Abstract Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a neglected tropical disease that mostly affects the working-class and impoverished segments of society, having a significant negative effect on the economic development of the affected nation.While anti-leishmanial medications lower mortality among VL patients, patients may still die or require more time to
Segregating domain-general from emotional context-specific inhibitory control systems - ventral striatum and orbitofrontal cortex serve as emotion-cognition integration hubs
Inhibitory control hierarchically regulates cognitive and emotional systems in the service of adaptive goal-directed behavior across changing task demands and environments.While previous studies convergently determined the contribution of prefrontal-striatal systems to general inhibitory control, findings on MELATONIN + GABA the specific circuits t

Modelling distributions of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus using climate, host density and interspecies competition.
Florida faces the challenge of repeated introduction and autochthonous transmission of arboviruses transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus.Empirically-based predictive models of the spatial distribution of these species would aid surveillance and vector control efforts.To predict the occurrence and abundance of these species, we fit a mix
