Assessment of soil-structure interaction on a 51-story building from the spectral ratio of earthquake recordings

The soil-structure interaction (SSI) can significantly alter the characteristics of recorded motions in buildings.The ratio of Fourier amplitude spectrum of the top-story accelerations to that of the foundation accelerations permits the identification of the natural frequency of the fixed-base building.In this study, records of the Chi-Chi earthqua

Paradoxical effects of posterior intralaminar thalamic calretinin neurons on hippocampal seizure via distinct downstream circuits

Summary: Epilepsy is a circuit-level brain disorder characterized by hyperexcitatory seizures with unclear mechanisms.Here, we investigated the causal roles of calretinin (CR) neurons in the posterior intralaminar thalamic nucleus (PIL) in hippocampal seizures.Using c-fos mapping and calcium fiber photometry, we found that PIL CR neurons were activ
