Background and Objective: Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a major polyphenolic component of coffee. Reduction in the risk of a variety of diseases following CGA consumption has been mentioned in recent studies. The effect of CGA on learning and memory in rats with cognitive deficit induced by intracerebroventricular streptozotocin (STZ) and  acetylchoinesterase (AChE) activity was evaluated in this s...

SUMMARY We have examined the localization and activity of the neural circuitry that generates swimming behavior in developing zebrafish that were spinalized to isolate the spinal cord from descending brain inputs. We found that addition of the excitatory amino acid agonist N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) to spinalized zebrafish at three days in development induced repeating episodes of rhythmic tai...

This paper studies the relationship between disjunctive form, a syntactic normal form for the modal μ calculus, and the alternation hierarchy. First it shows that all disjunctive formulas which have equivalent tableau have the same syntactic alternation depth. However, tableau equivalence only preserves alternation depth for the disjunctive fragment: there are disjunctive formulas with arbitrar...

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been implicated in the maintenance of task-relevant information during goal-directed behavior. Using a combination of lesions, local inactivation, and optogenetics, we investigated the functional role of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in mice with a novel operant delayed alternation task. Task difficulty was manipulated by changing the duration of the delay ...

[6.8]3Cyclacene is an interesting belt-like structure displaying aromatic-non-aromatic alternation, which is useful to gain an understanding of the intramolecular and intermolecular interactions between the anisotropic cones in the magnetic behavior of such rings. From the analysis of certain components in an induced magnetic field and (13)C-NMR shielding under its own principal axis system (PA...

34 The prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been implicated in the maintenance of task-relevant information 35 during goal-directed behavior. Using a combination of lesions, local inactivation, and 36 optogenetics, we investigated the functional role of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in mice 37 using a novel operant delayed alternation task. Task difficulty was manipulated by changing the 38 durati...

Neuronal avalanches, measured in vitro and in vivo, exhibit a robust critical behavior. Their temporal organization hides the presence of correlations. Here we present experimental measurements of the waiting time distribution between successive avalanches in the rat cortex in vitro. This exhibits a nonmonotonic behavior not usually found in other natural processes. Numerical simulations provid...
