This paper describes one of the first attempts to analyze the synaptic basis for the release of an animal’s fixed action pattern, which controls a behavior such as the crayfish escape response. It is also one of the early demonstrations that the neural mechanisms of a simple form of learning, known as habituation, are located in the central synapses of the neural circuit that produced the behav...

Drcrrar voLTMETERS DTFFER BASTcALLy from the commonly used analog voltmeters in one respect-their display or readout is a numeric display rather than a meter indication.

We study earnings mobility and instability using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. Our main contribution is to update mobility and instability calculations to include data from the 1990s, although we also provide a number of tests of robustness across mobility and instability indicators and sample definition. All in all, we find few trends in earnings mobility and instability that p...

Before the first seeding on 18 August, the maximum speed of winds at 3600 meters was 182 kilometers per hour, but, 5 hours after the f...
