Synaptic depression: a dynamic regulator of synaptic communication with varied functional roles

Article Abstract:

Studies have shown the synaptic depression has the potential to contribute to the properties and functions of neural networks. A theoretical model, for example, posits a relation between the amount of transmitter released and the depression in cortical cells. This potential, howver, is difficult to prove because experimentation will involve modifying the degree of syntaptic depressions within a network and documenting the effects of the changes on the output of the network. Future studies will have to establish the mechanisms of synaptic depression.

Plain lessons from the Punjab

Article Abstract:

Three nurses from an English hospital visited the Shalamar Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan. The brief of the English nurses, during their three month stay, was to develop the nursing practice of the 80 qualified nurses working at the Shalamar, but the English nurses also felt they derived benefits from the visit. The English nurses were able to influence some specific changes in practices, and staff at the Pakistani hospital began to question and evaluate their actions and routines.
