节律性听觉刺激下的神经振荡同步化及其应用

大脑的感觉、情绪、认知等功能与其神经振荡模式有密切的联系。通过施加节律性刺激可以调控大脑的神经振荡模式,进而影响个体感受、情绪状态和认知功能等。与近年来常见的非侵入性电刺激和磁刺激相比,同样依赖于外部刺激输入的节律性感觉刺激具有成本低、易操作等优点,被认为是一种极具潜力的神经调控手段。本文以节律性听觉刺激为例,系统综述了不同类型的节律性听觉刺激如何影响大脑的神经振荡模式,进而影响相关状态和功能;并通过总结外部节律性听觉刺激对个体感知觉、情绪与认知功能的影响,讨论其生理机制和应用前景。

国家公园类型划分与空间识别——以云南省为例

国家公园是我国推进生态文明建设的重大制度创新,如何科学地对国家公园进行类型划分及空间识别,是国家公园布局和建设中的基础性工作,既有必要性也有紧迫性。本研究以中国国情为基础,参考国际经验,将国家公园划分为荒野导向型、生态优先型、游憩导向型与遗产导向型,构建了一个比较完整的国家公园分类体系。并以自然和人文多样化程度较高的云南为案例,以“双评价”为基础建立了一套指标体系和区划规则,利用人工神经网络建立土地利用演化学习算法,利用融入自适应惯性机制的元胞自动机展开时空模拟,对云南全域进行高分辨率不同类型国家公园的空间辨识,并通过收缩-膨胀原理对识别区域进行比较、修正和优化,进而提出未来云南国家公园布局的综合方案。结果表明: 云南省国家公园主要集中在三江地区与横断山区、滇西以及西南部地区,这3类地区可作为未来国家公园区划与分类保护的重点。本研究所建立的国家公园类型划分和空间识别的一般性可推广的研究范式和工作流程可作为全国应用的参考。     

N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Palladium Polymers Network: Recyclable Pre-catalyst for Effective Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling Reaction in Water

Rational design of high-efficiency N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) palladium catalyst is of great importance to modern organic synthesis, especially in chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Herein, we fabricate a polymer network containing N-heterocyclic carbene palladium (PNNHC-Pd) catalytic active sites via an immobilization process. The N-heterocyclic carbene palladium can serve as a promising linkage of polymer network as well as an effective catalytic active site owing to its structural preference and strong σ-donating ability with palladium species. The results display that N-heterocyclic carbene palladium disperses homogeneously in polymer network, thus rendering PNNHC-Pd excellent catalytic activity, high stability and superior reusability in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction in aqueous medium. This work provides a new insight into the development of heterogenization of homogeneous catalysts based on polymer network.     

Changing synaptic specificities in the nervous system of Caenorhabditis elegans: Differentiation of the DD motoneurons

During postembryonic development, the DD motoneurons in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans completely reorganize their pattern of synapses. Ablation of a pair of embryonic precursors results in the absence of this entire class of motoneurons. In their absence animals exhibit two developmentally distinct locomotory defects. The transition period from one defect to the other is correlated with the synaptic reorganization of the DD mns. Mutations in a gene (unc-123) have been isolated that exhibit locomotory defects similar to those of the ablated adult animals. Genetic and cellular analyses of one of these alleles suggest that the unc-123 gene product may be involved in the reestablishment of functional synapses in these neurons. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Neuronal specificity and its development in the Drosophila wing disc and its derivatives

The imaginal wing disc of flies gives rise to the adult wing blade and dorsal thorax (notum). A great deal has been learned in recent years about the process of neurogenesis in this disc; a number of genes that play crucial roles in the formation of sensory mother cells and in the differentiation of the sensory organs have been identified and their roles defined. Given this extensive background of developmental genetics, it has seemed profitable to summarize what is known about the end-products of neural development, the adult sensory organs. Discussed are their physiological function and role in behavior, the pathways followed by their axons in the CNS, and both genes and epigenetic processes that might play some role in the later stages of neural development and in adult function. The highly individual characteristics of certain of the sensory organs is emphasized, both in the context of their adult roles and as a challenge for future studies in developmental genetics. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Induction and axial patterning of the neural plate: Planar and vertical signals

In this review I summarize recent findings on the contributions of different cell groups to the formation of the basic plan of the nervous system of vertebrate embryos. Midline cells of the mesoderm—the organizer, notochord, and prechordal plate—and midline cells of the neural ectoderm—the notoplate and floor plate—appear to have a fundamental role in the induction and patterning of the neural plate. Vertical signals acting across tissue layers and planar signals acting through the neural epithelium have distinct roles and cooperate in induction and pattern formation. Whereas the prechordal plate and notochord have distinct vertical signaling properties, the initial anteroposterior (A-P) pattern of the neural plate may be induced by planar signals originating from the organizer region. Planar signals from the notoplate may also contribute to the mediolateral (M-L) patterning of the neural plate. These and other findings suggest a general view of neural induction and axial patterning. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
