question:
Context: Classical conditioning of the eyeblink reflex is a simple form of motor learning which depends on the integrity of the cerebellum. Acquisition of conditioned eyeblink responses is markedly reduced in patients with cerebellar disorders. Noninvasive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been reported to modify the excitability of the cerebellar cortex.', 'The aim of the study was to assess whether acquisition of conditioned eyeblink responses (CR) is altered by cerebellar tDCS.', 'A standard delay conditioning paradigm with a 540 ms tone as conditioned stimulus (CS) coterminating with a 100 ms air puff as unconditioned stimulus (US) was used in a total of 30 healthy subjects (18 female, 12 male, mean age 23.4 ± 1.9 years). One hundred paired CS-US trials and 30 extinction CS alone trials were given. tDCS (2 mA intensity, ramp like onset) was applied over the right cerebellar hemisphere ipsilaterally to the US during the acquisition phase. Subjects were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 10) using anodal, cathodal or sham stimulation. The investigator as well as the participants was blinded to the stimulation modality.', 'CR acquisition was significantly enhanced by anodal tDCS (mean total CR incidence 73.4 ± 25.2%) and significantly reduced by cathodal stimulation (12.6 ± 17.2%) compared to sham stimulation (43.8 ± 24.1%). During anodal tDCS CR onset occurred significantly earlier, that is mean onset of responses was shifted closer to CS onset.\Question: Is acquisition of conditioned eyeblink responses modulated by cerebellar tDCS?
answer:
Acquisition and timing of conditioned eyeblink responses is modified by cerebellar tDCS in a polarity dependent manner.


question:
Context: Physical inactivity has been associated with obesity and related chronic diseases. Understanding built environment (BE) influences on specific domains of physical activity (PA) around homes and workplaces is important for public health interventions to increase population PA.', 'To examine the association of home and workplace BE features with PA occurring across specific life domains (work, leisure, and travel).', 'Between 2012 and 2013, telephone interviews were conducted with participants in four Missouri metropolitan areas. Questions included sociodemographic characteristics, home and workplace supports for PA, and dietary behaviors. Data analysis was conducted in 2013; logistic regression was used to examine associations between BE features and domain-specific PA.', "In home neighborhoods, seven of 12 BE features (availability of fruits and vegetables, presence of shops and stores, bike facilities, recreation facilities, crime rate, seeing others active, and interesting things) were associated with leisure PA. The global average score of home neighborhood BE features was associated with greater odds of travel PA (AOR=1.99, 95% CI=1.46, 2.72); leisure PA (AOR=1.84, 95% CI=1.44, 2.34); and total PA (AOR=1.41, 95% CI=1.04, 1.92). Associations between workplace neighborhoods' BE features and workplace PA were small but in the expected direction.\Question: Does home and workplace built environment support for physical activity?
answer:
This study offers empirical evidence on BE supports for domain-specific PA. Findings suggest that diverse, attractive, and walkable neighborhoods around workplaces support walking, bicycling, and use of public transit. Public health practitioners, researchers, and worksite leaders could benefit by utilizing worksite domains and measures from this study for future BE assessments.


question:
Context: This study investigated whether deletion of the alpha1A-adrenoceptor gene influences contractile responses of mouse prostate to noradrenaline. Responses of mouse prostate to noradrenaline are known to be mediated by alpha1L-adrenoceptors, which are thought to be a functional phenotype of alpha1A-adrenoceptor.', 'Prostate tissues from alpha1A-adrenoceptor knockout mice which were homozygous (alpha1A -/-) and heterozygous (alpha1A +/-) for the disrupted alpha1A-adrenoceptor gene, as well as wild-type (alpha1A +/+) littermates were mounted in glass-isolated organ baths. Electrical field stimulation of nerves and exogenous application of noradrenaline were used to investigate the effects of alpha1A-adrenoceptor disruption on prostate contractility.', 'Frequency-response curves to electrical field stimulation (0.5 ms pulse duration, 60 V, 0.1-20 Hz) yielded frequency-dependent contractions. At frequencies of 10 and 20 Hz, prostates from alpha1A -/- mice elicited an approximately 30% decreased response compared with prostates from alpha(1A)+/+ mice. Prazosin (0.3 muM) attenuated responses to electrical field stimulation in prostates from alpha1A +/+ and alpha1A +/- mice but not from alpha1A -/- mice. Increasing concentrations of exogenously administered noradrenaline (10 nM-1 mM) produced mean concentration-response curves in prostates from alpha1A +/+ and alpha1A +/- mice, which were not different. Maximum responses to noradrenaline were decreased by approximately 80% in prostates from alpha1A -/- mice compared with alpha1A +/+ mice. Prazosin attenuated responses to noradrenaline in all genotypes.\Question: Is the alpha1A-adrenoceptor gene required for the alpha1L-adrenoceptor-mediated response in isolated preparations of the mouse prostate?
answer:

alpha1L-Adrenoceptor-mediated responses in mouse prostate are abolished in alpha1A -/- mice, demonstrating that the alpha1A-adrenoceptor gene is essential to the manifestation of the prostatic alpha1L-adrenoceptor phenotype. This implies that alpha1L-adrenoceptors are indeed a functional phenotype of alpha1A-adrenoceptor.
