Size-invariant representation of face in infant brain: an fNIRS-adaptation study.

abstract：:Tau protein phosphorylation has been implicated as a main process that regulates microtubule dynamics. A large number of tau isoforms is generated by phosphorylation through the action of a diversity of kinases. We have analysed variations in tau phosphorylation by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, where a great he...

abstract：:Sound localization can be affected by vision; in the ventriloquism effect, sounds that are hard to localize within hearing become mislocalized toward the location of concurrent visual events. Here we tested whether spatial attention is drawn to the illusory location of a ventriloquized sound. The study exploited our p...
