Sex-specific lateralization of event-related potential effects during mental rotation of polygons.

abstract：:After amputation of an arm the sensory map of the body changes radically, causing the sensory input from face to 'invade' the original hand area in the brain. As a result, touching the face of the amputee evokes tactile sensations on the phantom. These sensory referrals from the face to phantom hand occur in a stable,...

abstract：:Apolipoprotein E (apoE) and the beta-amyloid peptide are both found in the senile plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease. Several studies have recently determined that apoE can prevent beta-amyloid fibril (Abetaf) formation in vitro. In vivo, apoE is normally associated with a lipid source. We show that both reco...
