Cover:Researchers from the National University of Malaysia and the Masterskill University College ofHealth Sciences Malaysia have discovered that during unilateral finger tapping, the contralateralprimary motor (M1) would act as the input center which in turn triggered the propagation of signalsto supplementary motor area (SMA) in the same hemisphere and to M1 and SMA in the oppositehemisphere.The two brain images were taken from Figure 2 (page 167) depicting statistical parametric mapsobtained from random-effects analysis showing brain activation—in the article Intrinsic Couplingsbetween the Primary Motor Area and Supplementary Motor Areas during Unilateral Finger TappingTask (pages158–172).The lower image in the cover is the expression of receptor-interacting protein 140 in a developingzebrafish embryo (72 hpf, lateral view)—Figure 7 (page 130) of article entitled Expression ofReceptor-interacting Protein (RIP 140) in Zebrafish Tissues and Embryonic Stages (pages 123–132).In Pursuit of Excellence in Science © Academy of Sciences MalaysiaAll rights reserved.
