Corrugated interfaces in multiphase core-annular flow
(AIP Publishing, 2010)Microfluidic devices can be used to produce highly controlled and monodisperse double or multiple emulsions. The presence of inner drops inside a jet of the middle phase introduces deformations in the jet, which leads to ... -
Corruption, Inequality, and Fairness
(Elsevier, 2005)Bigger governments raise the possibilities for corruption; more corruption may in turn raise the support for redistributive policies that intend to correct the inequality and injustice generated by corruption. We formalize ... -
Cortical plasticity mediates behavioral hypersensitivity following noise-induced sensorineural hearing loss
(2023-04-28)The sensory periphery is specialized to transduce environmental stimuli into interpretable signals carried up afferent sensory pathways. It would follow that damage to these sensory receptor cells would result in a loss ... -
The Cortical Signature of Alzheimer's Disease: Regionally Specific Cortical Thinning Relates to Symptom Severity in Very Mild to Mild AD Dementia and is Detectable in Asymptomatic Amyloid-Positive Individuals
(Oxford University Press, 2009)Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with neurodegeneration in vulnerable limbic and heteromodal regions of the cerebral cortex, detectable in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging. It is not clear whether abnormalities ... -
Cortical signatures of noun and verb production
(National Academy of Sciences, 2006)Categories like "noun" and "verb" represent the basic units of grammar in all human languages, and the retrieval of categorical information associated with words is an essential step in the production of grammatical speech. ... -
Cortical systems for local and global integration in discourse comprehension
(Elsevier BV, 2013)To understand language, we integrate what we hear or read with prior context. This research investigates the neural systems underlying this integration process, in particular the integration of incoming linguistic information ... -
The Cortical Underpinnings of Context-based Memory Distortion
(MIT Press, 2008)Everyday contextual settings create associations that later afford generating predictions about what objects to expect in our environment. The cortical network that takes advantage of such contextual information is proposed ... -
Cortico-Limbic Response to Personally Challenging Emotional Stimuli After Complete Recovery from Depression
(Elsevier, 2009)People vulnerable to depression are at increased risk of relapse if they live in highly critical family environments. To explore this link, we used neuroimaging methods to examine cortico-limbic responding to personal ... -
Corticospinal Motor Neurons and Related Subcerebral Projection Neurons Undergo Early and Specific Neurodegeneration in \(hSOD1^{G93A}\) Transgenic ALS Mice
(Society for Neuroscience, 2011)Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by predominant vulnerability and central degeneration of both corticospinal/corticobulbar motor neurons (CSMN; “upper motor neurons”) in cerebral cortex, and spinal/bulbar ... -
Corticospinal Motor Neurons Are Susceptible to Increased ER Stress and Display Profound Degeneration in the Absence of UCHL1 Function
(Oxford University Press, 2015)Corticospinal motor neurons (CSMN) receive, integrate, and relay cerebral cortex's input toward spinal targets to initiate and modulate voluntary movement. CSMN degeneration is central for numerous motor neuron disorders ... -
Corticosterone inhibits GAS6 to govern hair follicle stem-cell quiescence
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-03-31)Chronic, sustained exposure to stressors can profoundly impact tissue homeostasis, although the mechanisms by which these changes occur are largely unknown. Here, we report the adrenal gland-derived stress hormone ... -
Corticostriatal pathways contribute to the natural time course of positive mood
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)The natural time course of mood includes both acute responses to stimuli and spontaneous fluctuations. To date, neuroimaging studies have focused on either acute affective responses or spontaneous neural fluctuations at ... -
Corticothalamic circuits for active listening
(2021-01-21)Layer 6 corticothalamic neurons (L6 CTs) are the largest component of the corticofugal projection system and one of the largest classes of projection neuron in the brain. However, the contribution of L6 CTs to brain function ... -
Corticothalamic Projection Neuron Development beyond Subtype Specification: Fog2 and Intersectional Controls Regulate Intraclass Neuronal Diversity
(Elsevier BV, 2016)Corticothalamic projection neurons (CThPN) are a diverse set of neurons, critical for function of the neocortex. CThPN development and diversity need to be precisely regulated, but little is known about molecular controls ... -
Cosi fan tutti i compositori: The Cephalus-Procris Myth and the Birth of Romantic Opera in Hoffmann's Aurora
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013) -
Cosine-Gauss Plasmon Beam: A Localized Long-Range Nondiffracting Surface Wave
(American Physical Society, 2012) -
Cosmic Extremes: Probing Energetic Transients With Radio Observations
(2018-05-11)With the advent of sensitive facilities like the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array and planning well underway for vastly more powerful wide-field interferometers like the Square Kilometer Array, the study of radio astrophysical ... -
Cosmic flows in the nearby universe from Type Ia supernovae
(Oxford University Press, 2012)Peculiar velocities are one of the only probes of very large scale mass density fluctuations in the nearby Universe. We present new 'minimal variance' bulk flow measurements based upon the 'First Amendment' compilation of ... -
Cosmic Laboratory of Particle Physics
(2023-06-01)Cosmological observations have entered the era of precision, unlocking its tremendous power as a particle physics laboratory, aiding our search for physics beyond the Standard Model. The great power of cosmology comes from ...
