PRESERVATION IN MICROBIAL MATS: MINERALIZATION BY A TALC-LIKE PHASE OF A FISH EMBEDDED IN A MICROBIAL SARCOPHAGUS

Preservation in microbial mats: mineralization by a talc-like phase of a fish embedded in a microbial sarcophagus

Microbial mats have been repeatedly suggested to promote early fossilization of macroorganisms.Yet, experimental simulations of this process remain scarce.Here, we report results of 5 year-long Rear Console Cover experiments performed onfish carcasses to document the influence of microbial mats on mineral precipitation during early fossilization.Ca

Isolated Vascular Vertigo

Strokes in the distribution of the posterior circulation may present with vertigo, imbalance, and nystagmus.Although the vertigo due to a posterior circulation stroke is usually associated with other neurologic symptoms or Baby Gift Set signs, small infarcts involving the cerebellum or brainstem can develop vertigo without other localizing symptoms

High density laminar recordings reveal cell type and layer specific responses to infrared neural stimulation in the rat neocortex

Abstract Infrared neural stimulation has consistently shown that temperature is a critical neuronal state variable.However, a comprehensive understanding of the biophysical background is essential.In this study, using high-density laminar electrode recordings, we investigated the impact of pulsed and continuous-wave infrared illumination on cortica
