Biology used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri) of the brains of three to seven month old infants to assess brain activity in relationship to sound.

The current study investigated the survival and, just as importantly, the functional status in patients with refractory cardiac arrest brought to the hospital with ongoing CPR and treated conservatively without the support of extracorporeal life systems.

However, in the current study, when the investigators used mutant bacteria that could not make functional pili and flagella, the bacteria could still infect the mice.

In the current study, Dr. Rudnicki and his team discovered that muscle stem cells also express the dystrophin protein, and without this protein, they produce ten-fold fewer muscle precursor cells, which in - turn generate fewer functional muscle fibres.

In the current study, Brass and co-author Patrick Haggard, a professor of cognitive neuroscience and psychology at University College London, asked 15 subjects to push a button on a keyboard while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to monitor brain activity; participants were instructed to occasionally skip the action.

We called them expansion segments, and initially people thought they were a remnant of evolution and didn't have any function, but current studies by John Woolford making mutations in yeast and by other groups doing X-ray crystallography and cryo - electron microscopy are starting to zero in on whether they may indeed be playing functional roles.

This observation suggests that the bulk of genes involved in Nasonia immune response remain uncharacterized, with the current study being the first identification of additional candidate genes for immunity based on functional response to infection.

His current research is focussed on functional imaging and electron microscopy applied to the study of zebrafish neuronal activity in normal and pathology model conditions.

The purpose of this review is to (1) summarize the current status of the field by highlighting key findings from studies using fMRI to examine task - related and intrinsic functional connectivity in individuals with ASD across various age groups, (2) reveal critical gaps in the literature which have led to an inconsistent characterization of functional connectivity in ASD, and (3) argue that a developmental perspective can help reconcile some extant contradictory findings, and is necessary for future progress in the field.
