Within vertebrates, major sex determining genes can differ among taxa and even within species.In zebrafish (Danio rerio), neither heteromorphic sex chromosomes nor single sex determination genes of large effect, like Sry in mammals, have yet been identified.Furthermore, environmental factors can influence zebrafish sex determination.Although progre
Background: Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery is a relatively novel technique with a long learning curve: it is used to resect tumors that grow in the sella, which is located at the center of the skull base, immediately below the optic nerves and brain that are wrapped by the arachnoid, containing the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).One of the challengi

Oculomotor events such as blinks and saccades transiently interrupt the visual input and, even though this mostly goes undetected, these brief interruptions could still influence the percept.In particular, both blinking and saccades facilitate switching in ambiguous figures such as the Necker cube.To investigate the neural state antecedent Bodycare
