Role of the suprammamillary dentate gyrus network in physiological condition and in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy : an optogenetic approach
No full textLes épilepsies du lobe temporal médian sont parmi les formes les plus courantes d'épilepsie partielle pharmaco-résistante de l'adulte.Ces épilepsies sont caractérisées par la survenue de crises récurrentes spontanées associées à des décharges synchrones de populations neuronales générées par un réseau multi structural Zone Epileptogène. Le noyau supramammillaire (SuM) innervant tous les cortex limbiques. Chez le rat, il a été démontré qu’il était impliqué dans le contrôle des rythmes thêta de l’hippocampe et des fonctions associées telles que le sommeil paradoxal, ainsi que l’apprentissage et la mémoire émotionnelle. Il a été démontré que les projections des neurones de la région latérale du SuM (SuML) qui innervent le gyrus dentelé dorsal (dDG) présentent un phénotype unique à la foie GABAergique et Glutamatergique. De plus cette voie est réorganisée chez les animaux épileptiques. Dans cette thèse, nous démontrons que:Tous les neurones du SuML innervant le DG co-expriment les marqueurs pour les neurotransmissions GABAergique et glutamatergique. L'activation de cette voie augmente la puissance et la fréquence des oscillations thêta ainsi que la puissance du gamma,pendant le SP et induit la décharge des CGs.La population de neurones GABA / GLU du SuML innervant le dDG est hétérogène. Parmi ces neurones,70% contiennent la calrétinine et 30% n'en contiennent pas.Chez les souris épileptiques, la voie SuML-dDG est réorganisée . Nos résultats préliminaires utilisant les techniques d’optogénétique in vivo montrent que l'activation ou l'inactivation de cette voie ne modifie pas la durée de la crise. Cependant, cette voie module la variabilité de la contenu fréquentiel des crises.Mesial temporal lobe epilepsies are among the most common clinical forms of drug-resistant partial epilepsies in adults. These epilepsies are characterized by the occurrence of spontaneous recurrent seizures associated with excessive and hypersynchronous discharges of neuronal populations generated by a multi-structural epileptogenic zone involving several regions of the limbic system. The Supramammillary nucleus (SuM) is innervating all limbic cortex. In rat, it has been shown to be involved in the control of hippocampal theta rhythms and associated functions such as REM sleep as well as emotional learning and memory. More recently, it was shown that the projections from neurons of lateral region of the SuM (SuML) that innervate the dorsal dentate gyrus (DG) display a unique GABAergic and Glutamatergic neurotransmitter phenotype and this pathway is reorganized in epileptic animals. In this thesis,we demonstrated that: All the neurons from the SuML innervating the dDG co-express markers for both GABAergic and glutamatergic neurotransmissions. Activation of this pathway increases theta power and frequency as well as gamma power during REM sleep and induced net firing of some GCs. The population of GABA/GLU SuML neurons innervating the dDG is heterogeneous. Among these neurons 70% contain calretinin whereas 30% do not. In epileptic mice the SuML-dDG pathway is reorganized . Our preliminary results using in vivo optogenetic show that activation or inactivation of this pathway do not modify the seizure duration. However, this pathway modulates the variability of the seizure frequency content
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
