It is well accepted that head direction properties are generated through a ring attractor that is updated using rotation self-motion cues. The properties and origin of this self-motion velocity drive remain, however, unknown. We propose a unified, quantitative framework whereby the attractor velocity input represents a multisensory self-motion estimate computed through an internal model that uses sensory prediction error based on vestibular, visual, and somatosensory cues to improve on-line motor drive. We show how context- dependent strength of recurrent connections within the attractor itself, rather than the self- motion input, explain differences in head direction cell firing between free foraging and restrained movements. We also summarize recent findings on how head tilt relative to gravity influences the azimuth coding of head direction cells, and explain why and how these effects reflect an updating self-motion velocity drive that is not purely egocentric.

  • May-Britt Moser Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway
    Grid Cells, Place Cells and Memory Nobel Lecture, 7 December 2014 by May-Britt Moser Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway. n 7 December 2014 I gave the most prestigious lecture I have given in O my life—the Nobel Prize Lecture in Medicine or Physiology. Afer lectures by my former mentor John O’Keefe and my close colleague of more than 30 years, Edvard Moser, the audience was still completely engaged, wonderful and responsive. I was so excited to walk out on the stage, and proud to present new and exciting data from our lab. Te title of my talk was: “Grid cells, place cells and memory.” Te long-term vision of my lab is to understand how higher cognitive func- tions are generated by neural activity. At frst glance, this seems like an over- ambitious goal. President Barack Obama expressed our current lack of knowl- edge about the workings of the brain when he announced the Brain Initiative last year. He said: “As humans, we can identify galaxies light years away; we can study particles smaller than an atom. But we still haven’t unlocked the mystery of the three pounds of matter that sits between our ears.” Will these mysteries remain secrets forever, or can we unlock them? What did Obama say when he was elected President? “Yes, we can!” To illustrate that the impossible is possible, I started my lecture by showing a movie with a cute mouse that struggled to bring a biscuit over an edge and home to its nest. Te biscuit was almost bigger than the mouse itself.

Box 999 Woodbine, Georgia 31569 912-673-9309 - Telephone 912-576-7154 – Facsimile H-1 DRAFT 13 June 2007 JEKYLL ISLAND CONSERVATION PLAN FLORAL & FAUNAL LISTS INTRODUCTION This section of the plan contains lists of plants, selected invertebrate, fish, amphibian, reptile, bird, mammal species that may be associated with Jekyll Island. For some taxonomic groups, specifically the invertebrates, fish, birds, and marine mammals, the area includes Jekyll Island and the nearshore waters, while for the other groups the list is pretty much a list of species that may actually occur on the island. For most of the lists, the species are labeled as verified to occur on the island, probably occur on the island (but not verified), or could occur on the island. Verification in this instance was through simple observation by one of the team member or other reliable person with a background in the species being considered, available field notes, literature review, or historically collected specimen. Released animals from the Jekyll Island Club and plantation eras that are not extant today, but have historic records are also noted in some of the lists. H-2 DRAFT 13 June 2007 PLANTS This list of vascular plants occurring in the undeveloped portions of Jekyll Island was compiled from literature reviews, limited herbarium records, and visits to the island. The roughly 845 species on this list have either been verified (V) to occur on the island, probably (P) occur on the island and can be verified with additional field work, or could (C) occur on the island.

  • Filth Flies General Information There Are About 160,000 Known Species of Flies
    Status ☑ Can transmit pathogens on its body ☑ Possible health threat Filth Flies General Information There are about 160,000 known species of flies. They are found everywhere in the world — even in Antarctica. Flies have only two wings and belong to the order of insects called Diptera, which means “two wings.” Many flies are beneficial; several are involved in plant pollination, others are predators or parasites of other insects. Flies that reproduce in animal excrement, food waste, and garbage are called filth flies. Two common species are house flies and bottle flies. Filth flies are a nuisance as well as carriers of organisms that cause diseases in humans and domestic animals. Life Cycle Flies have four stages in their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. In a period of two weeks, one filth fly may lay more than 1,000 eggs in animal excrement, garbage, kitchen refuse, piled lawn clippings, and other decomposing plant and Green Bottle Fly animal matter. In warm weather, the life cycle (egg to adult) usually takes eight days. Due to this amazing reproductive capacity, tremendous populations can occur when the right environmental conditions are present. In situations where flies are breeding prolifically, their populations can quickly reach How Can I Get Rid of Filth Flies? very high numbers and they become major nuisance pests in • Eliminate potential sources of food and odors. parks, schools, and neighborhoods. • Place garbage in plastic bags inside of trash cans. • Keep trash lids closed. • Dispose of trash at least every seven days. • Pick up outdoor pet droppings regularly and place them in sealed plastic bags.
