Although hippocampal interneurons typically do not show discrete regions of elevated firing in an environment, such as seen in pyramidal cell place fields, they do exhibit significant spatial modulation (McNaughton et al., 1983a). Strong monosynaptic coupling between pyramidal neurons and nearby interneurons in the CA1 stratum pyramidale has been strongly implicated on the basis of significant,...

As Intelligent Environments research continues in its various guises, there is an increase in the scale at which investigation is being conducted. Projects are looking beyond single-room and apartment sized living-labs that have provided us with initial testbeds for early research and are envisioning grander designs on the scale of entire buildings, campus or towns. But now we must ask if the k...

today, there are many concepts such as a sense of place and attachment to place presented in architecture and urban literature in the field of environmental studies. meanwhile, relationship between the two is not much explained. this study defines the concept of sense of place and attachment to place and the factors influencing them followed by providing a four- dimensional model derived from s...

M1 muscarinic receptor has been shown to be involved in cognitive functions of the brain. Conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm involves memory for the association between environmental stimuli and the rewarding properties produced by a treatment. Using a balanced CPP design, we studied the possible involvement of M1 muscarinic receptors on the acquisition, expression and consolidation of...
