Scopes and trends of Antarctic invertebrate faunal research with special reference to Southern ocean, east Antarctica and Schirmacher oasis

450-454The Southern Ocean and Antarctica have been the focus of intense scientific study during the 20th century. But much scientific works has been accorded to oceanography and marine sciences than to terrestrial and lacustrine fauna of Antarctica. From the French Coquille expedition (1922-1925) to early 1990, it has been observed that, scientific research of Antarctic invertebrate fauna mostly restricted with their taxonomy, physiology, ecology and biology. It has also been observed that, maximum studies and publications have been made from maritime and sub-Antarctic Islands in contrast to East Antarctica and particularly the Schirmacher oaisis. The trends of scientific research mostly conducted on the responses of organisms to long-term environmental change

Reward and Novelty Enhance Imagination of Future Events in a Motivational-Episodic Network.

Thinking about personal future events is a fundamental cognitive process that helps us make choices in daily life. We investigated how the imagination of episodic future events is influenced by implicit motivational factors known to guide decision making. In a two-day functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study, we controlled learned reward association and stimulus novelty by pre-familiarizing participants with two sets of words in a reward learning task. Words were repeatedly presented and consistently followed by monetary reward or no monetary outcome. One day later, participants imagined personal future events based on previously rewarded, unrewarded and novel words. Reward association enhanced the perceived vividness of the imagined scenes. Reward and novelty-based construction of future events were associated with higher activation of the motivational system (striatum and substantia nigra/ ventral tegmental area) and hippocampus, and functional connectivity between these areas increased during imagination of events based on reward-associated and novel words. These data indicate that implicit past motivational experience contributes to our expectation of what the future holds in store

December 1957.The International Labour and Radical History Pamphlet Collection consists of over 2200 pamphlets representing a broad spectrum of leftist opinion, including communists, socialists, liberal reformers, trade unionists, civil libertarians and antiwar activists. The majority of the pamphlets are in English and were published between 1920-1970 in the United States, the Soviet Union, Great Britain, Canada and China. There are also a number of earlier Fabian Society publications. Further information: http://www.library.mun.ca/asc/specialcollections/collections/radica

Experimental design.

<p>(A) Trial sequence for the reward task on day 1. Words were repeatedly presented to ensure familiarization and reward learning. Each word indicated whether subjects could win money for a correct response in the letter case discrimination task. In rewarded trials, subjects received win feedback (image of gold coins) for correct responses and no-win feedback (grey-scale, scrambled image) for incorrect responses. Neutral trials were always followed by no-win feedback. (B) Trial sequence for the future imagery task on day 2. A text instruction indicated the task to be performed (“imagine an event” or “find two words”). In imagery trials, participants closed their eyes after processing the instruction and cue word, constructed a future event associated with the cue word, then pressed a button and continued to imagine additional details for the event. An audio signal indicated the end of the imagery period. Subjects opened their eyes and provided self-paced ratings of the imagined event on five scales: difficulty, vividness, coherence, valence, and similarity to an existing memory.</p

Effects of reward and novelty on the imagination of future events.

<p>(A-D) Neural activity for imagination based on rewarded words compared to familiar neutral words during the construction phase of the task. In reward-based trials, activations were significantly higher (p < .05, SVC) in (A) left hippocampus (MNI peak coordinates -24, -22, -17), (B) right mPFC (MNI 6, 53, 25), (C) left ventral striatum (MNI -18, 5, -5) and (D) right SN/VTA (MNI 6, -22, -17). (E-G) Neural activity for imagination based on novel words compared to familiar neutral words during the construction phase of the task. In novel trials, activations were significantly higher in (E) left hippocampus (MNI -24, -25, -20), (F) right mPFC (MNI 9, 50, 31), and (G) right ventral striatum (MNI 15, 11, -5). Clusters are shown in ROI masks in neurological orientation at a display threshold of p < 0.005, uncorrected. To better localize SN/VTA activations, panel D displays an overlay onto an MT image (see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0143477#sec002" target="_blank">Experimental Procedures</a>).
