Melatonin is the primary hormone of the pineal gland that is secreted at night.It regulates many physiological functions, including the sleep-wake cycle, gonadal activity, free radical scavenging, immunomodulation, neuro-protection, and cancer progression.The precise functions of melatonin are mediated by guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding protei
The Human Self Has Two Serial Aspects and Is Dynamic: A Concept Based on Neurophysiological Evidence Supporting a Multiple Aspects Self Theory (MAST)
The self is an increasingly central topic in current neuroscience.Understanding the neural processes that are involved in self-referential processing and functioning may also be crucial to understanding consciousness.The current short communication goes beyond the typical concept that the self is singular, as has been assumed from neuroanatomical d

Using Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration for the Diagnosis and Treatment of a Mediastinal Mass With Eccentric Calcifications: A Case Report
Mediastinal masses present a diagnostic challenge due to their similar imaging characteristics, making distinguishing between noninfectious and infectious processes or malignancies difficult.A mediastinal abscess can result in severe life-threatening infections if left untreated.Traditional treatment approaches involve surgical debridement and drai
Serotonin modulates behavior-related neural activity of RID interneuron in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Animals change their behaviors in response to external stimuli, and numerous neurotransmitters are involved in these behavioral changes.In Caenorhabditis elegans, serotonin (5-HT) affects various behaviors such as inhibition of locomotion, stimulation of egg Bird Blanket laying, and pharyngeal pumping.Previous research has shown that the neural act
