HUMANIZED SUBSTITUTIONS OF VMAT1 IN MICE ALTER AMYGDALA-DEPENDENT BEHAVIORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EVOLUTION OF ANXIETY

Humanized substitutions of Vmat1 in mice alter amygdala-dependent behaviors associated with the evolution of anxiety

Summary: The human vesicular monoamine transporter 1 (VMAT1) harbors unique substitutions (Asn136Thr/Ile) that affect monoamine uptake into synaptic vesicles.These substitutions are absent in all known mammals, suggesting their contributions to distinct aspects of human behavior modulated by monoaminergic transmissions, such as emotion and cognitio

Polymorphic loci of coat color in mini-pigs

The present work is phenomenological and purely descriptive.It shows polymorphism of colors in a breeding group of mini-pig in the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ICG SB RAS) and makes some assumptions about the nature of this genetic diversity.In the ICG SB RAS mini-pig herd, wild-type

Application of layout optimization technique to large-scale frame structures considering cross-sectional areas of frame members

To design economical frame structures, it is necessary to determine the optimum frame layout and optimum cross-sectional area of each frame member.Although previous studies have proposed a variety of optimization methods, they can be applicable to small-scale frame structures and have been verified only for simple frame structures with a small numb

Applying Nuclear Slidell Model To Calculate Energy Levels Ti42-44

In this work , we applied the nuclear shell model by using Modified Surface Delta Interaction ( MSDI Drain Collector Hose ) to study the nuclear structure for Ti42-44 nuclei from the calculation of the energy level values and its total angular momentum.After comperation with the experiment values which found to be rather in good agreement and deter
