Orexin receptors mediate long-term depression of excitatory synaptic transmission in the spinal cord dorsal horn.

abstract：:Badminton players of varying skill levels viewed normal and point-light video clips of opponents striking the shuttle towards the viewer; their task was to predict in which quadrant of the court the shuttle would land. In a whole-brain fMRI analysis we identified bilateral cortical networks sensitive to the anticipati...
