Discreet Charm of the GABAergic Bourgeoisie: Superconnected Cells Conduct Developmental Symphonies

Discreet Charm of the GABAergic Bourgeoisie: Superconnected Cells Conduct Developmental Symphonies

In an exciting study in the December 4(th) issue of Science, Bonifazi and colleagues demonstrated the existence and importance of exceedingly rare but unusually richly connected cells in the developing hippocampus. Manipulating the activity of single GABAergic hub cells modulated network activity patterns, demonstrating their importance for coordinating synchronous activity.

the effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation

in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.

Philosophy of Information, a New Renaissance and the Discreet Charm of the Computational Paradigm

The ontology of each theory is always embedded in natural language with all of its ambiguity. Attempts to automate the communication between different ontologies face the problem of compatibility of concepts with different semantic origins. Coming from different Universes, terms with the same spelling may have a continuum of meanings. The formalization problem met in the semantic web or ontolog...

The Picaro in Paris: ‘The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie’and the Picaresque Tradition

The Discrete Charm of the Bourgeoisie Quantum and Continuous Perspectives on Innovation and Growth

This paper discusses the relative merits of discrete vs. continuous perspectives on innovation, technical change, and economic growth. It discusses the innovation time series liteature in some detail to extract the continuous and clustering properties of the historical record on innovation. It then proposes a mosaic/avalanche model based on percolation theory and selforganized criticality to ad...
