A group of 52 male, 2-year-old Ico:WIST rats were tested on the spatial reference memory
version of the Morris water maze. Their performance was rated by comparisons with the …

Recent evidence suggests that neural stem/precursor cells (NPCs) promote recovery in
animal models with delayed neuronal death via a number of indirect bystander effects. A …

The importance of law and legal institutions for economic development is widely acknowledged
today. The invention of credit mechanisms to support long-distance trade has been …
