Using genetically-defined rodent strains for the identification of hippocampal traits relevant for two-way avoidance behavior: a non-invasive approach

Summary Genetically-defined rodent strains permit the identification of hippocampal traits which are of functional relevance for the performance of two-way avoidance behavior. This is exemplified here by analyzing the relationship between infrapyramidal mossy fibers (a tiny projection terminating upon the basal dendrites of hippocampal pyramidal neurons) and two-way avoidance learning in about 800 animals. The necessary steps include 1) identification of structural traits sensitive to selective breeding for extremes in two-way avoidance, 2) testing the robustness of the associations found by studying individual and genetical correlations between hippocampal traits and behavior, 3) establishing causal relationships by Mendelian crossing of strains with extreme structural traits and studying the behavioral consequences of such structural randomization, 4) confirming causal relationships by manipulating the structural variable in inbred (isogenic) strains, thereby eliminating the possibility of genetic linkage, and 5) ruling out the possibility of spurious associations by studying the correlations between the hippocampal trait and other behaviors known to depend on hippocampal functioning.In comparison with the classical lesion approach for identifying relationships between brain and behavior, the present procedure appears to be superior in two aspects: it is non-invasive, and it focuses automatically on those brain traits which are used by natural selection to shape behaviorally-defined animal populations, i.e., it reveals the natural regulators of behavior.

中国银杏种植业良种化进程的思路

阐述良种化的概念和意义;根据我国银杏生产发展的现状,提出中国银杏种植业现阶段良种化的进程是：加快产区良种选育和新发展区良种引种试验,加快良种苗木繁殖体系建设,用良种接穗改造低产劣种株,同时稳步发展良种苗种植;认为银杏在现阶段只宜采用科学的选择育种方式。     

灰胸竹鸡人工繁殖的研究

１９９５年１０月至１９９７年１０月对野生灰胸竹鸡（Ｂａｍｂｕｓｉｃｏｌａｔｈｏｒａｃｉｃａ）进行了人工繁殖的研究,结果为：产卵期４月下旬至７月下旬;卵的平均质量在（１５±２）ｇ之间;最佳孵化温度、相对湿度：１～１４ｄ内,温度为３８℃,相对湿度６５％～７０％;１５～１８ｄ内,温度降到３７℃,相对湿度７５％;雏鸟的生长模型为：ｍ＝２６２／（１＋ｅ２．６１－０．０３７ｔ）．

热力学第三定律不允许时空存在奇点

热力学第三定律被推广到包括温度上限的新形式,它禁止时空奇点的存在,第三定律不允许“时间开始”和“时间终结”。广义相对论本质上是一个绝对零度的引力理论。     

第三定律与时间的“端点”

通过对奇民性和大范围时空热性质的讨论,指出奇点定理是破缺广义热力学第三定律的结果。广义第三定律表明,时间没有开始和结束。     

白马鸡配对期两性行为的比较

2003年4月和2004年4月在四川省稻城县著杰寺采用瞬时扫描取样法对野生白马鸡(Crossoptilon crossoptilon)配偶行为进行了研究.结果表明,白马鸡配偶中雌、雄个体全天伴随活动,无特殊情况不会分离.在不受其他个体干扰的情况下,配偶移动时雌性多在前并控制移动方向.雌、雄鸟间距离平均为(1.75±0.03)m,在雄性驱逐其他个体时间距最大.在全天行为记录中,雄性警戒的时间最多,之后依次为取食、移动、驱逐、站立、休息和其他行为.雌性在一天中行为时间分配依次为取食、移动、休息、站立、警戒和其他行为.驱逐行为完全由雄性承担.两性共有行为中雄性用于警戒的时间显著高于雌性(P<0.05),用于取食、休息的时间显著低于雌性(P<0.05),用于移动和站立的时间与雌性差异不显著(P>0.05).
