Zinc-containing terminals are found throughout the neocortex, concentrated predominantly in layers II/III, V, and VI. Synaptic zinc is a potent neurotransmitter/modulator and, therefore, may mediate inter- or intra-cortical integration of sensory information. We have previously shown that levels of synaptic zinc are rapidly modulated in somatosenso...

The therapeutic effects elicited by photobiostimulation in the near infrared range may be associated with increased proliferation rate of particular cell-types. The present study utilized commercial light emitting diodes to investigate the effects of low-level near-infrared radiation on the proliferation rate of stem cells in amputated planarian. W...

In three different experiments pairs of unrelated people sitting in two different rooms were exposed simultaneously to different rates of circumcerebral rotations of weak, complex magnetic fields in order to produce "dynamic similarity". Quantitative electroencephalographic (QEEG) measurements were taken for one member of each pair in one room whil...

Prenatal or perinatal exposure to physiologically-patterned magnetic fields (MFs) affects behaviour in weanling (22d) and young adult (90d) rats. However, the long-term (120d-730d) biological effects of these MFs have not been ex-amined. In the current study, the long-term effects of developmental exposure to a physiologically-patterned MF, and the...
