Responses of primate LGN cells to moving stimuli involve a constant background modulation by feedback from area MT
(Elsevier, 2013-05-03)
[Abstract] The feedback connections from the cortical middle temporal (MT) motion area, to layer 6 of the primary visual cortex (V1), have the capacity to drive a cascaded feedback influence from the layer 6 cortico-geniculate ...
Utility of brief questionnaires of health-related quality of life (Airways Questionnaire 20 and Clinical COPD Questionnaire) to predict exacerbations in patients with asthma and COPD
(BioMed Central, 2013-05-27)
[Abstract] Background: There is some evidence that quality of life measured by long disease-specific questionnaires may predict exacerbations in asthma and COPD, however brief quality of life tools, such as the Airways ...
