Frontiers in Neural Circuits www.frontiersin.org May 2010 | Volume 4 | Article 12 | 1 clature for morphological, physiological and molecular features was agreed upon by the Petilla Interneuron Nomenclature Group (Ascoli et al., 2008). Among GABAergic interneurons, those expressing the neuropeptide somatostatin (SOM) are particularly heterogeneous in their molecular, morphological and electrophy...

Sigmoidal fold and fault geometries are typical kinematic indicators of strike-slip zones. We document kilometer-scale, normal faults with sigmoidal plan-view within the dextral pull-apart Bahia Basin, at rear obliquely convergent South Caribbean Deformed Belt, offshore Colombia. Using 3D seismic reflection data calibrated to wells, closely spaced, low-displacement, planar mapped Miocene strata...

There is an error in the Materials and Methods section of this paper. Section 6, “Identification of Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) -derived Genes in Foc1 and Foc4,” should not appear. In addition, Lijia Guo is incorrectly designated as the corresponding author. The correct corresponding authors are: Junsheng Huang ([email protected]), Ming Peng ([email protected]), and Xiaodong Fang (fangxd@g...

Genetic control programs for scrapie in sheep build on solid knowledge of how susceptibility to scrapie is modulated by the prion protein genotype at the level of an individual sheep. In order to satisfactorily analyze the effectivity of control programs at the population level, insight is needed at the flock level, i.e., how the grouping of sheep in flocks affects the population-level transmis...

The visualization of a computerized tomographic (TC) exam in 3D increases the quality of the medical diagnosis and, consequently, the success probability in the treatment. To obtain a high quality image it is necessary to obtain slices which are close to one another. Motivated towards the goal of reaching an improved balance between quantity of slices and visualization quality, this research wo...
