The Toll-like receptor (TLR) 3 plays a critical role in mammalian innate immune response against viral attacks by recognizing double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) or its synthetic analog polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly (IratioC)).This leads to the activation of MAP kinases and NF-kappaB which results in the induction of type I interferons and proinfla
The most typical and well known inhibitory action in the cortical microcircuit is a strong inhibition on the target neuron by axo-somatic synapses.However, it has become clear that synaptic inhibition in the cortex is much more diverse and complicated.Firstly, at least ten or more inhibitory non-pyramidal cell subtypes Kangaroo Plaited Belt engage

This study aimed to identify if sensor technology could be used to detect sickness-type signs (caused by a live vaccine) in laying hens compared to physiological and clinical sign scoring and behaviour observation.The experiment comprised 5 replicate batches (4 hens and 12 days per batch) using previously non-vaccinated hens (n = 20).Hens were move
