Attention contains three functional network subcomponents of alerting, orienting, and executive control.The attention network test SmartRest (ANT) is usually used to measure the efficiency of three attention subcomponents.Previous researches have focused on examining the unimodal attention with visual or auditory ANT paradigms.However, it is still
Ligand receptor interactions instruct axon guidance during development.How dendrites are guided to specific targets is less understood.The C.elegans PVD sensory neuron innervates muscle-skin interface with its elaborate dendritic branches.Here, we found that LECT-2, the ortholog of leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin-2 (LECT2), is secreted from the m
