Unraveling the interplay between connectivity and spatio-temporal dynamics in neuronal networks is a key step to advance our understanding of neuronal information processing.Here we investigate how particular features of network connectivity underpin the propensity of neural networks to generate slow-switching assembly (SSA) dynamics, i.e., sustain
Activities of the summer party of the 44th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition, Marine Science Cruise 2003
The summer activities of the 44th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-44) in 2002-2003 on board the Antarctic research vessel Shirase and at and around Syowa Station, Antarctica are reported.JARE-44 members on board the Shirase included forty members of the wintering party and seventeen members of the summer party.The summer party and wint
Excess glucose inhibits the cotyledon greening of etiolated seedlings
The capability of the transition from skotomorphogenesis-to-photomorphogenesis (de-etiolation) is requisite for seedling survival and development.However, how carbohydrate in germinating seeds controls seedling de-etiolation remains unclear.Mu et al.(2022) investigated the regulatory roles of soluble sugars (such as, glucose or sucrose) on de-etiol
Citizen Science as a Tool for Conservation in Residential Ecosystems
Human activities, such as mining, forestry, and agriculture, strongly influence processes in natural systems.Because conservation has focused on managing and protecting wildlands, research has focused on understanding the indirect influence of these human activities on wildlands.Although a conservation focus on wildlands is critically important, th
