The consolidation of memories for places and events is thought to rely, at the network level, on the replay of spatially tuned neuronal firing patterns representing discrete places and spatial trajectories. This occurs in the hippocampal-entorhinal circuit during sharp wave ripple events (SWRs) that occur during sleep or rest. Here, we review theoretical models of lingering place cell excitabil...

Places are inherently dynamic. The boundaries of administrative regions (e.g., provinces and countries) and natural regions (e.g., coastlines, ecosystems, mountains, ice sheets, tectonic plates) can alter over time, as can their names. Cities have a daily influx and egress of people and vehicles, buildings go up and down, streets sometimes get repaired, added, etc. Even when a place persists, i...

the present study aims at locating the appropriate site for the training of medical students. it is argued that in community oriented medical education the training of medical students should take place where more patients come for consultation. this will result in students having a greater exposure to patients with a variety of medical problems. in order to find out the places where more patie...

Endoscopes are used in a variety of medical specialties, from otolaryngology to obstetrics and gynecology and even gastroenterology. Doctors use endoscopes in order to get a better glimpse of the internal linings of the human body. In otolaryngology, the doctor places the tip of the scope into the nose and starts in the nasal cavity. From here, the doctor pushes the scope further into the patie...

lies in their springs, which are usually hot and hold in solution large quantities of mineral organic and gaseous matters, to which for centuries their healing power has been ascribed. The modern view, however, tends to attribute the beneficial effects of these places to change of environment, rest, disciplined exercise, diet and habits of life, rather than to any special therapeutic power of t...
