The whole-brain connectome of both the PMNE and control groups exhibited typical features of small-world topology; that is, compared with matched random networks, the functional brain networks had higher clustering coefficients (C p ) but similar characteristic path length (L p ).
NSCs proliferation assay for all the compounds (1 29) with DMSO and puromycin as the control groups exhibited the unexpected inhibitory activities of compounds 1 2, 6 8, and 10 at 10 μM (Table 1).
After nicotine conditioning, all three control groups exhibited a strong preference toward the previously non-preferred chamber by spending a significantly increased amount of time in there (Figure 4, p<0.01).
The studied fish species (control groups) exhibited remarkable differences in tissue-specific cholinesterase activity.
Confocal microscopy analysis revealed that the mitochondria of L02 cells in the untreated control groups exhibited normal elongated-tubular structures.
Control groups exhibited aortic and renal blood flow 10.8 ± 0.3 mL/min and 5.4 ± 0.1 mL/min, respectively.
All the differentially expressed transcripts were hierarchically clustered and the results showed that the distinct gene expression pattern was associated with cadmium exposure level, although the low and control groups exhibited a more similar expression pattern than the high group, probably because we used quite low dose of cadmium to treat the low group).
After challenge with DENV-1 or DENV-2 strains, all vaccinated animals but not those of the control groups exhibited complete or near-complete protection against DENV-1 and DENV-2 viremia (i.e., infectious virus in serum detected in Vero cells).
Our results indicate that both group A and the control group exhibited sufficient strength and instant stability; however, group C exhibited the highest stability and the lowest maximum von Mises stress.
Although both groups showed inversion effects for both faces and cars, only the control group exhibited a significant dFIE, i.e. a larger inversion effect for faces than cars.
