Optic flow information is integrated with vestibular input in the VbC. There is a clear separation of function in the VbC: Purkinje cells in the flocculus process optic flow resulting from self-rotation, whereas Purkinje cells in the uvula/nodulus process optic flow resulting from self-translation. Furthermore, Purkinje cells with particular optic flow preferences are organized topographically into parasagittal zones. These zones are correlated with expression of the Fludarabine nmr isoenzyme aldolase C, also known as zebrin II (ZII). ZII expression is heterogeneous such that there are parasagittal stripes of Purkinje cells that have high expression (ZII+) alternating with stripes of Purkinje cells with low expression (ZII-). A functional

zone spans a ZII +/- stripe pair. That is, each zone that contains Purkinje cells responsive to a particular pattern of optic flow is subdivided into

a strip containing ZII+ Purkinje cells and a strip containing ZII- LY411575 research buy Purkinje cells. Additionally, there is optic flow input to folia VI-VIII of the cerebellum from lentiformis mesencephali. These folia also receive visual input from the tectofugal system via pontine nuclei. As the tectofugal system is involved in the analysis of local motion, there is integration of optic flow and local motion information in VI-VIII. This part of the cerebellum may be important for moving through a cluttered environment.”
“ACKGROUND: This work reports the optimization of geranyl propionate production by esterification of geraniol and propionic acid in a solvent-free system using a commercial lipase as catalyst. For this purpose, a sequential strategy was performed applying two experimental designs.

RESULTS: The operating conditions that optimized geranyl propionate production were determined to be 40 degrees C, geraniol to propionic acid molar ratio of 3 : 1, 150 rpm and 10 wt% of enzyme, with a resulting reaction conversion S63845 nmr of about 93%. After determining the optimum reaction

parameters, a kinetic study was carried out evaluating the influence of substrates molar ratio, enzyme concentration and temperature on reaction conversion. Results obtained in this step allow one to conclude that an excess of alcohol (acid to alcohol molar ratio of 1 : 6), relatively low enzyme concentration (5 wt%), temperature of 40 degrees C and substrates molar ratio of 1 : 1 afforded nearly complete reaction conversion after 30 min of reaction.

CONCLUSION: New experimental data on enzymatic esterification of geraniol and propionic acid for geranyl propionate production are reported in this work, showing a promising perspective of the technique to over come the well-known drawbacks of the chemical-catalyzed route.
