Inhibition of DNA synthesis by an electrophilic metabolite of benzo[a]pyrene.

abstract：:"Functional connectivity" techniques are commonplace tools for studying brain organization. A critical element of these analyses is to distinguish variance due to neurobiological signals from variance due to nonneurobiological signals. Multiecho fMRI techniques are a promising means for making such distinctions based ...
