Signal transduction in the nervous system: The 2000 Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine

contain thick columns of recent river deposits and the deposits in and around Burdwan are saturated with shallow groundwater. A relook into the velocity– depth section in light of some specific indications in the record sections of SPs 5, 6, 7 and 8 suggests probable presence of hidden faults (F2′ F3′ and F3) below the basement in the zone between Sonamukhi–Khandaghosh and Khandaghosh– Burdwan. The suggested fault zone of this area and other en-echelon faults (Figure 2) can be locales for release of accumulated stresses, if any. As such it is suggested that seismic surveillance could be of some definite use to understand the seismicity of this region, especially in view of its proximity to the known highly seismic north-eastern segment of the Indian continent.
