description: Substance P, thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and serotonin are putative neurotransmitters which have been proposed to coexist in some brain neurons Our previous immunocytochemical and biochemical studies have demonstrated that 85–100% of all serotonin neurons are destroyed following neonatal 5,7-dihydroxtryptamine (5,7-DHT) treatment In this study, we have determined the effect of neonatal 5,7-DHT and desipramine (DMI) treatment on the biochemical content and immunocytochemical localization of substance P and TRH throughout the brain Interestingly, we have observed that virtually all substance P- and TRH-immunoreactive cells in the ventral pons-medulla are destroyed by the neurotoxin. However, peptide-containing neurons in other regions were not affected Additionally, we measured the peptide content and found that TRH is significantly decreased in the spinal cord (−50%) and pons-medulla (−20%), but not in other brain regions Substance P content was not significantly altered in any region, even after a greater than 90% reduction of serotonin These data indicate that the co-localized substance P and TRH forms a small proportion of the total peptide in brain
title: Mission Planning Techniques for Cooperative LEO Spacecraft Constellations

description: This research develops a mission planning approach that allows different systems to cooperate in accomplishing a single mission goal. Using the techniques described allows satellites to cooperate in efficiently maneuvering, or collecting images of Earth and transmitting the collected data to users on the ground. The individual resources onboard each satellite, like fuel, memory capacity and pointing agility, are used in a manner that ensures the goals and objectives of the mission are realized in a feasible way. A mission plan can be generated for each satellite within the cooperating group that collectively optimize the mission objectives from a global viewpoint. The unique methods and framework presented for planning the spacecraft operations are flexible and can be applied to a variety of decision making processes where prior decisions impact later decision options. This contribution to the satellite constellation mission planning field, thus has greater applicability to the wider decision problem discipline.
title: A Development Plan for the Museums at Union Station in Ogden, Utah

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: This study is concerned with a comparison of the contemporary to the traditional museum. It analyzes the evolution of roles for museums and considers the changing nature of their support. Using a broad survey of literature related to museums, considerable personal experience and extensive visits and interviews with other museums, it develops the thesis that today's successful museum depends upon a diverse resource and program base. An application of this hypothesis is then made to the museums at Union Station in Ogden, Utah. The product of the study is intended to be a working plan for museum development at Union Station for the period of 1980 to 1985 and it is planned also as a prototype for other museums with similar objectives.
Union Station is the rail passenger depot in Ogden, known as "Junction City" for its role in the construction of the nation's first transcontinental railroad. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites and is within the 25th Street National Historic District. It is an active passenger station for AMTRAK; an office for the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific Railroads; an office of the Ogden Union Railway and Depot Company and also the regional tourist promotion agency--Golden Spike Empire, Incorporated.
The nucleus of the Union Station project is the museum complex, including the Railroad Museum, the Browning Firearms Museum, and the Kimball-Browning Vintage Car Museum. These functions occupy approximately one-third of the total space at Union Station and must be supported by revenue from other activities as well as from the admissions and sales they themselves generate.
The Union Station objectives of providing museums; economic stability to an historic but debilitated area; a civic and cultural center for the community; an attraction for tourists, and a meeting and convention center are examined in the context of economic self-sufficiency and historic preservation.
The components of a museum program are evaluated, including acquisitions; collections and exhibits; interpretations; registration methods; conservation, and archives and research. Museum management is considered for both personnel and physical planning. Financial development addresses policies and plans for admissions; grants; contributions; a museum shop; a membership program, and fund-raising events. Public relations and promotion and an outreach program conclude the topics of the study.
An appendix includes several useful sections for museum professionals, such as a syllabus for staff training; a glossary; maintenance manual suggestions; a docent orientation course outline, and a five year financial development plan.

description: We have experimentally measured transport of superfluid, bosonic atoms in a mesoscopic system: a small channel connecting two large reservoirs. Starting far from equilibrium (superfluid in a single reservoir), we observe first resistive flow transitioning at a critical current into superflow, characterized by oscillations. We reproduce this full evolution with a simple electronic circuit model. We compare our fitted conductance to two different microscopic phenomenological models. We also show that the oscillations are consistent with LC oscillations as estimated by the kinetic inductance and effective capacitance in our system. Our experiment provides an attractive platform to begin to probe the mesoscopic transport properties of a dilute, superfluid, Bose gas.

description: INFN-CNAF is one of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) Tier-1 data centers, providing support in terms of computing, networking, storage resources and services also to a wide variety of scientific collaborations, ranging from physics to bioinformatics and industrial engineering.
 Recently, several collaborations working with our data center have developed computing and data management workflows that require access to S3 storage services and the integration with POSIX capabilities.
 To accomplish this requirement in distributed environments, where computing and storage resources are located at geographically distant physical sites, the possibility to locally mount a file system from a remote site to directly perform operations on files and directories becomes crucial.
 Nevertheless, the access to the data must be regulated by standard, federated authentication and authorization mechanisms, such as OpenID Connect (OIDC), which is already adopted as AuthN/AuthZ mechanism within WLCG and the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
 Starting from such principles, we evaluated the possibility to regulate data access by integrating JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication, provided by INDIGO-IAM as Identity Provider (IdP), with solutions based on S3 (for object storage) and HTTP (for hierarchical storage) protocols. This talk was given in the Data and Metadata Organization, Management and Access track of CHEP 2023.

description: Child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention programs are often delivered at a universal level in schools to children and young people with the goal of increasing all young people’s protective behaviours and knowledge. Although programs can be targeted specifically at parents (to build their knowledge or skills in protecting children and responding to safety concerns), another way parents can be involved is through engagement and involvement in child-focused programs. Recent research has suggested a need to involve parents more in CSA prevention. Research evaluating programs that engage parents often neglects to evaluate the impact or effect of engaging parents on program outcomes, making it is difficult to understand how, when, and in what ways parents can be involved effectively in programs.
A conducted a systematic review of databases, previous reviews of CSA prevention programs, and studies of programs that involved parents beyond simple requests for consent of their child’s participation in the program. We extracted data to help us understand in what ways have and how parents can be involved in child-focused CSA prevention programs to increase their effectiveness.
More work is needed to evaluate the benefit of involving parents in child-focused CSA prevention programs. Understanding how working with parents prior to deploying programs in schools—and other youth-serving organisations—could facilitate parent engagement. Future prevention education could benefit if advocates promote greater understanding of the benefits of engaging parents.

description: Fast-scan cyclic voltammetry in brain slices and postmortem tissue content assessment were used to evaluate presynaptic dopaminergic function in the caudate putamen and nucleus accumbens of adult male rats (180+ days old) that were prenatally treated with either cocaine or saline. Experiments were carried out to test whether there were differences in dopamine release, reuptake, autoreceptor function or the tissue levels of dopamine and its metabolites between cocaine- and saline-exposed rats. We report that presynaptic dopaminergic function remains largely intact in adult rats that were prenatally exposed to cocaine. The ability of terminals in the caudate putamen and nucleus accumbens to release and regulate dopamine is unaltered by prenatal cocaine exposure. However the tissue content of dopamine in the caudate putamen was decreased, representing a diminution in the dopamine storage pool. We conclude, therefore, that behavioral changes that have previously been observed in rats that were prenatally exposed to cocaine are not mediated through alteration of presynaptic dopaminergic mechanisms in these brain regions.

description: The capacity of 20 healthy adult subjects for detecting differences in the amplitude of two simultaneously delivered 25 Hz vibrotactile stimuli was assessed both in the absence and presence of prior exposure to different conditions of adapting stimulation. Results obtained from this study demonstrate that increasing durations of adapting stimulation at one of the two skin sites, in the range of 0.2 to 2.0 seconds, leads to a systematic and progressive decrease in a subject’s ability to accurately discriminate between the two different amplitudes. Delivery of adapting stimuli to both of the sites of skin stimulation prior to simultaneous delivery of the test and standard stimuli, however, leads to an improvement in amplitude discrimination performance – a finding which is consistent with prior published psychophysical studies that demonstrate improvements in discriminatory capacity with much longer durations of adaptation. Striking parallels between the results obtained in this study and those reported in a prior study of the effects of vibrotactile adaptation on the optical response of squirrel monkey contralateral SI cortex to vibrotactile stimulation (Simons et al., 2007; Simons et al., 2005) suggest that the perceptual effects detected in this study could be attributable to adaptation-induced alterations of SI response.

description: Im Juli 2017 fand beim Kongress der Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP) ein Runder Tisch mit dem Titel „Engendering cities. Designing sustainable urban spaces for all“ statt. Nach einer umfassenden Problemanalyse durch die Stadtplanerin Clara Greed, Bristol, kam die Diskussion schnell auf ‚die‘ zentrale Frage, die alle feministischen und Gender- und Diversity-bewegten. Planer_innen umtreibt, nämlich darauf, wie „Gender“ in den planerischen Mainstream gebracht werden könnte. Die Themen, um die es dabei gehen müsste, scheinen mehr oder weniger klar zu sein: Wohnen, Wohnumfelder, Siedlungs- und Infrastrukturen, Sicherheit, Mobilität, öffentliche Räume… In so gut wie allen planerischen Handlungsfeldern ist hierzu seit Jahrzehnten umfangreiches Wissen angesammelt worden. Eine Vielzahl von Leitfäden, Kriterienkatalogen und Handbüchern ist erschienen (vgl. z. B. Senatsverwaltung für Stadtentwicklung 2011, Stadtentwicklung Wien 2013), die helfen sollen, Gender Mainstreaming in der Planung (= Gender Planning) umzusetzen, ohne dass Stadtplaner_innen und Architekt_innen sich in die entsprechenden theoretischen Grundlagen einarbeiten müssen. Dennoch – möglicherweise teils aber auch deswegen – sind Begeisterung für und Interesse an Gender Planning in der Planungspraxis, gelinde gesagt, verhalten. Die Gründe hierfür sind zumindest teilweise durchaus nachvollziehbar.

description: We report computer simulations of the interaction of seeding particles with quantized vortices and with the normal fluid flow in thermal counterflow of superfluid $^4$He. We show that if the particle concentration is too large, the vortex tangle is significantly affected, posing problems in the interpretation of visualization experiments. The main effects are an increase in vortex line density and a change in polarization of the vortex tangle, caused by the action of the Stokes drag of the viscous normal fluid on the trapped particles. We argue that in the case of large particle concentration, typically used for the particle image velocimetry technique, the tangle properties might become significantly changed. On the contrary, the particle tracking velocimetry technique that uses smaller particle concentration should not be appreciably affected.

description: We report progress in computing and analyzing all tree amplitudes in ABJM theory. Inspired by the isomorphism between the orthogonal Grassmannian and the pure spinor geometries, we adopt a new gauge, called u-gauge, for evaluating the orthogonal Grassmannian integral for ABJM amplitudes. We carry out the integral explicitly for the 8-point amplitude and obtain the complete supersymmetric amplitude. The physical and spurious poles arise from the integral as expected from on-shell diagrams. We also derive a double scalar soft theorem of ABJM amplitudes and verify it for known amplitudes.

description: Previous research has shown that the process of establishing coreference with a repeated name can affect basic repetition priming. Specifically, repetition priming on some measures can be eliminated for repeated names that corefer with an entity that is prominent in the discourse model. However, the exact nature and timing of this modulating effect of discourse are not yet understood. Here, we present two ERP studies that further probe the nature of repeated name coreference by using naturally produced connected speech and fast-rate RSVP methods of presentation. With speech we found that repetition priming was eliminated for repeated names that coreferred with a prominent antecedent. In contrast, with fast-rate RSVP, we found a main effect of repetition that did not interact with sentence context. This indicates that the creation of a discourse model during comprehension can affect repetition priming, but the nature of this effect may depend on input speed.
title: Happy or SAD? Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) on Cedar Mountain, Southern Utah

Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Quaking aspen forests are important communities in the western United States where they provide preferential food and habitat for animals, limit wildfires from spreading, and have favorable aesthetics, among other things. Their putative decline is an issue for ecology and management. We remeasured the aspen population on Cedar Mountain, Utah, to assess changes to its condition since it was originally surveyed in 2008. We found that the area comprised of stable aspen (>80% aspen) decreased from 84.3% to 69.7%. The amount of mortality has increased slightly over the last decade, but crown dieback has stayed virtually identical. Additionally, the intensity and frequency of insect and pathogen damage have increased significantly. The amount of aspen in the understory has increased, resulting in more of the landscape exhibiting levels of regeneration sufficient for aspen to be self-replacing. While the ratio of overstory to understory aspen was identical between sampling periods, the amount of sapling-sized trees recruiting to the overstory increased. The extent of browsing of understory aspen has also decreased. Extant aspen forests are increasing in age, and relative density indicates the landscape is further senescing. If the amount of aspen mortality is not matched or surpassed by the amount of regeneration and recruitment, the aspen forest type will likely continue to reduce in area and/or be converted to conifer forest or non-forested land. Measuring and assessing changes to the structure, composition, crown condition, mortality, damage presence, regeneration and recruitment level, and browsing pressure of this aspen population improves our understanding of potential causes and factors involved in reductions to aspen forests in southern Utah. This understanding can inform aspen forest management and provide insight into aspen forest dynamics, generally.

description: NbP is one member of a new class of nodal loop semimetals characterized by the cooperative effects of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and a lack of inversion center. Here transport and spectroscopic properties of NbP are evaluated using density functional theory methods. SOC together with the lack of inversion symmetry splits degeneracies, giving rise to "Russian doll nested" Fermi surfaces containing 4*10$^{-4}$ electron (hole) carriers/f.u. Due to the modest SOC strength in Nb, the Fermi surfaces map out the Weyl nodal loops. Calculated structure around T$^*$~100 K in transport properties reproduces well the observed transport behavior only when SOC is included, attesting to the precision of the (delicate) calculations and the stoichiometry of the samples. Low energy collective electron-hole excitations (plasmons) in the 20-60 meV range result from the nodal loop splitting.

description: A recent study (Tannan et al., 2006) showed that pre-exposure of a skin region to a 5 sec 25 Hz flutter stimulus (“adaptation”) results in an approximately 2-fold improvement in the ability of neurologically healthy human adults to localize mechanical stimulation delivered to the same skin region that received the adapting stimulation. Tannan et al. (Tannan et al., 2006) proposed that tactile spatial discriminative performance is improved following adaptation because adaptation is accompanied by an increase in the spatial contrast in the response of contralateral primary somatosensory cortex (SI) to mechanical skin stimulation – an effect identified in previous imaging studies of SI cortex in anesthetized non-human primates (e.g., Simons et al., 2005; Tommerdahl et al., 2002; Whitsel et al., 1989).

description: Liquid scintillating phantoms have been proposed as a means to perform real-time 3D dosimetry for proton therapy treatment plan verification. We have studied what effect radiation damage to the scintillator will have upon this application. We have performed measurements of the degradation of the light yield and optical attenuation length of liquid scintillator and water-based liquid scintillator after irradiation by 201 MeV proton beams that deposited doses of approximately 52 Gy, 300 Gy, and 800 Gy in the scintillator. Liquid scintillator and water-based liquid scintillator (composed of $5\%$ scintillating phase) exhibit light yield reductions of $1.74 \pm 0.55 \%$ and $1.31 \pm 0.59 \%$ after $\approx$ 800 Gy of proton dose, respectively. Whilst some increased optical attenuation was observed in the irradiated samples, the measured reduction to the light yield is also due to damage to the scintillation light production. Based on our results and conservative estimates of the expected dose in a clinical context, a scintillating phantom used for proton therapy treatment plan verification would exhibit a systematic light yield reduction of approximately $0.1\%$ after a year of operation.

description: We point out that neutrino oscillations imply an ambiguity in the definition of the vacuum and the coupling to gravity, with experimentally observable consequences due to the Unruh effect. In an accelerating frame, the detector should see a bath of mass Eigenstates neutrinos. In inertial processes, neutrinos are produced and absorbed as charge Eigenstates. The two cannot be reconciled by a spacetime coordinate transformation. This makes manifestations of the Unruh effect in neutrino physics a promising probe of both neutrinos and fundamental quantum field theory. In this respect, we suggest $p\rightarrow n +\ell^+ + {ν_\ell}$ ($\ell^+ = e^+, μ^+, τ^+$) transitions in strong electromagnetic fields as a promising avenue of investigation. In this essay we discuss this process both in the inertial and comoving frame, we briefly describe the experimental realization and its challenges, and close by speculating on possible results of such an experiment in different scenarios of fundamental neutrino physics

title: Transmigrant Motherhood Identities: Colombian Mothers in the United States

Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: The experiences of Latin American mothers from privileged backgrounds who live with their children, hold strong transnational ties, and are separated from the communities that can provide support in their motherhood journey has been understudied in the United States. This study looks at how migrant mothers with strong connections with their country of origin and destination think of themselves as mothers.
Using sociological theoretical and methodological approaches, I investigate the practices and beliefs about motherhood of a groups of 32 highly educated Colombian transmigrant mother and 14 of their closest living relative in Colombia. I conducted in-depth interviews with migrant mothers in the United States and their closest living relative in in Colombia. This allowed me to get a better understanding of the beliefs surrounding motherhood in Colombia.
There are three major parts in this study. The first part of the study investigated how mothers perceived migration as a liberating experience. Mothers defined “liberation” through how they lived class and gender relations while they lived in Colombia, combining them with the experience of being “Latinas” in the United States. I discuss how experiencing migration as liberation has the potential to generate social change around ideologies of race, gender, and class in origin and destination countries.
The second part of the study looked at how mothers’ class and race impact their migration history, motherhood identities, and childrearing practices. The findings dissect how Colombian transmigrant mothers seek to distance themselves from stereotypes that surround being “Latina” in the United States, by using Colombian beliefs around class.
The last part of the study, discusses how mothers’ beliefs and practices are shaped by the values received from Colombia and the United States. I discuss the role of their closest living relative and the transnational provision of care in relation to the beliefs around motherhood and how it changes through generations. I find that mothers actively defy and appropriate culturally-based definitions of motherhood in their daily practices to configure their practices and understandings of motherhood.

description: The discriminative stimulus properties of ethanol are functionally regulated by ionotropic GABAA and NMDA receptors in specific limbic brain regions including the nucleus accumbens, amygdala, and hippocampus, as determined by microinjection studies. The purpose of the present work was to further investigate potential neural substrates of ethanol’s discriminative stimulus effects by examining if ethanol discrimination learning produces changes in brain regional response to ethanol. To accomplish this goal, immunohistochemistry was used to assess the effects of ethanol (2 g/kg) on c-Fos immunoreactivity (Fos-IR). Comparisons in ethanol-induced Fos-IR were made between a group of rats that was trained to discriminate the stimulus properties of ethanol (2 g/kg, IG) from water (IG) and a drug/behavior-matched control group that did not receive differential reinforcement for lever selection, which precluded acquisition of discriminative stimulus control by ethanol. In some brain regions discrimination training had no effect on ethanol-induced Fos-IR changes (caudate putamen, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, and CA1 region of the hippocampus). In contrast, discrimination training altered the pattern of ethanol-induced Fos-IR in the nucleus accumbens (core), medial septum, and the hippocampus (dentate and CA3). These results indicate that having behavior under the stimulus control of ethanol can change ethanol-induced Fos-IR in some brain regions. This suggests that learning about the subjective properties of ethanol produces adaptive changes in how the brain responds to acute ethanol exposure.

description: We present HI observations of the Sculptor Group starburst spiral galaxy NGC 253, obtained with the Karoo Array Telescope (KAT-7). KAT-7 is a pathfinder for the SKA precursor MeerKAT, under construction. The short baselines and low system temperature of the telescope make it very sensitive to large scale, low surface brightness emission. The KAT-7 observations detected 33% more flux than previous VLA observations, mainly in the outer parts and in the halo for a total HI mass of $2.1 \pm 0.1$ $\times 10^{9}$ M$_{\odot}$. HI can be found at large distances perpendicular to the plane out to projected distances of ~9-10 kpc away from the nucleus and ~13-14 kpc at the edge of the disk. A novel technique, based on interactive profile fitting, was used to separate the main disk gas from the anomalous (halo) gas. The rotation curve (RC) derived for the HI disk confirms that it is declining in the outer parts, as seen in previous optical Fabry-Perot measurements. As for the anomalous component, its RC has a very shallow gradient in the inner parts and turns over at the same radius as the disk, kinematically lagging by ~100 km/sec. The kinematics of the observed extra planar gas is compatible with an outflow due to the central starburst and galactic fountains in the outer parts. However, the gas kinematics shows no evidence for inflow. Analysis of the near-IR WISE data, shows clearly that the star formation rate (SFR) is compatible with the starburst nature of NGC 253.

description: We study the dynamics of capital accumulation, income inequality, capital concentration, and voting up to 1914. Based on new panel data for Prussian regions, we re-evaluate the famous Revisionism Debate between orthodox Marxists and their critics. We show that changes in capital accumulation led to a rise in the capital share and income inequality, as predicted by orthodox Marxists. But against their predictions, this did neither lead to further capital concentration nor to more votes for the socialists. Instead, trade unions and strike activity limited income inequality and fostered political support for socialism, as argued by the Revisionists.

title: Co-Creating Culturally Inclusive Climate Change Programming: A Qualitative Study With Indigenous Populations in Southeast Utah
Creators: name: Hanson, Bayli R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: This study explores the impact of climate change on underrepresented communities, particularly Indigenous populations in the Colorado Plateau region, and the negative effects on their cultural identities and traditional practices. Despite their knowledge and connection to the land, Indigenous communities are experiencing climate change at a more extreme rate due to their geographical location and the lasting impacts of settler colonialism. The study aims to better understand Indigenous perspectives of climate change, co-create a climate change curriculum with Indigenous populations in southeastern Utah, and apply it to an Indigenous-centric field experience. By incorporating traditional ecological knowledge and Western science practices, this curriculum will better prepare students to engage in climate change decisions and adaptation efforts. The study highlights the need to work with traditional knowledge and experience to implement climate change adaptation strategies more efficiently among Indigenous communities.

description: Rapid developments of the AI domain has revolutionized the computing industry by the introduction of state-of-art AI architectures. This growth is also accompanied by a massive increase in the power consumption. Near-Theshold Computing (NTC) has emerged as a viable solution by offering significant savings in power consumption paving the way for an energy efficient design paradigm. However, these benefits are accompanied by a deterioration in performance due to the severe process variation and slower transistor switching at Near-Threshold operation. These problems severely restrict the usage of Near-Threshold operation in commercial applications. In this work, a novel AI architecture, Tensor Processing Unit, operating at NTC is thoroughly investigated to tackle the issues hindering system performance. Research problems are demonstrated in a scientific manner and unique opportunities are explored to propose novel design methodologies.
title: Using Computational Fluid Dynamics for Predicting Hydraulic Performance of Arced Labyrinth Weirs

description: Our world is dynamic and as hydrologic research continues, the magnitude of flood estimates used in hydraulic design for reservoirs has increased. Consequently, many existing spillways are now undersized and unable to meet discharge requirements. These spillways often have a fixed footprint, so nonlinear weirs (e.g., labyrinth weirs) are often a viable solution. For reservoir applications, arcing labyrinth weirs in plan view increases hydraulic efficiency because of better cycle orientation to the approaching flow from the reservoir. This study supplements available physical arced labyrinth weir hydraulic data by observing flow characteristics of two numerical models (α=16°; θ=10° and α=20°; θ=30°). Both numerical models were developed using two commercially available CFD software. The purpose of the CFD analysis was to assess the appropriateness of default settings in a CFD model and to better understand CFD as a design tool for arced labyrinth weir rating curve development. Results determined that default settings are not always appropriate for a rating curve. For arced labyrinth weirs, CFD can be a useful tool for implementing site-specific conditions; however, CFD models should be calibrated to reliable laboratory or field data. This study’s data may be used, with sound engineering judgement, to aid in the design of arced labyrinth weirs.

description: Effects of the direct NMDA agonist (tetrazol-5-yl)glycine (TZG) were examined in a genetic mouse model of reduced NMDA receptor function. In this model, expression of the NR1 subunit is reduced but not eliminated and the mice are therefore designated as NR1 hypomorphic. Previous work suggested that the reduced NR1 subunit expression produced a functional subsensitivity as judged by a blunted Fos induction response to a sub-seizure dose of TZG. In the present study seizure threshold doses of TZG were tested in the wild type and mutant mice. Surprisingly, there was no difference in the seizure sensitivity between the wild type mice and mice presumed to express very low levels of the NR1 subunit. An extensive neuroanatomical analysis of Fos induction was conducted after the threshold seizure doses of TZG. The results demonstrate that some brain regions of the NR1 -/- mice exhibit much lower Fos induction in comparison to the NR1 +/+ mice. These regions include hippocampus, amygdala, and cerebral cortical regions. However, in other regions, similar induction of Fos was observed in both genotypes in response to the NMDA agonist. Regions showing similar Fos induction in the NR1 +/+ and NR1 -/- mice include the lateral septum, nucleus of the solitary tract, and medial hypothalamic regions. The results suggest that the NMDA receptor hypofunction in the NR1 -/- mice is not global but regionally specific and that subcortical structures are responsible for the seizure-inducing effects of TZG.

description: Let $G$ be a topological group, let $ϕ$ be a continuous endomorphism of $G$ and let $H$ be a closed $ϕ$-invariant subgroup of $G$. We study whether the topological entropy is an additive invariant, that is, $$h_{top}(ϕ)=h_{top}(ϕ\restriction_H)+h_{top}(\barϕ)\,,$$ where $\barϕ:G/H\to G/H$ is the map induced by $ϕ$. We concentrate on the case when $G$ is locally compact totally disconnected and $H$ is either compact or normal. Under these hypotheses, we show that the above additivity property holds true whenever $ϕH=H$ and $\ker(ϕ)\leq H$. As an application we give a dynamical interpretation of the scale $s(ϕ)$, by showing that $\log s(ϕ)$ is the topological entropy of a suitable map induced by $ϕ$. Finally, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the equality $\log s(ϕ)=h_{top}(ϕ)$ to hold.

description: The overlapping distribution of spinal neurons activated with either pudendal sensory nerve or pelvic nerve stimulation was examined in the female rat using c-fos immunohistochemistry. Pudendal sensory nerve stimulation resulted in a significant increase in fos-positive cells in the ipsilateral dorsal horn and bilaterally in the medial, lateral and intermediate gray of L5-S1. Pelvic nerve stimulation resulted in significant increases of c-fos immunoreactive nuclei in the ipsilateral dorsal horn, lateral and intermediate gray and bilaterally in the medial gray of L5-S1. Co-distribution of fos immunoreactive nuclei with the vesicular glutamate transporters (VGlut2 and VGlut3) and neurokinin I receptors were found in distinct regions of the dorsal horn, medial and lateral gray. Specific areas in the medial dorsal horn, dorsal gray commissure, laminae VI and X and dorsal lateral gray were activated after stimulation of the pudendal sensory and pelvic nerves, suggesting these areas contain spinal neurons that receive both somatomotor and visceral inputs and are part of the intraspinal circuit that regulates sexual and voiding function.
