Are there studies showing that preschoolers mix up knowlege with inference because they do not differentiate between cognitive processes?

The idea is that lack of awareness of the boundaries between processes such as reasoning and memory allows children to cross their boundaries to fill in gaps in knowledge or communication

Can MicroRNA cross the blood brain barrier?

In diseased conditions, many genes and gene products are visible in the bloodstream. So my question is whether we can find traces of microRNA which is involved in disease and disorder in blood serum?

How do I fix tissue rolling while cutting frozen rat brain section with a cryostat?

I am cutting rat brain sections at 20um at -20C. The tissue is cutting nicely out of the O.C.T solution, but I can not get a decent section to adhere to the slide. I have included an image.
