EFFECTS OF THE CONCOMITANT ACTIVATION OF ON AND OFF RETINAL GANGLION CELLS ON THE VISUAL THALAMUS: EVIDENCE FOR AN ENHANCED RECRUITMENT OF GABAERGIC CELLS

Effects of the concomitant activation of ON and OFF retinal ganglion cells on the visual thalamus: evidence for an enhanced recruitment of GABAergic cells

A fundamental question in vision neuroscience is how parallel processing of Retinal Ganglion Cell (RGC) signals is integrated at the level of the visual thalamus.It is well known that parallel ON-OFF pathways generate output signals from the retina that are conveyed to the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN).However, it is unclear how these si

Assessment of Dynamic Bayesian Models for Gas Turbine Diagnostics, Part 2: Discrimination of Gradual Degradation and Rapid Faults

There are many challenges that an effective diagnostic system must overcome for successful fault diagnosis in gas turbines.Among others, it Tape has to be robust to engine-to-engine variations in the fleet, it has to discriminate between gradual deterioration and abrupt faults, and it has to identify sensor faults correctly and be robust in case of

Home range utilisation and territorial behaviour of lions (Panthera leo) on Karongwe Game Reserve, South Africa.

Interventionist conservation management of territorial large carnivores has increased in recent years, especially in South Africa.Understanding of spatial ecology is an important component of predator conservation and management.Spatial patterns are influenced by many, often interacting, factors making elucidation of key drivers difficult.We had th
