system (1). The studies of Killam (2) and Killam and Bain (3), whieh used convulsant hydrazides and demonstrated thatr GABA has an inhibitory function in the CNS, suggested a role for GABA in neurotoxicology. There are two types of GABA receptors, GABIVA and GABAB, The GABAA receptor is a membrane bound eomplex consisting of at least three binding sites for GABA, benzodiazepines, the barbiturate!picrotoxin or t-butylbicyclophosphorothion-

An Autonomous Robot Controller with Learned Behavior
| This paper describes a novel control architecture for autonomous robots, called \Cerebellar Adaptive Modular Behavior" (CAMB). A CAMB controller is a dynamical system of behavior-oriented modules, similar in principle to the subsumption architecture. The behavior of the robot is emergent from the interaction of these modules. Neural network units (based on the CMAC) are added to allow the dis...
متن کاملCaryocar brasiliense camb protects against genomic and oxidative damage in urethane-induced lung carcinogenesis
The antioxidant effects of Caryocar brasiliense Camb, commonly known as the pequi fruit, have not been evaluated to determine their protective effects against oxidative damage in lung carcinogenesis. In the present study, we evaluated the role of pequi fruit against urethane-induced DNA damage and oxidative stress in forty 8-12 week old male BALB/C mice. An in vivo comet assay was performed to ...
متن کاملRecombinogenic effects of the aqueous extract of pulp from pequi fruit (Caryocar brasiliense) on somatic cells of Drosophila melanogaster.
Caryocar brasiliense Camb. is a tree popularly known in Central Brazil as pequi. Its fruit contains carotenes, retinols, vitamin C, and polyphenols. These compounds possess antioxidant properties preventing excessive free radical formation and modulating the genotoxicity of physical and chemical agents in the body. However, at high concentrations these compounds can have recombinogenic and muta...
متن کاملEvaluation of the cytotoxicity and phototoxicity of Caryocar brasiliense supercritical carbon dioxide extract
BACKGROUND Caryocar brasiliense Camb (Pequi) is a typical Brazilian Cerrado fruit tree. Its fruit is used as a vitamin source for culinary purposes and as a source of oil for the manufacture of cosmetics. C. brasiliense supercritical CO2 extracts exhibit antimicrobial activity against the bacteria Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus and also possess antioxidant a...
متن کاملMorphological Patterns of a Hymenopteran Gall on the Leaflets of Caryocar brasiliense Camb. (Caryocaraceae)
Anatomical studies in the leaflet globoid galls of Caryocar brasiliense, the “pequi”, aimed to answer how oviposition and the feeding behavior of the galling herbivores altered the morphogenetical patterns of the host plant. C. brasiliense globoid gall was (1.28 ± 0.20) mm × (0.90 ± 0.25) mm, with hairy surface; it is sessile and projected to the abaxial surface. Young galls were red while the ...
