Hippocampal neurons that encode critical events during a delayed-nonmatch-to-sample (DNMS) task were proposed to have functional topography as demonstrated by Hampson et al. (1999b). Functional cell types (FCTs) that encode similar task features were located within alternating transverse segments along the hippocampal longitudinal axis. On this basis, Redish et al. (2001) suggested that firing ...

Intestinal spirochaetes have become recognized over the last 25 years as an important group of enteric pathogens. These bacteria cause disease in a variety of animal species, especially pigs, poultry, dogs and human beings (Hampson and Stanton, 1996). In pigs, the bacteria cause two well-recognized conditions, swine dysentery (SD), and intestinal spirochaetosis (IS) (Taylor et al., 1980; Hampso...

Phragmatobia Stephens is briefly reviewed and a diagnosis is provided. The South American species currently placed in Phragmatobia Stephens are revised to two new genera, Andesobia Schmidt and De Freina, gen. n., and Patagobia Schmidt and De Freina, gen. n. (subtribe Spilosomina). Both Andesobia and Patagobia exhibit adaptations to high altitude habitats, including micropterous females in Andes...
