Development of voltage-dependent inward currents in dissociated newt retinal pigment epithelial cells in culture.

abstract：:Previous functional neuroimaging studies of attention have emphasized the visual modality. We developed an auditory version of the continuous performance test (CPT) that included simple, focused and divided attention conditions. Positron emission tomographic (PET) scans were acquired during CPT performance in normal y...
