ELUCIDATING THE COMPLEMENTARITY OF RESTING-STATE NETWORKS DERIVED FROM DYNAMIC [18F]FDG AND HEMODYNAMIC FLUCTUATIONS USING SIMULTANEOUS SMALL-ANIMAL PET/MRI

Elucidating the complementarity of resting-state networks derived from dynamic [18F]FDG and hemodynamic fluctuations using simultaneous small-animal PET/MRI

Functional connectivity (FC) and resting-state network (RSN) analyses using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have evolved into a growing field of research and have provided useful biomarkers for the assessment of brain function in neurological disorders.However, the underlying mechanisms of the blood oxygen level-dependant (BOLD) signal

Ethical considerations for DNA testing as a proxy for nationality

As nations strengthen borders and restrict refugee admissions, national security officials are screening for fraudulent nationality claims.One tool to investigate nationality claims is DNA testing, either for claimed relationships or for ancestral origins.At the same Mug time, the plight of global statelessness leaves millions without documentation

Hybrid wildebeest (Artiodactyla: Bovidae) provide further evidence for shared signatures of admixture in mammalian crania

The genus Connochaetes, Lichtenstein, 1814, contains two extant species, the blue wildebeest (C.taurinus, Burchell, 1823) and the black wildebeest (C.gnou, Zimmermann, 1780).In recent years, forced sympatry in confined areas within South Bedding Africa has led to interbreeding between these taxa and to fertile hybrid offspring.Here we report on a s
