The aim of this study was to examine the effect of
dispersive tissue properties on the volume-conducted voltage waveforms
and volume of tissue activated during deep brain stimulation.
Inhomogeneous finite-element models ...
In this paper we investigate the effects of emigration on growth in developing countries. We present a model in which productivity increases either through imitation or innovation, and both activities use the same types ...
This paper provides a brief review of the economic rationale for investing in early
childhood. It discusses the optimal timing of intervention, with reference to recent work in developmental neuroscience, and asks how ...
A new model of deep brain stimulation is presented that integrates volume conduction effects with a neural model of pathological beta-band oscillations in the cortico-basal ganglia network. The model is used to test the ...
The sulfur amino acid, cysteine plays an essential role in maintaining cellular redox potential and is a key constituent of the antioxidant, glutathione. Cysteine is highly reactive and readily oxidises to the disulfide ...
More than 85% of reported brain traumas are classified clinically as “mild” using GCS; qualitative MRI findings are scarce and provide little correspondence to clinical symptoms. Our goal, therefore, was to establish in-vivo ...
This study presents a whole-head finite element model of deep brain stimulation to examine the effect of electrical grounding, the finite conducting volume of the head, and scalp, skull and cerebrospinal fluid layers. The ...

This paper provides the first estimates of the effects of handedness on hourly earnings. Augmenting a conventional earnings equation with an indicator of left handedness shows there is a well determined positive effect on ...
This paper provides the first estimates of the effects of handedness on hourly earnings using data on a sample of 33 year olds in the United Kingdom. Augmenting a conventional earnings equation with indicators of left ...
Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, which is synthesised and released in the brain by astrocytes, microglia and neurons in response to numerous internal and external stimuli. It is involved in ...
