Conceptual foundations of a REFRAME-based approach to discriminate across total knee implant designs based on the positions of functional centres of rotation by Adrian Sauer, Ariana Ortigas-Vásquez, Christoph Thorwaechter, Peter E. Müller, Henning Windhagen, Allan Maas, Thomas M. Grupp, William R. Taylor, Matthias Woiczinski

“…The kinematic signals of these five configurations were compared to determine whether key differences between implants could be detected leveraging two methodological approaches: (1) statistical parametric mapping to directly compare waveforms and (2) simple paired t-tests to compare the three-dimensional coordinates of the functional centres of rotation determined using a previously published REference FRame Alignment Method (REFRAME). …”

Activation of functional α7-containing nAChRs in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons by physiological levels of choline in the presence of PNU-120596. by Bopanna I Kalappa, Alexander G Gusev, Victor V Uteshev

“…Rather, it may indicate a lack of detection of α7-containing nAChR-mediated currents by patch-clamp electrophysiology. 2) PNU-120596 can serve as a powerful tool for detection and enhancement of responsiveness of low densities of functional α7-containing nAChRs such as those present in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. 3) In the presence of PNU-120596, physiological concentrations of choline activate functional CA1 pyramidal α7-containing nAChRs and produce step-like currents that cause repetitive step-like depolarizations, occasionally triggering bursts of action potentials in CA1 pyramidal neurons. …”
