Dynamics of nitric oxide controlled by protein complex in bacterial system.

abstract：:Certain cognitive functions differ in men and women, although the anatomical and functional substrates underlying these differences remain unknown. Because neocortical activity is directly related with higher brain function, numerous studies have focused on the cerebral cortex when searching for possible structural co...
