    A crucial role of the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid subtype of glutamate receptors in piriform and perirhinal cortex for the initiation and propagation of limbic motor seizures

    The role of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA) receptors in the initiation and propagation of limbic motor seizures in rats was examined by the intracerebral and systemic administration of 2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoylbenzo (f) quinoxaline (NBQX), a selective antagonist of the AMPA subtype of glutamate receptor. Limbic motor seizures were evoked focally by the application of the gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor antagonist, bicuculline, into area tempestas, an epileptogenic site in the deep anterior piriform cortex, Before eliciting seizures, NBQX was applied focally into either 1) area tempestas or 2) perirhinal or posterior piriform cortex ipsilateral to the area tempestas from which seizures were evoked. In addition, pretreatment with i.p. NBQX was evaluated for anticonvulsant actions against area tempestas-evoked clonic or systemically evoked tonic seizures. In all conditions, a dose-dependent decrease in the severity of seizures was obtained with NBQX. With focal intracerebral administration, a dose of 500 pmol of NBQX consistently protected against limbic motor seizures, with partial protection achieved with 100 pmol. After i.p. administration, 2.5 and 5.0 mg/kg significantly protected the rats from both limbic motor seizures and tonic extensor seizures. No overt disturbance of spontaneous behavior was associated with the anticonvulsant doses of NBQX, Moreover, both forebrain substrates of limbic motor seizures and hind-brain substrates of tonic extensor seizures were highly susceptible to disruption by NBQX. The results indicate that AMPA subtype of glutamate receptors are crucial mediators of seizure propagation via perirhinal and piriform cortics

    Posterior piriform and perirhinal cortex relay seizures evoked from the area tempestas: role of excitatory and inhibitory amino acid receptors

    The functional relationship between the area tempestas (AT), an epileptogenic site within the deep prepiriform cortex, and the regions in the posterior piriform cortex which are innervated by AT, were studied in the rat. The GABA(A) receptor agonist, muscimol (390 pmol) was microinjected unilaterally into the posterior piriform cortex and adjacent regions in the same hemisphere from which seizures were evoked by focal application of bicuculline into AT. Pretreatment with muscimol into either the ventral posterior piriform cortex or perirhinal cortex, protected against the bilateral clonic seizures evoked from the ipsilateral AT, No seizure protection was obtained when muscimol was placed into adjacent areas of amygdala, entorhinal cortex, neocortex and ventral hippocampus. Seizure protection was also obtained when kynurenic acid, but not 2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid, was microinjected into the ventral posterior piriform cortex, suggesting that glutamate transmission mediated via non-N-methyl-D-aspartate (non-NMDA) receptors is required for the relay of seizure discharge through this region. Our data indicate that a specific region of the temporal cortex, the posterior piriform and perirhinal area, funtions as a critical link in the propagation of limbic seizures evoked from AT

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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
