muscle fiber type transformation in nemaline myopathy and congenital fiber type disproportion. | in a morphometric study on biopsied muscles from 5 patients with nemaline myopathy (nm) and 5 with congenital fiber type disproportion (cftd), the common findings were relative type 1 fiber smallness, type 1 fiber predominance and occasional hypertrophic type 2 fibers. in nm, the relatively larger type 1 fibers increased in number with age in parallel with a decrease in the number of normal to hypertrophic type 2 fibers, reflecting active fiber type transformation from type 2 to type 1, which re ... | 2013 | 3799921 |

spike synchronization of tympanic receptor fibres in a grasshopper (chorthippus biguttulus l., acrididae). a possible mechanism for detection of short gaps in model songs. | in recordings from single tympanic receptor fibres in c. biguttulus, the response to synthesized sounds (rectangularly modulated white noise) interrupted by very brief (a few milliseconds) gaps was examined. in behavioral tests, females of the species respond very differently to such 'model syllables' at moderate intensities, depending on the gap width. if the gaps (in a moderate-intensity syllable) are larger than 2 ms, the stimulus fails to elicit a response, whereas stimuli with gaps smaller ... | 2013 | 3837104 |
