We compute surface brightness profiles of galactic disks for outwardly propagating waves of star formation with a view to investigate the stellar populations in ring galaxies. We consider two mechanisms which can create outwardly propagating star forming rings in a purely gaseous disk — a self-induced wave and a density wave. We show that the surface brightness profiles produced by both scenari...

In an effort to establish relationships between cell physiology and morphology in the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN), intracellular single-unit recording and marking experiments were conducted on decerebrate gerbils using horseradish peroxidase (HRP)- or neurobiotin-filled micropipettes. Intracellular responses to acoustic (tone and broadband noise bursts) and electric current-pulse stimuli were...

Cartwheel cells are glycinergic interneurons that modify somatosensory input to the dorsal cochlear nucleus. They are characterized by firing of mixtures of both simple and complex action potentials. To understand what ion channels determine the generation of these two types of spike waveforms, we recorded from cartwheel cells using the gramicidin perforated-patch technique in brain slices of m...

The dorsal cochlear nucleus integrates acoustic with multimodal sensory inputs from widespread areas of the brain. Multimodal inputs are brought to spiny dendrites of fusiform and cartwheel cells in the molecular layer by parallel fibers through synapses that are subject to long-term potentiation and long-term depression. Acoustic cues are brought to smooth dendrites of fusiform cells in the de...

We here present the results from a detailed analysis of nebular abundances commonly observed ions in collisional ring galaxy Cartwheel using Very Large Telescope (VLT) Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) dataset. The includes 221 HII regions star-forming ring, addition to 40 relatively fainter H$\alpha$ emitting spokes, disk and inner ring. ionic He, N, O Fe are obtained direct method (DM)...
