Ascending and descending motor pathways converge in the centrolateral nucleus of the thalamus
<title>Abstract</title> Corollary discharge (CD) signals are copies of motor commands that inform the brain of impending movements. Dysfunction in CD has been implicated in a variety of disorders, from schizophrenia to Parkinson’s disease. In the current study, we used intersecti...

Background: Epigenomics has emerged as an essential field in modern molecular biology, providing a critical layer of gene regulation. DNA methylation, histone modifications and alterations to the chromatin accessibility of DNA have been widely associated with complex diseases inc...
- Physics & Space
The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 3,200 new measurements from 903 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and b...
