Circuitry and Synaptic Dysfunction in Alzheimer’s Disease: A New Tau Hypothesis by Siddhartha Mondragón-Rodríguez, Humberto Salgado-Burgos, Fernando Peña-Ortega

“…Confronting this leading hypothesis, a few years ago, we reported that the increase in phosphorylation levels of dendritic Tau, at its microtubule domain (MD), acts as a neuroprotective mechanism that prevents N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAr) overexcitation, which allowed us to propose that Tau protein phosphorylated near MD sites is involved in neuroprotection, rather than in neurodegeneration. …”

Nonlinearities in Economic Globalization Effects on the Environment: New Insights from a Panel Smooth Transition Regression Model by Çiğdem Demir Toker, Metehan Ercan

“…This nonlinear approach divides the series into homogeneous regimes depending on the threshold variable and allows us to make regime-specific interpretations. As a result, this study, in which REP was defined as the threshold variable, has shown that there is a two-regime nonlinear relationship between environmental quality and economic globalization. …”

Reconstitution de gestes funéraires by David Peressinotto, Bruno Maureille, Yves Lecointe, Francis Geus

“…It has been possible to reconstruct the shape of the shroud, the way in which it was wrapped and fixed around the body. This has allowed us to present the hypothesis that the shape of the shroud and the way to attach it have had a voluntary influence in the final position of the child in the pit, i. e. a dorsal decubitus of the body with the head hyper-flexed on the top of the trunk. …”
