    Baland Jalal and V. S. Ramachandran have hypothesized that the mirror neuron system is important in giving rise to the intruder hallucination and out-of-body experiences during sleep paralysis. [117] According to this theory, sleep paralysis leads to disinhibition of the mirror neuron system, paving the way for hallucinations of human-like ...

The most well-known type of pluripotent stem cell is the embryonic stem cell.

    As aircraft fly at high altitude to save fuel due to lower drag, the formula shows that a Δa rise in altitude lengthens a flight along an entire great circle by 2 π Δa. For example, each additional 1000 feet adds 2 × π × 1000 ≈ 6,283 feet (1.0340 nautical miles) around the whole Earth. In other words, each kilometre altitude increases ...
