Agmatine does not have activity at alpha 2-adrenoceptors which modulate the firing rate of locus coeruleus neurones: an electrophysiological study in rat.

abstract：:Assessing the result of conceptual change (i.e., whether an individual has come to correctly understand a science concept) is important in science education, however traditional assessment methods lack objectivity. In this study, permutation entropy (PE) based complexity, a kind of entropy used to quantify the complex...
