Abstract
Do false memories last? And do they last as long as true ones? This study investigated whether experimentally created false memories would persist for an extended period (one and a half years). A large number of subjects (Nโ=โ342) participated in a standard threeโstage misinformation procedure (saw the event slides, read the narrations with misinformation, and then took the memory tests). The initial tests showed that misinformation led to a significant amount of false memory. One and a half years later, the participants were tested again. About half of the misinformation false memory persisted, which was the same rate as for true memory. These results strongly suggest that brief exposure to misinformation can lead to longโterm false memory and that the strength of memory trace was similar for true and false memories.

## Abstract The purpose of this work was to evaluate insulin sensitivity in chromium mine workers exposed to chromium chronically. Body mass index, waist circumference, fat mass and percent, lipid levels, serum glucose, insulin, leptin and chromium levels, HOMA (%S), and HOMA (%B) values were measu
Chromiurn(V1) resistant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines were established in this study by exposing parental CHO-K1 cells to sequential increases in Cr03 concentration. The final concentration of Cr03 used for selection was 7 pM for Cr7 and 16 pM for Cr16 cells. Crl6-1 was a subclone derived f
Raf kinases are downstream effectors of Ras and upstream activators of the MEK-ERK cascade. Ras and MEK-ERK signaling play roles in learning and memory (L&M) and neural plasticity, but the roles of Raf kinases in L&M and plasticity are unclear. Among Raf isoforms, B-raf is preferentially expressed i
