SEX DIFFERENCES IN DENDRITIC SPINE DENSITY AND MORPHOLOGY IN AUDITORY AND VISUAL CORTICES IN ADOLESCENCE AND ADULTHOOD

Sex differences in dendritic spine density and morphology in auditory and visual cortices in adolescence and adulthood

Abstract Dendritic spines are small protrusions on dendrites that endow neurons with the ability to receive and transform synaptic input.Dendritic spine number and morphology are altered as a consequence of synaptic plasticity and circuit refinement during adolescence.Dendritic spine density (DSD) is significantly different based on sex in subcorti

Discrete Centralized AGC Using LQR-Based Cost Functional Minimization for Multi-Area Interconnected Power Systems

This paper proposes the design of Discrete Centralized Optimal Quadratic Automatic Generation Control (COQAGC) based on the functional minimization method (FMM) and optimal The Relationship between Humans and Other Animals in European Animal Welfare Legislation control theory for interconnected power systems.The cost function and FMM design require

Cats Have Increased Protein Digestibility as Compared to Dogs and Improve Their Ability to Absorb Protein as Dietary Protein Intake Shifts from Animal to Plant Sources

This retrospective study used 226 dogs and 296 cats to evaluate whether protein absorption was influenced by species, and within species, what influence increasing the percentage of total dietary protein, as plant protein, had on protein absorption.Each food was evaluated by at least one study with a minimum of six dogs or cats assigned to each stu
