Ascorbic acid is essential for normal brain development and homeostasis. However, the effect
of ascorbic acid on adult brain aging has not been determined. Long-term treatment with …

It is widely accepted that bacterial infection-mediated inflammation facilitates development
of atherosclerosis by activating toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling system. We reasoned that …

Objectives: In patients with schizophrenia, γ-band (30–70 Hz) auditory steady-state
electroencephalogram responses (ASSR) are reduced in power and phase locking. Here, we …

Perceptual salience may motivate phonological processes such as consonant place
assimilation. This paper reports on an experiment designed to test the perceptual salience of …

Background: Decreased expression of phospholipase C-β1 (PLC-β1) has been observed in
the brains of patients with schizophrenia, but, to our knowledge, no studies have shown a …

DJ‐1 has been reported as a gene linked to early onset familial Parkinson's disease, and is
functionally involved in transcriptional regulation and oxidative stress‐induced cell death. To …
