H3 AND H4 LYSINE ACETYLATION CORRELATES WITH DEVELOPMENTAL AND EXPERIMENTALLY INDUCED ADULT EXPERIENCE-DEPENDENT PLASTICITY IN THE MOUSE VISUAL CORTEX

H3 and H4 Lysine Acetylation Correlates with Developmental and Experimentally Induced Adult Experience-Dependent Plasticity in the Mouse Visual Cortex

Histone posttranslational modifications play a fundamental role in orchestrating gene expression.In this work, we analyzed the acetylation of H3 and H4 histones (AcH3-AcH4) and its modulation by visual experience in the mouse visual cortex (VC) during normal development and in two experimental conditions that restore juvenile-like Testers plasticit

Burning characteristics of microcellular combustible objects

Microcellular combustible objects for application of combustible case, caseless ammunition or combustible Sippy Cups detonator-holding tubes are fabricated through one-step foaming process, in which supercritical CO2 is used as foaming agent.The formulations consist of inert polymer binder and ultra fine RDX.For the inner porous structures of micro

A comparison of attitudes towards animal welfare between British and Japanese zoo visitors: Where and when do cultural differences diverge?

Scientific evidence should form the basis for policy and practice decisions concerning animal welfare.However, cultural attitudes inevitably influence decision-making processes.We conducted a survey of general attitudes towards the welfare of zoo-housed animals, live prey feeding and trust in zoo management in British and Japanese zoo visitors (1,6
