In mammals, the central extended amygdala shows a highly complex organization, and is essential for animal survival due to its implication in fear responses. However, many aspects of its evolution are still unknown, and this structure is especially poorly understood in birds. The aim of this study was to define the central extended amygdala in chicken, by means of a battery of region-specific t...

Let π:P→Q be an affine projection map between two polytopesP and Q. Billera and Sturmfels introduced in 1992 the concept of polyhedral subdivisions of Q induced by π (or π-induced) and the fiber polytope of the projection: a polytope Σ(P,π) of dimension dim(P )−dim(Q) whose faces are in correspondence with the coherent π-induced subdivisions (or π-coherent subdivisions). In this paper we invest...

Let : P ! Q be an aane projection map between two polytopes P and Q. Billera and Sturmfels introduced in 1992 the concept of polyhedral subdivisions of Q induced by (or-induced) and the ber polytope of the projection: a polytope (P;) of dimension dim(P) ? dim(Q) whose faces are in correspondence with the coherent-induced subdivisions (or-coherent subdivisions). In this paper we investigate the ...

While much of Medical Anthropology was and is what we can call "Normal" (following Kuhn) Medical Anthropology, I coined the term Millennial Medical Anthropology for that branch of the discipline that, in the 1990s, was departing from the Normal research paradigms and was deserving of a distinct sobriquet. This paper considers the Strong Program in Medical Anthropology's Millennial Medical Anthr...

social and political culture can be conceived as a trend consisting of ethical rules as its stractur, scientific thought as its process and dynamic knowledge of facts as its agenda elhical rules are intedecd to solve structural problems, scientific that is aimed at gaining knowledge corresponding with the facts, and the agenenda is not affaring truth but reliable and dynamic knowledge of the fa...
