The cerebral cortex plays a critical role in perception and in learning-induced plasticity. We show that reversibly silencing any of the main regions of auditory cortex impairs the ability of adult ferrets to localize sound, with the largest deficit seen

The aim of the present work was to evaluate drug release and quality of EVA/drug matrices at different PEO 7M concentrations (5 and 15%), manufactured using two different hot-melt extruders: a lab-scale mini extruder and a pilot-scale extruder. The process
The aim of this study was to investigate the drug release from microparticles coated with various polymeric films. Ibuprofen-loaded microparticles with diameter of 250 and 300 microm were prepared by a fluidized bed granulator. Five polymers were used as coating

Plants emit phytochemicals as a defensive mechanism against herbivores. A small sensor switch that responds to these chemicals could be used to stop insect infestation at early stages. Polyethylene-co-vinyl acetate was chosen as the best polymer for this particular application

Vaginal rings are currently being investigated for delivery of HIV microbicides. However, vaginal rings are currently manufactured form hydrophobic polymers such as silicone elastomer and polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA), which do not permit release of hydrophilic microbicides such as the
