Focal developmental abnormalities in neocortex, including ectopic collections of neurons in layer I (ectopias), have been associated with behavioral and neurological deficits. In this study, we used infrared differential interference contrast microscopy and whole cell patch-clamp to complete the first characterization of neurons within and surrounding neocortical ectopias. Current-clamp recordings revealed that neurons within ectopias display multiple types of action potential firing patterns, and biocytin labeling indicated that ∼20% of the cells in neocortical ectopias can be classified as nonpyramidal cells and the rest as atypically oriented pyramidal cells. All cells had spontaneous excitatory (glutamatergic) and inhibitory (GABAergic) postsynaptic currents. Exhibitory postsynaptic currents consisted of both N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated and AMPA/kainate (A/K) receptor-mediated currents. The NMDA receptor-mediated component had decay time constants of 15.35 ± 2.2 (SE) ms, while the A/K component had faster decay kinetics of 7.6 ± 1.7 ms at −20 mV. GABAAreceptor-mediated synaptic currents in ectopic cells reversed at potentials near the Cl− equilibrium potential and had decay kinetics of 16.65 ± 1.3 ms at 0 mV. Furthermore we show that cells within ectopias receive direct excitatory and inhibitory input from adjacent normatopic cortex and can display a form of epileptiform activity.

Fuel particles for the High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) contain a layer of pyrolytic silicon carbide to act as a miniature pressure vessel and primary fission product barrier. Optimization of the SiC with respect to fuel performance involves four areas of study: (a) characterization of as-deposited SiC coatings; (b) thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical reactions between SiC and fission products; (c) irradiation behavior of SiC in the absence of fission products; and (d) combined effects of irradiation and fission products. This paper reports the behavior of SiC deposited on inert microspheres and irradiated to fast neutron fluences typical of HTGR fuel at end-of-life.

Kinetics of homogenous hydrogenation of 1-heptene catalysed by rhodium(I) complexes prepared in situ from μ,μ'-dichloro-bis(cyclooctenerhodium) and phosphines of the type RP(C6H5)2 (R = -CH3, -(CH2)nSi(CH3)3; n = 1-4) have been studied. The substitution of the ligands by the trimethylsilyl group was found to increase significantly the catalytic activity of the complexes. The results are discussed in relation to the electron density on the phosphorus atom determined by 31P NMR spectroscopy and to its proton acceptor ability determined by IR spectroscopy.
