    Description: We report on new stratigraphic, palaeomagnetic and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) results from the Amantea basin, located on-shore along the Tyrrhenian coast of the Calabrian Arc (Italy). The Miocene Amantea Basin formed on the top of a brittlely extended upper plate, separated from a blueschist lower plate by a low-angle top-to-the-west extensional detachment fault. The stratigraphic architecture of the basin is mainly controlled by the geometry of the detachment fault and is organized in several depositional sequences, separated by major unconformities. The first sequence (DS1) directly overlaps the basement units, and is constituted by Serravallian coarse-grained conglomerates and sandstones. The upper boundary of this sequence is a major angular unconformity locally marked by a thick palaeosol (type 1 sequence boundary). The second depositional sequence DS2 (middle Tortonian-early Messinian) is mainly formed by conglomerates, passing upwards to calcarenites, sandstones, claystones and diatomites. Finally, Messinian limestones and evaporites form the third depositional sequence (DS3). Our new biostratigraphic data on the Neogene deposits of the Amantea basin indicate a hiatus of 3 Ma separating sequences DS1 and DS2. The structural architecture of the basin is characterized by faulted homoclines, generally westward dipping, dissected by eastward dipping normal faults. Strike-slip faults are also present along the margins of the intrabasinal structural highs. Several episodes of syn-depositional tectonic activity are marked by well-exposed progressive unconformities, folds and capped normal faults. Three main stages of extensional tectonics affected the area during Neogene-Quaternary times: (1) Serravallian low-angle normal faulting; (2) middle Tortonian high-angle syn-sedimentary normal faulting; (3) Messinian-Quaternary high-angle normal faulting. Extensional tectonics controlled the exhumation of high-P/low-T metamorphic rocks and later the foundering of the Amantea basin, with a constant WNW-ESE stretching direction (present-day coordinates), defined by means of structural analyses and by AMS data. Palaeomagnetic analyses performed mainly on the claystone deposits of DSl show a post-Serravallian clockwise rotation of the Amantea basin. The data presented in this paper constrain better the overall timing, structure and kinematics of the early stages of extensional tectonics of the southern Tyrrhenian Sea. In particular, extensional basins in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea opened during Serravallian and evolved during late Miocene. These data confirm that, at that time, the Amantea basin represented the conjugate extensional margin of the Sardinian border, and that it later drifted south-eastward and rotated clockwise as a part of the Calabria-Peloritani terrane.

    Description: The method of spherical cap harmonic analysis (SCHA), due to Haines (1985) is appropriate for regional geomagnetic field modelling as it includes the required potential field constraints and, for a given number of model parameters, describes shorter wavelength features than a global spherical harmonic model. If the origin of the coordinate system is moved from the centre of the Earth towards the surface then the Earth's surface is no longer equidistant from the origin. At the Earth's surface the minimum wavelength described by a SCH model in the new coordinate system is smaller at the centre of the region than at the edge. This method of translated origin spherical cap harmonic analysis (TOSCA) has been applied to regional field modelling for Italy. The method is able to take advantage of the dense distribution of data at the centre of region and the model effectively smooths towards the periphery. The performance of the TOSCA model is discussed in relation to a model derived using conventional SCHA.

    Description: An analysis of the field scaling power spectrum yields useful information about the source distribution, but it is uncertain whether deterministic, random, fractal or mixed approaches have to be used for the interpretation. To this end, the scaling properties of potential field spectra are analysed for a number of different source models of geological interest. Besides the models of Naidu (purely random sources) and Spector and Grant (gross block statistical ensembles) we consider other types of density and magnetization distributions with spectral exponents in the fractal range, such as a single homogeneous body with a random white source distribution. Spectral slopes in the fractal range are obtained. We also study the effects of important natural sources, such as salt domes and sedimentary basins, representing them with simple Gaussians or combinations of Gaussian signals. The same spectral slopes as for gravity signals generated by 3-D fractal source distributions are found for them. Hence the power law decay of the field is not a characteristic only of fractal source models. If a 3-D fractal source distribution is assumed a priori, a way of verifying the goodness of the model is to examine the whitened field at source level. The probability that the whitened field derives from a random white population is estimated for synthetic and real anomalies by applying the usual statistical tests.

    Description: Eastern Sicily (southern Italy) is characterised by the presence of many natural gas emissions (mofettes, mud volcanoes). These gases are mostly carbon dioxide and methane, with minor amounts of helium, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. In this study, the extent and orientation of soil gas anomalies (He and CO2) were investigated on a wide area (approximately 110 km2) located just SW of Mt. Etna. From a structural point of view, this area lays on a typical foredeep–foreland system that marks the boundary between the southern part of the Eurasian plate and the northern part of the African plate in the central Mediterranean. No tectonic structure was revealed in this area by surface geological surveys. Very high soil emissions were found, and their spatial pattern reveals the existence of some active faults all directed about N508E. This direction coincides with that of two major fault systems that cut eastern Sicily and are evident, respectively, NE and SW of the study area. Soil gas data suggest that these fault systems are the expression of a single continuous structural line which is probably responsible for the past and present magma uprise in eastern Sicily. Isotopic values of carbon of CO2 suggest a minor contribution of organic carbon. Moreover, in the highest degassing sites the isotopic values of He found in association with CO2 (He abundance¼11–70 p.p.m.; R/Ra between 6.0 and 6.2) suggest that both gases are mantle derived. The extent of the areas affected by high gas emissions and the amounts of deep CO2 emitted in the investigated area (several hundred tonnes per day) may provide additional supporting evidence of a mantle upwelling taking place beneath this region.

    Description: This paper documents a phreatomagmatic ¯ank eruption that occurred 18 700 100 a BP, on the lower north-eastern slope of Etna during the Ellittico volcano activity, which produced fall and surge deposits. This type of eruption is connected to a sedimentary basement ridge at Etna. The interaction between the rising magma and the shallow groundwater hosted in the volcanic pile overlying the impermeable sediments resulted in phreatomagmatic instead of strombolian activity. Three eruptive phases are distinguished based on ®eld and analytical data: (i) an explosive phreatomagmatic opening, (ii) a main phase producing coarse lithic-rich fallout and a strombolian deposit, and (iii) the ®nal pulsating surge-forming phase. The discovery of this phreatomagmatic ¯ank eruption, which occurred at lower altitude, raises important issues for previous hazard assessments at Etna.

    Notes: Abstract: Previous reports indicate that oligodendrocytes express signaling systems activated by classical neurotransmitters. Several signaling systems linked to mobilization of intracellular calcium have been demonstrated, and some of these are developmentally lost in vitro and in vivo. The experiments described here use oligodendrocyte-neuron cocultures to examine the effects of neuronal contact on the expression of these signaling pathways. Neonatal rat cerebral oligodendrocytes in contact with dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurites responded to bath application of histamine, ATP, carbachol, glutamate, or bradykinin with increases in intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Similar results were obtained in coculture with superior cervical ganglia neurons. Preventing neuronal contact by transection of DRG neurites significantly reduced the percentage of oligodendrocytes responsive to each ligand, with the exception of bradykinin responsiveness, which was unaffected. Oligodendroglia isolated from adult rat spinal cord were also examined for responsiveness to these neuroligands. Few isolated adult oligodendroglia were responsive to these ligands, and coculture with DRG neurons failed to restore responsiveness. Neuroligand responsiveness was not induced in oligodendrocytes maintained 8 days in purified culture before establishment of cocultures. A significant reduction in the number of neuroligand-responsive oligodendroglia was noted for histamine, carbachol, glutamate, and ATP after including tetrodotoxin for the final 6 days of coculture. These results suggest that both neuronal contact and neuronal activity contribute to the maintenance of functional neurotransmitter-activated signaling pathways coupled to mobilization of intracellular calcium in oligodendrocytes.

    Notes: Abstract: Conventional secretory processing of the amyloid precursor protein is nonamyloidogenic, releasing carboxyl-terminus-truncated amyloid precursor protein derivatives while cleaving the amyloid β-peptide within its sequence. Alternative processing routes are potentially amyloidogenic, yielding the amyloid β-peptide segment intact. In continuous cell lines, secretory processing of the amyloid precursor protein is regulated by both protein kinase C and muscarinic receptor stimulation. However, the first and second messenger systems that regulate amyloid precursor protein release in central neurons are still under investigation. In the present investigation, we examined whether or not first and second messengers of cholinergic neurotransmission increase production of soluble derivatives of the amyloid precursor protein in primary cultures of rat cortical neurons. Activation of protein kinase C by the phorbol esters phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate increased production of the soluble form of the amyloid precursor protein dramatically. In contrast, activation of muscarinic receptors by oxotremorine-M or carbachol did not result in a significant increase in amyloid precursor protein release. Similarly, chemically induced depolarization using 35 mM KCI did not alter production of soluble amyloid precursor protein derivatives. Our data suggest that although protein kinase C stimulation plays an important role in regulating release of the amyloid precursor protein, cholinergic neurotransmission does not regulate its release in cultured rat cortical neurons.

    Notes: Abstract: The joint, but not independent, activation of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA) and metabotropic glutamate receptors induces liberation of arachidonic acid from cultured mouse striatal neurones. We examined whether blocking AMPA receptor desensitisation with cyclothiazide would modify this response. Cyclothiazide strongly potentiated the combined AMPA/(1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (ACPD)-evoked release of arachidonic acid (EC50 of ∼7 µM) but did not modulate the basal, ACPD, or NMDA response. The enhanced liberation of arachidonic acid, observed in the presence of cyclothiazide, was due to the appearance of a genuine AMPA response that was independent of an associative activation of metabotropic receptors. The potentiated and nonpotentiated AMPA responses were inhibited by both competitive [2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulphamoylbenzo(f)quinoxaline] and 2,3-benzodiazepine noncompetitive (GYKI 53655 and GYKI 52466) receptor antagonists. Cyclothiazide was equally effective at potentiating the AMPA response in either the presence or absence of glucose, suggesting that the increased glutamate-evoked arachidonic acid release observed in these cells under conditions of glucose deprivation is not due to reduced AMPA receptor desensitisation. The enhanced liberation of arachidonic acid measured in the presence of cyclothiazide appeared to result from a large (fourfold) elevation of the AMPA-induced increase in intracellular calcium level. Therefore, an AMPA-evoked mobilisation of arachidonic acid could potentially contribute to non-NMDA receptor-mediated neurotoxicity, which has been observed in neuronal cells in the presence of cyclothiazide.

    Notes: Abstract: Axonal transport of microtubule-associated protein τ was studied in the motor fibers of the rat sciatic nerve 1–4 weeks after labeling of the spinal cord with [35S]methionine. As 60–70% of low molecular weight τ in this system was found to be insoluble in 1% Triton-containing buffer, labeled proteins in 6-mm consecutive nerve segments were first separated into Triton-soluble and insoluble fractions. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting with anti-tau antibody confirmed the presence of τ among labeled, transported proteins in both fractions. Isoform composition of labeled τ was similar to that of bulk axonal τ, the most acidic species with apparent molecular mass of 66 kDa being the major component. Transport profiles obtained by measuring radioactivities associated with this major isoform showed that soluble and insoluble τ were transported at different rates. Insoluble τ, which contained the majority of τ-associated radioactivity, was transported at 1.7 mm/day in slow component a (SCa), whereas soluble τ was transported faster, at 3 mm/day, corresponding to the rate of slow component b (SCb). Cotransport of insoluble τ with insoluble tubulin in SCa suggests its association with stable microtubules.

    Notes: Abstract: Correlation among in vivo glutamine synthetase (GS) activity, brain ammonia and glutamine concentrations, and severity of encephalopathy was examined in hyperammonemic rats to obtain quantitative information on the capacity of GS to control these metabolites implicated in the etiology of hepatic encephalopathy. Awake rats were observed for neurobehavioral impairments after ammonium acetate infusion to attain a steady-state blood ammonia concentration of 0.9 (group A) or 1.3 µmol/g (group B). As encephalopathy progressed from grade III to IV, brain ammonia concentration increased from 1.9 to 3.3 µmol/g and then decreased to 1.3 µmol/g on recovery to grade III. In contrast, brain glutamine concentration was 26, 23, and 21 µmol/g, respectively. NH4+-infused rats pretreated with l-methionine dl-sulfoximine reached grade IV when brain ammonia and glutamine concentrations were 3.0 and 5.5 µmol/g, respectively; severity of encephalopathy correlates with brain ammonia, but not glutamine. In vivo GS activity, measured by NMR, was 6.8 ± 0.7 µmol/h/g for group A and 6.2 ± 0.6 µmol/h/g for group B. Hence, the in vivo activity, shown previously to increase with blood ammonia over a range of 0.4–0.64 µmol/g, approaches saturation at blood ammonia 〉0.9 µmol/g. This is likely to be the major cause of the observed accumulation of brain ammonia and the onset of grade IV encephalopathy.
