Modulating the granularity of category formation by global cortical states

The unsupervised categorization of sensory stimuli is typically attributed to feedforward processing in a hierarchy of cortical areas. This purely sensory-driven view of cortical processing, however, ignores any internal modulation, e.g., by top-down attentional signals or neuromodulator release. To isolate the role of internal signaling on category formation, we consider an unbroken continuum of stimuli without intrinsic category boundaries. We show that a competitive network, shaped by recurrent inhibition and endowed with Hebbian and homeostatic synaptic plasticity, can enforce stimulus categorization. The degree of competition is internally controlled by the neuronal gain and the strength of inhibition. Strong competition leads to the formation of many attracting network states, each being evoked by a distinct subset of stimuli and representing a category. Weak competition allows more neurons to be co-active, resulting in fewer but larger categories. We conclude that the granularity of cortical category formation, i.e., the number and size of emerging categories, is not simply determined by the richness of the stimulus environment, but rather by some global internal signal modulating the network dynamics. The model also explains the salient non-additivity of visual object representation observed in the monkey inferotemporal (IT) cortex. Furthermore, it offers an explanation of a previously observed, demand-dependent modulation of IT activity on a stimulus categorization task and of categorization-related cognitive deficits in schizophrenic patients.

Abundance of mesozooplankton in the western part of the Black Sea in summer 1998 during the National Monitoring Programme

The dataset is based on samples collected in the summer of 1998 in the Western Black Sea in front of Bulgaria coast. The whole dataset is composed of 69 samples (from 22 stations of National Monitoring Grid) with data of mesozooplankton species composition abundance and biomass. Samples were collected in discrete layers 0-10, 0-20, 0-50, 10-25, 25-50, 50-100 and from bottom up to the surface at depths depending on water column stratification and the thermocline depth. Zooplankton samples were collected with vertical closing Juday net,diameter - 36cm, mesh size 150 µm. Tows were performed from surface down to bottom meters depths in discrete layers. Samples were preserved by a 4% formaldehyde sea water buffered solution. Sampling volume was estimated by multiplying the mouth area with the wire length. Mesozooplankton abundance: The collected material was analysed using the method of Domov (1959). Samples were brought to volume of 25-30 ml depending upon zooplankton density and mixed intensively until all organisms were distributed randomly in the sample volume. After that 5 ml of sample was taken and poured in the counting chamber which is a rectangle form for taxomomic identification and count. Large (> 1 mm body length) and not abundant species were calculated in whole sample. Counting and measuring of organisms were made in the Dimov chamber under the stereomicroscope to the lowest taxon possible. Taxonomic identification was done at the Institute of Oceanology by Lyudmila Kamburska using the relevant taxonomic literature (Mordukhay-Boltovskoy, F.D. (Ed.). 1968, 1969,1972). Taxon-specific abundance: The collected material was analysed using the method of Domov (1959). Samples were brought to volume of 25-30 ml depending upon zooplankton density and mixed intensively until all organisms were distributed randomly in the sample volume. After that 5 ml of sample was taken and poured in the counting chamber which is a rectangle form for taxomomic identification and count. Copepods and Cladoceras were identified and enumerated; the other mesozooplankters were identified and enumerated at higher taxonomic level (commonly named as mesozooplankton groups). Large (> 1 mm body length) and not abundant species were calculated in whole sample. Counting and measuring of organisms were made in the Dimov chamber under the stereomicroscope to the lowest taxon possible.

Economía e ideología en el franquismo : tensiones entre utopía y pragmatismo 1945 -1970

El presente trabajo enfoca desde una perspectiva comparativa y analítica algunos aspectos de la economía y la sociedad españolas durante años especialmente interesantes de la dictadura franquista. Se efectúa una revisión de la ideología con la que el régimen pretendió encarar, a través de un proyecto autárquico, inicialmente muy marcado por el modelo fascista, el despegue económico de España y los virajes posteriores originados en las tensiones surgidas en el seno de la sociedad y de los paradigmas externos que marcaban el rumbo hacia una integración de bloques. Como fecha límite de este estudio se presentan los últimos años de la década del '60, puesto que parecen constituir el cierre de un ciclo. En cuestiones ideológico-políticas ese cierre estuvo signado por el ascenso del almirante Carrero Blanco a una posición clave y la sustitución de los viejos falangistas por un grupo más homogéneo de "tecnócratas" del capitalismo moderno. En materia económica también se completó entonces un período de crecimiento sin precedentes en la economía española que hacia 1973/74 entró en una meseta, parte de la crisis cíclica compartida por la economía mundial.

La política educativa implementada durante el primer año del "Proceso de Reorganización Nacional" : Contradicciones y límites

Durante la última dictadura argentina, existieron límites políticos, económicos y sociales a las intenciones en materia educativa del bloque en el poder. El propósito de este artículo es presentar ejemplos en esa dirección a partir del análisis de la política educativa implementada durante el primer año del autodenominado "Proceso de Reorganización Nacional". Estudiaremos las gestiones del contralmirante César Guzzetti y el profesor Ricardo Bruera. Atenderemos la relación entre objetivos propuestos y resultados. Asimismo, focalizaremos en las contradicciones y límites de cada una de ellas

Salinity and concentrations of organic carbon in bays of the White Sea

Organic carbon in bays of the White Sea was studied for the first time in 1987. Bays of various types in the Kandalaksha Gulf and the Onega Gulf were investigated. Concentration of C_org ranged from 3.5 to 9 mg/l. The highest weighted-mean concentration of C_org occurred in shallow bays of the Onega Gulf (Suma Bay - 6.17 mg/l, Kolezhma Bay - 5.25 mg/1); slightly lower levels occurred in the Soroka Bay (4.85 mg/l) and Kem' Bay (4.78 mg/l). The lowest concentrations were in deep bays of the Kandalaksha Gulf (Chupa Bay - 4.35 mg/l, Velikaya Salma Bay - 4.10 mg/l). As a rule C_org concentration decreases with depth in deep-water bays (but increases slightly in the thermocline layer). The key factor governing organic matter concentration in the bays of the Onega Gulf with river runoff is allochthonous terrigenous organic matter, as indicated by negative correlation of C_org with salinity (R=-0.83+/-0.07, p=0.96) and nonsignificant correlation with primary production.
