    A novel paradigm for testing the initial coding of hierarchical relationships within the medial temporal lobe in a circuit specific manner

    The Medial Temporal Lobe (MTL) is central to spatial navigation and to the processing of conceptual associations, functions which can be implemented via the grid cell system. Evidence exists that also hierarchical processing - an integral part of cognitive capacities such as language, motor action and sequential planning - draws on the MTL. This raises the question of whether hierarchical processing shares the same cellular substrate with spatial navigation and concept association formation. Here we present two novel tasks (hierarchy and control) specifically designed to test (using fMRI) whether grid cells also support the representation of hierarchical relations. We present the first results of their behavioral validation with respect to specificity, and show that our hierarchical task, but not the control task, correlates well with other tasks that necessitate hierarchical processing (Tower of Hanoi and a Visual Recursion Task). Furthermore, we show that some of these effects remain even when removing the shared variance that can be explained by a range of unspecific factors. This gives reason to believe that our task is a valid method for probing the relationship between grid cells and hierarchical processing

    Get PDF
    This bibliography lists 775 reports, articles, and other documents introduced into the NASA scientific and technical information system between January 1 and March 31, 1978. Emphasis is placed on the use of remote sensing and geophysical instrumentation in spacecraft and aircraft to survey and inventory natural resources and urban areas. Subject matter is grouped according to agriculture and forestry, environmental changes and cultural resources, geodesy and cartography, geology and mineral resources, hydrology and water management, data processing and distribution systems, instrumentation and sensors, and economic analysis

    Cooperative Radio Communications for Green Smart Environments

    Get PDF
    The demand for mobile connectivity is continuously increasing, and by 2020 Mobile and Wireless Communications will serve not only very dense populations of mobile phones and nomadic computers, but also the expected multiplicity of devices and sensors located in machines, vehicles, health systems and city infrastructures. Future Mobile Networks are then faced with many new scenarios and use cases, which will load the networks with different data traffic patterns, in new or shared spectrum bands, creating new specific requirements. This book addresses both the techniques to model, analyse and optimise the radio links and transmission systems in such scenarios, together with the most advanced radio access, resource management and mobile networking technologies. This text summarises the work performed by more than 500 researchers from more than 120 institutions in Europe, America and Asia, from both academia and industries, within the framework of the COST IC1004 Action on "Cooperative Radio Communications for Green and Smart Environments". The book will have appeal to graduates and researchers in the Radio Communications area, and also to engineers working in the Wireless industry. Topics discussed in this book include: • Radio waves propagation phenomena in diverse urban, indoor, vehicular and body environments• Measurements, characterization, and modelling of radio channels beyond 4G networks• Key issues in Vehicle (V2X) communication• Wireless Body Area Networks, including specific Radio Channel Models for WBANs• Energy efficiency and resource management enhancements in Radio Access Networks• Definitions and models for the virtualised and cloud RAN architectures• Advances on feasible indoor localization and tracking techniques• Recent findings and innovations in antenna systems for communications• Physical Layer Network Coding for next generation wireless systems• Methods and techniques for MIMO Over the Air (OTA) testin
