Differential projections from the cochlear nucleus to the inferior colliculus in the mouse
The cochlear nucleus (CN) is often regarded as the gateway to the central auditory system because it initiates all ascending pathways. The CN consists of dorsal and ventral divisions (DCN and VCN, respectively), and whereas the DCN functions in the ...

Inputs and Outputs of the Mammalian Circadian Clock
Circadian rhythms in mammals are coordinated by the central circadian pacemaker, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Light and other environmental inputs change the timing of the SCN neural network oscillator, which, in turn, sends output signals that ...

Review on Strain Monitoring of Aircraft Using Optical Fibre Sensor [PDF]
Structural health monitoring of aircraft assures safety, integrity and reduces cost-related concerns by reducing the number of times maintenance is required. Under aerodynamic loading, aircraft is subjected to strain, in turn causing damage and breakdown.

A visual pathway for skylight polarization processing in Drosophila
Many insects use patterns of polarized light in the sky to orient and navigate. Here, we functionally characterize neural circuitry in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, that conveys polarized light signals from the eye to the central complex, a ...

The giant escape neurons of crayfish: Past discoveries and present opportunities
Crayfish are equipped with two prominent neural circuits that control rapid, stereotyped escape behaviors. Central to these circuits are bilateral pairs of giant neurons that transverse the nervous system and generate escape tail-flips in opposite ...

The transcription factor BCL11A defines distinct subsets of midbrain dopaminergic neurons
Summary: Midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons are diverse in their projection targets, effect on behavior, and susceptibility to neurodegeneration. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms establishing this diversity during development. We show that

Heindorf et al. (2018) report that motor cortex plays a key role in behavioral tasks that rely on continuous sensory feedback. They propose a layer-based circuit that might be of particular importance when coping with unexpected perturbations in dynamic environments.

Elasticity in circuits and systems provides tolerance to variations in computation and communication delays. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of elastic circuits for those designers who are mainly familiar with synchronous design. Elasticity can be implemented both synchronously and asynchronously, although it was traditionally more often ...

How Histories make Geographies
Cultural objects move with increasing speed across regional and national boundaries resulting in an ever faster, volatile traffic in commodities, styles and information. This essay explores the resulting global cultural flows and networks that develop in
