Enhanced spreading of semantic activation has been hypothesized to underlie some of the most significant symptoms of schizotypal personality, like thought disorder, odd speech, delusion, or magical thinking.We applied the Deese/Roediger-McDermott false memory task to the study of semantic activation in here a group of 123 non-clinical individuals v
To establish and maintain proper brain architecture and elaborate neural networks, neurons undergo massive migration.As a unique feature of their migration, neurons move in a saltatory manner by repeating two distinct steps: extension of the leading process and translocation of the cell body.Neurons must therefore generate forces to extend the lead
Summary: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a role in cell proliferation and differentiation during healthy development and tumor growth; however, its requirement for brain development remains unclear.Here we used a conditional mouse allele for Egfr to examine its contributions to perinatal forebrain development at the tissue level.S
