The ISN President’s Column
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 8th ICN: The largest item looming on the agenda for the ISN is our upcoming Congress in Vancouver (July 22-27). I can tell you that we are in excellent hands with Barb Beltz chairing the Congress Committee and Cathy Rankin as the Chair of the local organizing committee. Ron Harris-Warrick and Sten Grillner are the Congress Vice-Chairs. These folks, with excellent advice from the membership and the Council, have put together an outstanding program of invited lectures and symposia. Cathy has done an unbelievable job of arranging for housing and meeting rooms at the University of British Columbia. This has been a real labor of love for all these folks and even with considerably more help for the T H I S I S S U E I N C L U D E S

Effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine and substance P on neurons of the inferior salivatory nucleus.
The parasympathetic secretomotor innervation of the salivary glands originates from a longitudinal column of neurons in the medulla called the salivatory nucleus. The neurons innervating the parotid and von Ebner salivary glands are situated in the caudal extremity of the column designated as the inferior salivatory nucleus (ISN). Immunocytochemical investigations have demonstrated the presence...
متن کاملInhibition stabilized cortical network models contrast dependence of cortical rhythms in the visual cortex
Cortical functions arise from excitatory recurrent connections and strong interactions between the principal excitatory and local inhibitory interneurons. What is the dynamic behavior of these networks and in what regime do they operate? Experiments in the hippocampus (Tsodyks et al, 1997) as well as the visual cortex (Ozeki et al, 2009) point to an inhibition stabilized regime of the E-I netwo...
متن کاملEmpowerment of young nephrologists in developing countries: the role of the ISN Young Nephrologists Committee
The International Society of Nephrology (ISN) established the Young Nephrologists Committee (YNC) in 2007 to increase the awareness of the ISN mission and activities among younger nephrologists and thus increase their involvement. One of the primary aims of the YNC is to empower young nephrologists from developing countries by providing education and mentoring support. This is being achieved by...
متن کاملSome remarks on the combinatorics of ISn
We describe the asymptotic behavior of the cardinalities of the finite symmetric inverse semigroup ISn and its endomorphism semigroup. This is applied to show that |ISn|/|End(ISn)| is asymptotically 0, solving a problem of Schein and Teclezghi. We also apply our results to compute the distributions of elements from ISn with respect to certain combinatorial properties, and to compute the generat...
متن کاملCombinatorics and distributions of partial injections
We obtain several combinatorial results about chains, cycles and orbits of the elements of the symmetric inverse semigroup ISn and the set Tn of nilpotent elements in ISn. We also get some estimates for the growth of |ISn| and |Tn|, and study random products of elements from ISn.
