Kinematics-based assessment of reaching and grasping movements in LRN ablated animals identifies a role for the LRN in endpoint stabilization and reach timing

The lateral reticular nucleus (LRN) is positioned to relay motor-related information to cerebellar circuits, but its direct contribution to skilled reaching and grasping remains unclear. Here, we examined skilled forelimb behavior in intact adult female Long-Evans rats after bila...

Mechanical and durability-related properties of one-part alkali-activated slag mortars

The mechanical and durability-related properties of a one-part alkali-activated slag (AAS) were evaluated for use as a sustainable alternative to conventional clinker-based materials. The AAS formulation was activated with stoichiometric calcium hydroxide and sodium carbonate. Co...
