The distribution and morphology of neurons containing somatostatin (SOM) was investigated in the amygdala (CA) of the pig. The SOM-immunoreactive (SOM-IR) cell bodies and fibres were present in all subdivisions of the porcine CA, however, their number and density varied depending on the nucleus studied. The highest density of SOM-positive somata was observed in the layer III of the cortical nuc...

Understanding the role of soil organic matter (SOM) in soil quality and subsequent crop yield and input requirements is useful for agricultural sustainability. SOM is widely considered to affect a wide range of soil properties, however, great uncertainty still remains in identifying the relationships between SOM and crop yield due to the difficulty in separating the effect of SOM from other yie...

A previous study showed that SOMNUS (SOM), which encodes a C3H-type zinc finger protein, is a key negative regulator of seed germination that acts downstream of PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR3-LIKE5 (PIL5). However, it was not determined if PIL5 is the sole regulator of SOM expression. Public microarray data suggest that the expression of SOM mRNA is regulated also by ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE3...

Somatostatin (SOM) is a widely distributed peptide in the central nervous system and exerts a variety of hormonal and neural actions. Although SOM is assumed to play an important role in spinal nociceptive processing, its exact function remains unclear. In fact, earlier pharmacological studies have provided results that support either a facilitatory or inhibitory role for SOM in nociception. In...

In this paper, two generalizations of the SOM are introduced. The first of these extends the SOM to deal with more generalized classes of objects besides the vector dataset. This generalization is realized by employing modular networks instead of reference vector units and is thus called a modular network SOM (mnSOM). The second generalization involves the extension of the SOM from ‘map’ to ‘ho...

This chapter provides an overview on the self-organised map (SOM) in the context of manifold mapping. It first reviews the background of the SOM and issues on its cost function and topology measures. Then its variant, the visualisation induced SOM (ViSOM) proposed for preserving local metric on the map, is introduced and reviewed for data visualisation. The relationships among the SOM, ViSOM, m...
