Associative stimulation of the supraorbital nerve fails to induce timing-specific plasticity in the human blink reflex.

BACKGROUND: Associative high-frequency electrical stimulation (HFS) of the supraorbital nerve in five healthy individuals induced long-term potentiation (LTP)-like or depression (LTD)-like changes in the human blink reflex circuit according to the rules of spike timing-dependent plasticity (Mao and Evinger, 2001).HFS given at the onset of the R2 co

An HR-Induced Tobacco Peroxidase Gene Is Responsive to Spermine, but Not to Salicylate, Methyl Jasmonate, and Ethephon

Leather Lead In Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)-infected tobacco plants carrying the N resistance gene, a hypersensitive reaction or response (HR) occurs to enclose the virus in the infected tissue.Although a contribution of peroxidases to the resistance has been proposed, no evidence has been presented that tobacco peroxidase genes respond to HR.Here,
