Clinical anatomy of the subacromial and related shoulder bursae
The shoulder is complex from both functional and biomechanical perspectives, with shoulder disorders affect a large proportion of adults at some stage in their life and are the most common musculoskeletal complaint in ... -
RF-amide related peptide neurons as modulators of stress-induced reproductive suppression
Reproduction is influenced by the physiological and environmental modulation of the hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neuronal network. GnRH hypothalamic activity is reflected in the systemic circulation ... -
Maternal High Fat Diet and Myelination within the Basolateral Amygdala and Hippocampus
Maternal obesity has significant effects on the neurodevelopmental outcomes of the offspring, increasing their propensity to neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) such as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). ASDs emerge from ... -
An investigation into dysfunctional feed-forward inhibition within the cortico-thalamocortical network on absence seizure generation using DREADD technology
Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is one of the most prevalent paediatric epilepsies, accounting for between 10-17% of all diagnosed cases of epilepsies seen in school-aged children. Absence seizures are characterized by ... -
Chromaffin Cell Ca2+-Responses in Rat Adrenal Medullary Slices
Adrenal medullary chromaffin cells undergo exocytosis of catecholamines to provide physiological and behavioural adaptations during stress. Several different stimuli are known to evoke catecholamine secretion from the ... -
Clinical anatomy of the neurofascial sheath
Background: The peripheral nerve blockade (PNB) and minimally invasive surgery are central to the “Fast Track Surgery” strategy which uses multimodal perioperative rehabilitation programs and aims to facilitate early ... -
The Role of Lhx9 in the Male Reproductive System
Leydig cells (LCs) are found within the interstitium of the testes. LCs are crucial to male reproductive function due to their role in testosterone synthesis, a process vital for both organogenesis and secondary sex ... -
The role of gene duplication and neofunctionalization in the sexual plasticity of teleost fish
Sex determination and differentiation varies widely across vertebrates. In teleost fish these processes are remarkably plastic. In contrast to a gonochoristic system where the sexes are separate, fish that begin life as ... -
A novel leptin receptor mutation causes delayed puberty onset in mice
Reproductive function is tightly controlled by nutritional state due to its high energetic demands. Regulation of fertility according to available energy stores is attained through the integration of metabolic status signals ... -
Kinetics of Passive Demethylation
DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification established during cellular differentiation, and when removed by either active or passive means, can substantially improve the efficiency by which induced pluripotent stem cells ... -
Characterisation of developmental cues in early postnatal AgRP neurons
Body weight regulation and the control of food intake are topics that continue to receive much attention as countries around the world grapple with alarming rates of obesity and the associated poorer health outcomes. Central ... -
The role of calcium-permeable AMPA receptors and arc in secreted amyloid precursor protein alpha-mediated plasticity
The orchestrated regulation of the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA)-subtype of glutamate receptors by neuronal activity and neuromodulators is critical to the expression of both long-term ... -
Implications of human interaction for health of past populations in Asia
Drivers of human mobility such as migration, trade and conflict is today recognised to considerably influence the spread and prevalence of infectious diseases globally. Additionally, these factors are known to impact ... -
Modulation of interhemispheric inhibition and its effect on stroke recovery in the rat
Rationale: Residual disability following stroke is a significant challenge for patients and the healthcare system, both in New Zealand and worldwide. Poor recovery from motor cortex (M1) stroke has been associated with an ... -
Assessment of the impacts of anthropogenic hybridisation in a threatened non-model bird species through the development of genomic resources with implications for conservation
Interspecific hybridisation—the breeding between distinct species—can contribute to species extinction due to wasted reproductive potential, outbreeding depression, and introgression of genetic material mediated by ... -
The prehistoric people from Sigatoka : an analysis of skeletal and dental traits as evidence of adaptation
The biological relationships of Pacific people has long been the subject of conjecture and research. Yet very few skeletons older than 1000 years have been recovered and studied. The excavation of 63 skeletons from the ... -
Stress and sex change in New Zealand spotty wrasse (Notolabrus celidotus)
Sex is fixed from birth in most organisms, where individuals develop as either female or male and retain their sex through life. Traditionally, sex has been considered to be determined by genetic elements or by environmental ... -
Microbial bioerosion: testing a new technique to differentiate stillborn, perinatal, and neonatal infants in archaeological samples.
First reported by Carl Wedl in 1864, microbial bioerosion is one of the most common and destructive taphonomic processes to act on skeletal material within the archaeological record. It refers to when microbes such as ... -
DNA methylation memory: Understanding epigenetic reprogramming in vertebrates
DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark critical for vertebrate development and is associated with numerous cellular and organismal processes including X-chromosome inactivation, genomic imprinting, and regulation of gene ... -
The mortuary practices of three prehistoric sites in northeast Thailand : an interpretation from the perspective of field anthropology
Burials from archaeological sites contain important information and differences between them suggest that the members of a community interred their dead in a specific and intentional manner. To form a comprehensive ...
