Ontogeny of central serotonergic neurons in the directly developing frog, Eleutherodactylus coqui

Embryonic development of the central serotonergic neurons in the directly developing frog, Eleutherodactylus coqui , was determined by using immunocytochemistry. The majority of anuran amphibians (frogs) possess a larval stage (tadpole) that undergoes metamorphosis, a dramatic post-embryonic event, whereby the tadpole transforms into the adult phenotype. Directly developing frogs have evolved a derived life-history mode where the tadpole stage has been deleted and embryos develop directly into the adult bauplan. Embryonic development in E. coqui is classified into 15 stages (TS 1–15; 1 = oviposition / 15 = hatching). Serotonergic immunoreactivity was initially detected at TS 6 in the raphe nuclei in the developing rhombencephalon. At TS 7, immunopositive perikarya were observed in the paraventricular organ in the hypothalamus and reticular nuclei in the hindbrain. Development of the serotonergic system was steady and gradual during mid-embryogenesis. However, starting at TS 13 there was a substantial increase in the number of serotonergic neurons in the paraventricular, raphe, and reticular nuclei, a large increase in the number of varicose fibers, and a differentiation of the reticular nuclei in the hindbrain. Consequentially, E. coqui displayed a well-developed central serotonergic system prior to hatching (TS 15). In comparison, the serotonergic system in metamorphic frogs typically starts to develop earlier but the surge of development that transpires in this system occurs post-embryonically, during metamorphosis, and not in the latter stages of embryogenesis, as it does in E. coqui . Overall, the serotonergic development in E. coqui is similar to the other vertebrates.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/47526/1/429_2005_Article_22.pd

Toeplitz operators on the Bergman harmonic space and truncated Toeplitz operators of finite rank

Dans la première partie de la thèse, nous donnons les résultats classiques concernant l’espace de Hardy, les espaces modèles et les espaces de Bergman analytique et harmonique. Les notions de base telles que les projections et les noyaux reproduisant y sont introduites. Nous exposons ensuite nos résultats concernant d’une part, la stabilité du produit et la commutativité de deux opérateurs de Toeplitz quasihomogènes et d’autre part, la description matricielle des opérateurs de Toeplitz tronqués du type "a" "dans le cas de la dimension finie.In the first part of the thesis,we give some classical results concerning theHardy space, models spaces and analytic and harmonic Bergman spaces. The basic concepts such as projections and reproducing kernels are introduced. We then describe our results on the the stability of the product and the commutativity of two quasihomogeneous Toeplitz operators on the harmonic Bergman space. Finally, we give the matrix description of truncated Toeplitz operators of type "a" in the finite dimensional case

On the commutativity of a certain class of Toeplitz operators

One of the major goals in the theory of Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space over the unit disk D in the complex place C is to completely describe the commutant of a given Toeplitz operator, that is, the set of all Toeplitz operators that commute with it. Here we shall study the commutants of a certain class of quasihomogeneous Toeplitz operators defined on the harmonic Bergman space
