    Description: Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common inherited form of intellectual disability disorder and a frequent cause of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is characterized by a high prevalence of sensory symptoms. Perturbations in the anatomical connectivity of neocortical circuits resulting in their functional defects have been hypothesized to contribute to the underlying etiology of these disorders. We tested this idea by probing alterations in the functional and structural connectivity of both local and long-ranging neocortical circuits in the Fmr1 –/y mouse model of FXS. To achieve this, we combined in vivo ultrahigh-field diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI, and viral tracing approaches in adult mice. Our results show an anatomical hyperconnectivity phenotype for the primary visual cortex (V1), but a disproportional low connectivity of V1 with other neocortical regions. These structural data are supported by defects in the structural integrity of the subcortical white matter in the anterior and posterior forebrain. These anatomical alterations might contribute to the observed functional decoupling across neocortical regions. We therefore identify FXS as a "connectopathy," providing a translational model for understanding sensory processing defects and functional decoupling of neocortical areas in FXS and ASD.

    Description: Key Points Development and verification of an analytical routine for in situ stable silicon isotope composition analysis of phytoliths based on fsLA‐MC‐ICP‐MS. Screening phytolith populations from plant extracts showed a heterogeneous δ30Si composition, with variations of up to 2%. Soil extracted phytoliths underwent an amalgamation, diminishing information on phytolith heterogeneity. Silicon is a beneficial element for many plants and is deposited in plant tissue as amorphous bio‐opal called phytoliths. The biochemical processes of silicon uptake and precipitation induce isotope fractionation: the mass‐dependent shift in the relative abundances of the stable isotopes of silicon. At the bulk scale, δ30Si ratios span from −2 to +6‰. To further constrain these variations in situ, at the scale of individual phytolith fragments, we used femtosecond laser ablation multi‐collector inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (fsLA‐MC‐ICP‐MS). A variety of phytoliths from grasses, trees and ferns were prepared from plant tissue or extracted from soil. Good agreement between phytolith δ30Si ratios obtained by bulk solution MC‐ICP‐MS analysis and in situ isotope ratios from fsLA‐MC‐ICP‐MS validates the method. Bulk solution analyses result in at least twofold better precision for δ30Si (2s on reference materials ≤ 0.11‰) over that found for the means of in situ analyses (2s typically ≤ 0.24‰). We find that bushgrass, common reed and horsetail show large internal variations up to 2‰ in δ30Si, reflecting the various pathways of silicon from soil to deposition. Femtosecond laser ablation provides a means to identify the underlying processes involved in the formation of phytoliths using silicon isotope ratios.

    Description: We present new reference values for the NIST SRM 610–617 glasses following ISO guidelines and the International Association of Geoanalysts’ protocol. Uncertainties at the 95% confidence level (CL) have been determined for bulk- and micro-analytical purposes. In contrast to former compilation procedures, this approach delivers data that consider present-day requirements of data quality. New analytical data and the nearly complete data set of the GeoReM database were used for this study. Data quality was checked by the application of the Horwitz function and by a careful investigation of analytical procedures. We have determined quantitatively possible element inhomogeneities using different test portion masses of 1, 0.1 and 0.02 μg. Although avoiding the rim region of the glass wafers, we found moderate inhomogeneities of several chalcophile/siderophile elements and gross inhomogeneities of Ni, Se, Pd and Pt at small test portion masses. The extent of inhomogeneity was included in the determination of uncertainties. While the new reference values agree with the NIST certified values with the one exception of Mn in SRM 610, they typically differ by as much as 10% from the Pearce et al. (1997) values in current use. In a few cases (P, S, Cl, Ta, Re) the discrepancies are even higher. Nous présentons des nouvelles valeurs de référence pour les verres NIST SRM 610–617 en suivant les recommandations de l’ISO et le protocole de l’IAG. Les incertitudes au niveau de confiance de 95% ont été déterminées à des fins d’analyse totale et de micro-analyse. Contrairement aux procédures de compilation précédentes, cette approche fournit des données qui tiennent compte des exigences actuelles dans la qualité des données. De nouvelles données analytiques et le jeu de données presque complet de la base de données GeoReM ont été utilisés pour cette étude. La qualité des données a été vérifiée par l’application de la fonction de Horwitz et par un examen minutieux des procédures analytiques. Nous avons déterminé quantitativement les possibles inhomogénéités d’élément en utilisant des prises d’essai de masses différentes correspondant à 1, 0.1 et 0.02 μg. Bien que nous ayons évité les zones de bordure des disques de verre, nous avons trouvé des inhomogénéités modérées pour plusieurs éléments chalcophiles/sidérophiles et des inhomogénéités flagrantes de Ni, Se, Pd et Pt pour les prises d’essai de petites masses. La mesure d’inhomogénéité a été incluse dans la détermination des incertitudes. Alors que les nouvelles valeurs de référence sont en accord avec les valeurs NIST certifiées à la seule exception du Mn dans SRM 610, elles sont généralement différentes, avec des écarts de près de 10%, des valeurs de Pearce et al. (1997) qui sont d’un usage courant. Dans quelques cas (P, S, Cl, Ta, Re), les écarts sont encore plus élevés.

    Description: In a direct approach to elucidate the origin of long-term depression (LTD), glutamate was applied onto dendrites of neurons in rat neocortical slices. An infrared-guided laser stimulation was used to release glutamate from caged glutamate in the focal spot of an ultraviolet laser. A burst of light flashes caused an LTD-like depression of glutamate receptor responses, which was highly confined to the region of "tetanic" stimulation (〈10 micrometers). A similar depression of glutamate receptor responses was observed during LTD of synaptic transmission. A spatially highly specific postsynaptic mechanism can account for the LTD induced by glutamate release.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dodt, H -- Eder, M -- Frick, A -- Zieglgansberger, W -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Oct 1;286(5437):110-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Max-Planck-Institute of Psychiatry, Kraepelinstrasse 2, 80804 Munich, Germany. dodt@mpipsykl.mpg.de〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10506556" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Memories become labile when recalled. In humans and rodents alike, reactivated fear memories can be attenuated by disrupting reconsolidation with extinction training. Using functional brain imaging, we found that, after a conditioned fear memory was formed, reactivation and reconsolidation left a memory trace in the basolateral amygdala that predicted subsequent fear expression and was tightly coupled to activity in the fear circuit of the brain. In contrast, reactivation followed by disrupted reconsolidation suppressed fear, abolished the memory trace, and attenuated fear-circuit connectivity. Thus, as previously demonstrated in rodents, fear memory suppression resulting from behavioral disruption of reconsolidation is amygdala-dependent also in humans, which supports an evolutionarily conserved memory-update mechanism.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Agren, Thomas -- Engman, Jonas -- Frick, Andreas -- Bjorkstrand, Johannes -- Larsson, Elna-Marie -- Furmark, Tomas -- Fredrikson, Mats -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Sep 21;337(6101):1550-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Psychology, Uppsala University, SE-751 42 Uppsala, Sweden. thomas.agren@psyk.uu.se〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22997340" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description / Table of Contents: Nondestructive, Quantitative Evaluation of Internal Imperfections by Thermal Flux MethodThe thermal heat flux method with cholesterol liquid crystals to indicate the temperature is a nondestructive testing method, easy to handle and inexpensive. It is possible to inspect parts in the area. If the testing condition are chosen that there is thermal equilibrium the thermographs can be evaluated quantitative. This is the fact that the method not only detect a flaw but also the size and depth can be estimated.We will expect that the importance of thermography will grow up by the written improvement.
    Notes: Das Wärmeflußverfahren mit cholesterinischen Flüssigkristallfolien als Temperaturindikator ist ein einfach handhabbares, kostengünstiges zerstörungsfreies Prüfverfahren. Mit diesem Verfahren können Bauteile flächig auf Fehlstellen untersucht werden. Die bislang unberücksichtigte Möglichkeit im stationären thermischen Zustand zu prüfen, erlaubt die erhaltenen Thermogramme quantitativ auszuwerten. Dadurch kann aus den Thermogrammen Größe und Tiefenlage bestimmt werden. Es ist zu erwarten, daß die Bedeutung des beschriebenen thermographischen Verfahrens durch die erweiterte Aussagefähigkeit deutlich zunehmen wird.
