According to Descartes, bodies are things with extension, and since having extension does not entail any ...
For full statistics in all eight pre-registered subregions for both modalities, see Supplementary Table4and Supplementary Table5. We report local pattern response in each region, which is the dot product of the activity in each voxel and its corresponding SIIPS pattern weights. The interpretation i...

Microglial activation plays central roles in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Positron emission tomography (PET) targeting 18 kDa Translocator Protein (TSPO) is widely used for localising inflammation in vivo, but its quantitative int
The computation of deviations (squared or not) and accounting for the source of the deviations, as a result of an experimental manipulation and/or its correlation with another variable, is part of this process. But it’s just the beginning, and the word “explained” is too pretentious a ...
In light of potential residual confounding and reverse causation bias, large MR studies are needed to determine whether mineral status might influence the risk of RA. Nevertheless, our present MR findings do not support the causal roles of these minerals in the development of RA. They probably ...
