The effect of implicit learning on functional connectivity in schizophrenia by Asli Ceren Hinc, Asli Ceren Hinc, Simay Selek, Ibrahim Sungur, Ibrahim Sungur, Kaan Keskin, Kaan Keskin, Furkan Yazici, Furkan Yazici, Mehmet Can Erata, Mehmet Can Erata, Yigit Erdogan, Alpaslan Yilmaz, Omer Kitis, Mehmet Cagdas Eker, Mehmet Cagdas Eker, Ali Saffet Gonul, Ali Saffet Gonul, Ali Saffet Gonul

“…IntroductionNeuronal plasticity, or the ability to change and adapt in response to experiences, learning, or environment, is frequently disrupted in schizophrenia and contributes to disease-associated cognitive deficits and functional impairments.MethodsIn this study, we investigated the neuroplasticity alterations of schizophrenia patients in the cortico-striato-cerebellar circuits associated with implicit learning using a reward-enhanced Serial Reaction Time Task (SRTT) by resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI). …”

High level expression of A2ARs is required for the enhancing function, but not for the inhibiting function, of γδ T cells in the autoimmune responses of EAU. by Dongchun Liang, Hui Shao, Willi K Born, Rebecca L O'Brien, Henry J Kaplan, Deming Sun

“…In a previous report we showed that the expression of different levels of CD73 molecule allowed γδ T cells to adjust their suppressive activity; in the current study, we show that expression of increased amounts of A2AR allows γδ T cells to more effectively exert their enhancing function.…”
