A study by Japanese scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology has found that serotonergic neural projections to the brain's orbitofrontal and medial prefrontal cortices differentially modulate patience, as assessed by the time spent awaiting future rewards in mice.
PARIS – Researchers at the Biomechanics and Bioengineering laboratory (BMBI), a joint venture between the Compiègne University of Technology in Oise, France, and the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), have designed a new implant intended for minimally invasive surgery for mitral valve repair. One of the BMBI teams has been working closely two cardiovascular surgeons from the University Hospital of Henri-Mondor to develop this new minimally invasive approach in the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation.
