Sensory systems play important roles in inducing a variety of responses that are critical to the survival of individuals and species. Neural circuits are generated by a combination of activity dependent and independent processes. The basic architecture of sensory systems is built before birth based on a genetic program. However, the neural maps and circuits are further refined after birth in an activity-dependent manner. If the system is left unstimulated in neonates, its function is permanently impaired and cannot be recovered even when it is stimulated after the critical period.
The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, since its inception, has been recognized as a cornerstone of heterocyclic chemistry. Each volume attempts to discuss all aspects – properties, synthesis, reactions, physiological and industrial significance – of a specific ring system. To keep the series up-to-date, supplementary volumes covering the recent literature on each individual ring system have been published. Many ring systems (such as pyridines and oxazoles) are treated in distinct books, each consisting of separate volumes or parts dealing with different individual topics. With all authors are recognized authorities, the Chemistry of Heterocyclic Chemistry is considered worldwide as the indispensable resource for organic, bioorganic, and medicinal chemists.
This open access book describes marked advances in imaging technology that have enabled the visualization of phenomena in ways formerly believed to be completelyimpossible. These technologies have made major contributions to the elucidation of the pathology of diseases as well as to their diagnosis and therapy. The volume presents various studies from molecular imaging to clinical imaging. It also focuses on innovative, creative, advanced research that gives full play to imaging technology inthe broad sense, while exploring cross-disciplinary areas in which individual research fields interact and pursuing the development of new techniques where they fuse together. The book is separated into ...

This publication focuses on Sanaas housing projects, both finished works and unrealized projects. SANAA's architecture embraces complexities within deceptively simple appearances. It has many elements that are impossible to understand unless one actually experiences it. In contrast with modern architecture, SANAA has many aspects that cannot be revealed in representative media such as plans, models, and photographs. The representations of their architectural works incorporate ambiguity and chronological elements. This characteristic makes Sanaa one of the most innovative and productive offices in the current architectural panorama. This publication focuses on Sanaas housing projects, both finished (House in Plum Grove, Moriyama House, Moriyama House, Flower House and Small House), and unrealised projects (Ichikawa apartments, House in China, Hachobori, Orkurayama).
2005 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Basho's Haiku offers the most comprehensive translation yet of the poetry of Japanese writer Matsuo Bashō (1644–1694), who is credited with perfecting and popularizing the haiku form of poetry. One of the most widely read Japanese writers, both within his own country and worldwide, Bashō is especially beloved by those who appreciate nature and those who practice Zen Buddhism. Born into the samurai class, Bashō rejected that world after the death of his master and became a wandering poet and teacher. During his travels across Japan, he became a lay Zen monk and studied history and classical poetry. His poems contained a mystical quality and expresse...
