Neocortical Interneurons: From Diversity, Strength

Interneurons in the neocortex of the brain are small, locally projecting inhibitory GABAergic cells with a broad array of anatomical and physiological properties. The diversity of interneurons is believed to be crucial for regulating myriad operations in the neocortex. Here, we describe current theories about how interneuron diversity may support distinct neocortical processes that underlie per...

Chapter Four

The growth stage of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) at the time of inoculation was determined to be a factor in the severity of seed coat mottling caused by Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV, Genus Comovirus, Family Comoviridae). The virus caused seed coat mottling, and reduced seed size and seed weight. The effects of different isolates of BPMV on seed coat mottling in soybean were found to vary ...

Chapter Four

This chapter describes the results of the data collection procedures delineated in Chapter Three. The survey response is presented first and includes steps in a Follow-up Telephone Interview (FTI), a description of the population, subsequent sample, and the follow-up interview respondents, followed by the results. The three research questions in this study were 1) What does the research indicat...

CHAPTER FOUR PROTACTINIUM Boris

Protactinium, element 91, is one of the most rare of the naturally occurring elements and may well be the most difficult of all to extract from natural sources. Protactinium is, formally, the third element of the actinide series and the first having a 5f electron. The superconducting properties of protactinium metal provide clear evidence that Pa is a true actinide element (Smith et al., 1979)....
