Modulation of adaptive motor behavior by midbrain inhibitory neurons
Creators: name: Yilmaz, Guzin Duygu

description: Midbrain dopamine neurons are an essential component of the basal ganglia thatbroadcast learning and motor signals to the forebrain. The pedunculopontine nucleus(PPN), a midbrain structure that is mainly known for its role in locomotion and arousal,is among a handful of hindbrain regions that send heavy efferents to the dopaminergicmidbrain. Glutamatergic and cholinergic efferents from the PPN have been shown tomodulate the phasic activity of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra compacta,shaping their responses to prediction error signals, their changes in behavioralcontingencies and their activity during self-generated movement initiation. We recentlydiscovered the existence of a third PPN projection system that originates in inhibitoryneurons (GABA) and directly innervate dopamine neurons of the substantia nigracompacta. Activation of PPN GABAergic axons inhibits dopamine neurons and stopslocomotion in freely moving mice. Given the role of dopamine neurons in adaptivebehavior and the role of the PPN in behavioral initiation, we designed a series ofexperiments to test the hypothesis that PPN GABAergic neurons contribute to shapedopamine neuron activity during goal-directed actions. In the first aim, we used anoptogenetic approach to activate PPN GABAergic axons in the SNc during an operant task that required mice to complete a sequence of lever presses to get a reward. Wefound that PPN activation caused the execution of ongoing motor sequences to pause,while the same activation before a sequence is initiated, in some cases, aborted theupcoming sequence. When PPN axons were activated in tasks that did not involve self-generated motor bouts, we observed no detectable changes in the performance ofthose actions. In the second aim, we investigated the role of PPN GABAergic signalingduring spontaneous movement (i.e. locomotion initiation, termination, execution speed)by recording the activity of optogenetically-identified GABAergic PPN neurons. Acuterecordings were made from head-fixed mice that were free to run on a frictionlesswheel. Overall, PPN unit activity varied in their firing characteristics, as previous reportshave shown. We identified PPN neurons that are speed modulated, with varyingcorrelation strengths. These neurons also showed time-locked activity changes duringlocomotor initiation and termination, but no phasic changes were observed. IdentifiedGABAergic neurons showed less overall modulation with speed, and were not recruitedduring spontaneous locomotor initiation and terminations. In the third aim, we testedwhether PPN GABAergic neurons are recruited during the initiation of goal-directedmovements by training mice in a go/no go paradigm. Our results show that the PPNGABA contributes to the difference between action representations in trials that micehave responded to the conditioned stimuli, by specifically marking responseterminations, suggesting a role in behavioral switching. Implications of such a role arediscussed, as well as future directions.

description: Genus Amphicoma Latreille, 1807
Amphicoma Latreille, 1807: 118. Type species: Melolontha abdominalis Fabricius, 1781 by original designation. Amphitriche Gistel, 1848: 162 (junior synonym)
Anthypnoides Yawata, 1942: 34 (junior synonym)
Arrhephora Fairmaire, 1891: 8 (junior synonym)
Toxocerus Fairmaire, 1891: 7 (junior synonym)
Amphicoma can be separated from other glaphyrid genera by the following combination of characters: body surface pilose, setae moderate in length; male antennal club elongated, not cupuliform, antennal club outwardly/ inwardly curved; clypeus widened at base; mesoepimeron not visible dorsally; scutellum elongate-triangular; abdomen not elongate, prepygidium/tergite rarely exposed when viewed dorsally; protibia bidentate or tridentate, basal teeth weakly developed/vestigial; apex of male mesotibia with incision; metafemora not broadly enlarged; metatibia straight, not curved inwardly; protarsomeres 1–4 without comb-like spines and apical protarsomere longer than the basal three protarsomeres measured together.
Distribution. Eastern to southwestern China, Indochina, Japan, Ryukyu Archipelago (both islands of Iriomotejima and Ishigakijima), Taiwan, Switzerland, Greece, Spain and Italy.
Remarks. Nikodým (2005) divided the genus Amphicoma into four species groups: A. corinthia, A. abdominalis, A. florentini and A. dubia, based on three male character states of the mesotibial spur, the curviform antennal club and the length of antennal club. This delimitation of the species group concepts is roughly applicable to a local fauna like in Taiwan, but it may not be appropriate when considering phylogenetic relationships within the entire genus. We therefore will refrain from using Amphicoma species groups until a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis is conducted for the genus.

description: Tagesschulen ermöglichen einen besonderen Zugang, um eventuelle Gefährdungen zu beobachten, zu dokumentieren und einzuschätzen, um einvernehmliche Lösungen zu suchen und um effektive Hilfe und Entlastung der Eltern im Erziehungsalltag zu bieten. Trotzdem stellen der Umgang mit Kindeswohlgefährdungen und Meldungen an die KESB eine besondere Herausforderung für Tagesschulen dar, denn diese werden trotz rechtlichem Rahmen (z. B. durch das Harmos-Konkordat und zahlreiche kantonale Volksschulgesetze) durch die einzelnen Gemeinden gesteuert. Dies führt zu verschiedensten Tagesschulmodellen und -bezeichnungen. Zudem sind Mitarbeitende mit unterschiedlichen Ausbildungshintergründen an Tagesschulen tätig. Deren funktionsspezifische Arbeitsformen wie auch Berufsauftrag sind unterschiedlich differenziert in den einzelnen Schulkonzepten und noch unzureichend gesetzlich geregelt. Gleichzeitig ermöglichen Tagesschulen den Kindern und Jugendlichen mehr Freizeit im Kontext Schule, wodurch sie mehr Zeit mit fachlicher Begleitung und in alltäglichen Förderungs- und Schutzkontexten verbringen. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden drei Forderungen an Tagesschulen besonders wichtig, um einen reibungslosen Ablauf hinsichtlich der Thematik zu gewährleisten, die im Beitrag abschliessend genannt werden.

description: Study objective The aim was to quantify and compare the environmental and financial impact of two diets: a heart-healthy Australian diet (HAD) and the typical Australian diet (TAD). Design The study involved a secondary analysis of two modelled dietary patterns used in a cross-over feeding trial. Setting The evaluation focused on two-week (7-day cyclic) meal plans designed to meet the nutritional requirements for a reference 71-year-old male (9000 kJ) for each dietary pattern. Main outcome measures The environmental footprint of each dietary pattern was calculated using the Global Warming Potential (GWP*) metric, taking into account single foods, multi-ingredient foods, and mixed dishes. Prices were obtained from a large Australian supermarket. Results The HAD produced 23.8 % less CO2 equivalents (CO2-e) per day (2.16 kg CO2-e) compared to the TAD (2.83 kg CO2e per day). Meat and discretionary foods were the primary contributors to the environmental footprint of the TAD, whereas dairy and vegetables constituted the largest contributors to the HAD footprint. However, the HAD was 51 % more expensive than the TAD. Conclusion Transitioning from a TAD to a HAD could significantly reduce CO2 emissions and with benefits for human health and the environment. Affordability will be a major barrier. Strategies to reduce costs of convenient healthy food are needed. Future studies should expand the GWP* database and consider additional environmental dimensions to comprehensively assess the impact of dietary patterns. Current findings have implications for menu planning within feeding trials and for individuals seeking to reduce their carbon footprint while adhering to heart-healthy eating guidelines.

Chironomus (Endochironomus) hamatus Freeman, 1957: 355.
Endochironomus hamatus (Freeman, 1957), Freeman and Cranston (1980).
Material examined: 1 paratype male (NHMUK), Democratic Republic of the Congo, Elisabethville, 30.iii.1939, H.-J. Brédo.
The examined male paratype shows characters typical of the Chironomus group of genera: antenna with 11 flagellomeres, medially fused antepronotal lobes, inferior volsella subcylindrical with dense apical setae. Unfortunately, the slide-mounted hypopygium (Figs 1a, b) is quite distorted, but the almost parallel-sided gonostylus without subapical constriction, anal tergite bands that meet medially in front of and not encircling median tergite setae, and the shape of the superior volsella resembles what is known from Benthalia Lipina (Shilova 1980 sub Einfeldia carbonaria (Meigen, 1804), Saether 2012). Moreover, the specimen has large barrel-shaped frontal tubercles (Figs 1c, d) characteristic of Benthalia (Shilova 1980, fig. 8A 2). In addition there is a smaller pair of warts on the anterior part of vertex, dorsolaterally with respect to the frontal tubercles. A similar arrangement has been recorded for Tanytarsus epleri Ekrem et al., 2003. For this species the pupa has large frontal warts in addition to enlarged frontal tubercles (Ekrem et al. 2003), thus similar structures might be present in the unknown pupa of Chironomus (B.) hamatus.
Some authors regard Benthalia a separate genus (e.g. Saether and Spies 2013, Yamamoto and Yamamoto 2014), while Epler et al. (2013) regard Benthalia as possible subgenus of Chironomus Meigen along with Fleuria Kieffer, Baeotendipes Kieffer, Chaetolabis Townes and Lobochironomus Ryser, Wülker & Scholl. Molecular phylogenies are inconclusive for the group placement of Benthalia (Martin et al. 2007 sub Lobochironomus dissidens = Benthalia carbonaria), but indicate a closer relationship to species in Chironomus sensu stricto. Until conclusive data that are provided, preferably through molecular systematic studies with wide sampling of Chironomus species and relatives, we regard Benthalia as a subgenus of Chironomus.

Chironomus (Cryptochironomus) inflexus Freeman, 1957: 403.
Cladopelma inflexum (Freeman, 1957), Freeman and Cranston (1980).
Material examined: Holotype male & 1 paratype female (NHMUK), Sudan, Khartoum, x.1951, D. J. Lewis.
The species was listed as a new combination in Cladopelma Kieffer by Freeman and Cranston (1980), but later transferred to Cryptotendipes by Ashe et al. (1987) based on personal communication with P. S. Cranston. We have examined the male holotype (pinned specimen with hypopygium on separate celluloid strip) and a slide mounted female paratype (Fig. 2). The presence of small frontal tubercles (Figs 2c, d), male gonostyli with a narrow base (Fig. 2a) and setae ventrally on segment X of the female abdomen (Fig. 2b) points towards placement in Cladopelma. The gonocoxal appendages of the holotype can be interpreted as a small wart-like superior volsella above a weak lobe-like inferior volsella (Fig. 2a), but this is not a completely clear structure on both sides. The presence of an inferior volsella is not compatible with the present diagnosis of Cladopelma (Cranston et al. 1989, Yan et al. 2008), but more material of C. inflexum, including associated immatures, should be examined before eventual emendations to diagnostic characters of Cladopelma are made. The species is known as adults from Chad, Malawi, Niger and Sudan (Freeman and Cranston 1980, McLachlan 1975).

description: Aims: This study investigates nurse managers' perception of organisational safety culture and team efficacy in managing patient and visitor aggression , and determines the predictors of team efficacy. Background: Patient and visitor aggression is a serious hazard in healthcare. A positive organisational safety culture regarding patient and visitor aggression enhances the safety and staff efficacy in managing patient and visitor aggression. Methods: A cross‐sectional online survey including nurse managers in psychiatric and general hospitals (n = 446) was conducted in Switzerland, Austria and Germany (November 2016–February 2017). Data were analysed descriptively and through binary logistic regression. Results: The key results are as follows: “Working in a mental health setting” was 3.5 times more likely, “consideration of the physical environment” was four times more likely and a “shared organisational attitude” was twice as likely to predict high team efficacy. In comparison to psychiatric hospitals, general hospital managers perceived organisational safety cultures to be less positive. Conclusions: A positive organisational safety culture leads to the perception that teams are more effective at managing patient and visitor aggression. Implications for Nursing Management: Consideration of the physical environment and a positive shared organisational attitude regarding patient and visitor aggression are crucial for high team efficacy. General hospitals could benefit from approaches utilized in psychiatry to enhance staff efficacy in managing patient and visitor aggression.

description: Wood grain orientation differences in the two surfaces to be bonded yield bondlines of different strength in no-adhesives wood welding. Longitudinal wood grain bonding of tangential and radial wood sections yields an approximately 10% difference in strength results of the joint. Cross-grain (±90°) bonding yields instead a much lower strength result, roughly half that observed for pieces bonded with the grain parallel to each other. These differences can be explained by the very marked effect that homogeneity of fibre orientation is known to have on fibre–matrix composites. Oak yields lower results than beech and maple and is more sensitive to welding conditions. Differences in both anatomical and wood constituent composition can account for this difference in performance. Contrary to the other wood species, oak always presents joint bondlines where little or no increase in density at the interface is noticed. This explains its somewhat lower strength results. This is based on the different mode of bonding predominant in this species, while the other species present two different modes of bonding. Thus, two types of bondlines are observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM): (i) bondlines where entangled fibre–matrix composites are formed at the interface and (ii) bondlines in which direct welding of the cell walls occurs, just by fused intercellular material or cell surface material. In this latter case the cells remain flat, without an entangled fibre–matrix composite being formed. This is the almost exclusively predominant case for oak. Both cases and even hybrid cases between the two have also been observed in beech.

The hypopygium (Fig. 3b) lacks median tergite setae, has Y-shaped anal tergite bands, almost bare superior volsella, setose inferior volsella that is slightly expanded dorso-ventrally and gonostylus with slight subapical constriction. The species fits quite well in the definition of Kiefferulus Goetghebuer after the inclusion of Nilodorum Kieffer by Cranston et al. (1990). Indeed Freeman (1961) had discussed the similarity with Nilodorum in the original description, especially with regard to the appearance of the thorax (Fig. 3c). He chose not to place the species there due to the normally developed maxillary palps and the narrow inferior volsella, but these characters later have been argued not to be diagnostic at genus-level (Cranston et al. 1990). The shape of the superior volsella (Fig. 3b) is quite aberrant compared to other species in Kiefferulus, but we interpret this as a species-specific trait.

description: Background More than 1.7 million children in Madagascar are stunted, with low dietary diversity being a determinant. Although diverse crops are produced in the Vakinankaratra region, it registers the highest stunting prevalence rate nationally. While children’s diets may be influenced by region-specific cultural factors, little is known about this link so far. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of cultural habits on dietary diversity in children between 6 to 59 months in the Vakinankaratra region. Methods A mixed method design with a qualitative lead approach was used, including three transect walks, six focus group discussions and 51 semi-structured interviews with caregivers. The interviews contained a quantitative part to assess the four feeding indicators: ‘minimum meal frequency’, ‘minimum dietary diversity’, ‘minimum acceptable diet’ and the consumption of iron-rich foods. Participants were selected by convenience sampling. Data was collected in November 2019 in three communities displaying maximal possible variation. Results Subsistence farming with diverse crops and livestock was found to be a common practice. Minimum meal frequency was achieved by 78% of the sixty included children. In total, 45% attained minimum dietary diversity and 40% consumed a minimum acceptable diet. Across the three communities, the range of children attaining a minimum acceptable diet was 25–60%. Older, no longer breastfed children were prone to not achieving a minimum acceptable diet. Although caregivers had a basic idea of important foods for child development, these were often not available to or affordable for them. An effect of cultural events on diet, especially diversity, was found. Whilst for annual events this effect was short-term, the region-specific ceremony of reburying the dead (Famadihana) was found to have a long-term influence on the diet of certain families. Conclusions The dietary diversity of children under five in the Vakinankaratra region is influenced by cultural factors like agricultural practices, caregivers’ knowledge of child nutrition, food taboos and a region-specific cultural event. Cultural determinants, especially important traditions that result in significant expenditures, may thus influence the quality of children’s diet and should therefore be considered in future nutrition programmes and research on child malnutrition and stunting.

The examined material fits well with the definitions of Synendotendipes Grodhaus (as opposed to Endochironomus Kieffer) in lacking a tarsal beard in the adult male, lacking mid- and hind tibial spurs, and by having a very slightly broadened base of the superior volsella (Figs 4a, b). The species also has a head without frontal tubercles (Fig. 4c) and thorax with widely divided, but well developed antepronotal lobes (Fig. 4d) as is typical for Synendotendipes (Cranston et al. 1989).

description: O artigo analisa o processo de criação de distritos em Minas Gerais nos últimos anos. Destaca o período 2014-2021, quando foram criados 165 novos distritos, valor que representou um crescimento de 516% em relação ao registrado nos oito anos anteriores. Como no período não ocorreu nenhuma mudança na legislação pertinente à criação de distritos, e a intensidade do processo em Minas Gerais não foi acompanhado pelo mesmo movimento nos demais estados da Federação, a busca de possíveis explicações se concentrou em processos específicos do estado que pudessem incentivar tal corrida. O resultado da pesquisa aponta que o Programa Minas Comunica II, implantado pelo Governo do Estado entre 2014 e 2020, ao visar ampliar o serviço de telefonia móvel nas vilas mineiras, tornou-se um instrumento de incentivo à criação de novos distritos em Minas Gerais.

description: Most of what we know about embryonic development is extrapolated from information observed in mice and other animal models. The emergence of a variety of organoid models derived from iPSC provides a way for dynamic observation and mechanistic research of human development.

Since the identification of pluripotent stem cells, there have been great advancements in directing pluripotent stem cells fate in vitro using 2D cultures. These advancements, coupled with 3D culture techniques allow for the creation of organoids that recapitulate the characteristics of various specific subregions of the human organs. The use of these organoids has thus greatly contributed to our understanding of the processes of organogenesis and the field of developmental biology.

In general, organ-specific progenitor cells are generated by exposing iPSCs to a set of defined factors. After further culture, the progenitor cells self-organize into organoids representative of the developing organs. Early research on organoid development and function found that human PSC-derived organoids undergo molecular processes similar to that of Developmental Biology. This approach has provided a wealth of insight into the morphogenesis of multiple organ systems, and more interestingly, is beginning to shed light on how human genetics affects developmental diseases of the lung, gut, and brain.

As organoids can faithfully recapitulate many of the developmental steps that occur in vivo, they allow visualization and analysis of human developmental processes in real time. Also, organoid may reveal the similarities and differences between humans and other animals during development. This is especially important when trying to study complex, inherent human characteristics or diseases. In the case of the human brain, this technology opens a window into the most elusive aspects of our own biology.

description: Ensuring equitable access to digital therapeutics (DTx) is essential to avoid healthcare inequalities in an era of increasing digitization. This requires DTx to be tested with users from diverse populations, which is often not realistic due to time and resource constraints. In this paper, we propose the use of large language models (LLMs) to simulate diverse patients. Specifically, we manually create a patient vignette that characterizes a specific population group. Variations of this vignette are used for role-prompting a commercial LLM, GPT-4, instructing the LLM to take on the role described in the patient vignette and act accordingly. We investigate if the LLM stays in its given role. To do this, we simulate a medical anamnesis interview with the role-prompted LLM and analyze its responses for compliance, coherence, correctness, containment, and clarification. Our results show that GPT-4 generates compliant, coherent and clinically valid responses, including information that is not explicitly stated in the provided patient vignette.
