La patota (1960 film)
Infobox film
La patota (Lunfardo for "The gang" or "The mob") is a 1960 Argentine melodrama film directed by Daniel Tinayre. The film focuses on Paulina Vidal Ugarte (Legrand), a young attractive teacher who takes a professorship at a night school located in a marginal area of Buenos Aires, where she is gang-raped by a group of students. La patota was written by Eduardo Borrás and starred Tinayre's wife Mirtha Legrand. The film was in competition for the Golden Bear at the 11th Berlin International Film Festival, where Tinayre was given the C.I.D.A.L.C. Award. Now considered a modern movie classic, La patota was remade as Paulina by director Santiago Mitre in 2015, with Dolores Fonzi playing the main role.

Las furias
short description
Las furias (Spanish for "the furies") is a 1960 Argentine drama film directed by Vlasta Lah, based on the 1950 play of the same name by Enrique Suárez de Deza. The first Argentine sound film directed by a woman, it was the directorial debut for Lah, who became the only woman film director in 1960s Latin America. Its cast is almost exclusively female, starring Mecha Ortiz, Olga Zubarry, Aída Luz, Alba Mujica and Elsa Daniel as characters whose name are not presented, being introduced as "the Mother", "the Lover", "the Wife", "the Sister" and "the Daughter", respectively. In 2022, it was included in the list of The 100 Greatest Films of Argentine Cinema at number 50, a poll organized by the specialized magazines La vida útil, Taipei and La tierra quema, which was presented at the Mar del Plata International Film Festival. Also in 2022, the film was included in Spanish magazine Fotogramass list of the 20 best Argentine films of all time.

Jorvas railway station
Short description
Jorvas railway station is a railway halt on the Helsinki commuter rail network located in the town of Kirkkonummi, Finland, between the Masala and Tolsa stations. The station is served by Helsinki commuter rail and trains.
Jorvas railway station
History
History Jorvas railway station originally a small stop (known as laituri in the old classification of railway stations in Finland used until 1969) operating under the Masala railway station. The Plattformskjul III-type station building designed by architect Bruno Granholm was completed in 1903 and expanded in 1933 with the plans of architect Jarl Ungern. The station remained in the Porkkala Naval Base leased to Soviet Union in 1944 and was re-opened for Finnish train traffic in 1956, as the naval base was returned to Finland. After the re-opening, the station functioned as a laiturivaihde (an non-independent, staffed station, usually operating under another nearby station, serving both passenger and freight traffic) for a short while in 1961–1968 and after that as a seisakevaihde (an unstaffed stop for both passenger and freight traffic). Freight traffic at the station ceased in 1987. The station building has since been demolished.

Plot
Plot Laura is back home for the holidays after spending the entire year as a boarder at a convent school. Waiting for her are her mother and aunt, both professional embroiderers, living in a large, dark mansion. The prospect of a summer filled with boredom and loneliness looms, but this time, Laura, having matured, starts questioning the family secrets. She's aware that there's a mysterious "guest" confined to the second floor of the house, whom she's forbidden to see. With the help of her suitor, Miguel, Laura attempts to catch a glimpse of this creature. However, merely seeing it won't unravel the mysteries. She must also uncover secrets involving an unknown aunt in the United States, her ex-partner, and the correspondence between her and her mother. This journey leads her to rediscover old passions and confront past embarrassments, ultimately revealing the horror hidden within her own home.

Malpertuis
Premise
Premise Malpertuis is a crumbling, ancient house where a dying warlock has trapped the aging Olympian gods inside the "skins" of ordinary Flemish citizens.
Malpertuis
Structure
Structure The novel is divided into four narratives: The modern-day narrator (who remains unnamed) explains in a prologue that he stole the manuscripts that comprise the rest of the novel from the Convent of the White Penitents. In the epilogue, he locates Malpertuis, sees Eisengott and Old Mother Groulle in a tavern, enters the house, has a brief encounter with Euryale then flees. The diary of Jean-Jacques Grandsire (also broken into two parts) that ends when he and Bets leave Malpertuis. Doucedame the Elder's story of the capture of the Olympians; it has presumably been assembled by Doucedame the Younger. Father Euchere (aka Dom Misseron) of the Convent of the White Penitents, and reveals the final fates of both Jean-Jacques Grandsire and Doucedame the Younger.
Malpertuis
Film adaptation
Film adaptation In 1971 the Belgian director Harry Kümel made a film adaptation of the novel, starring Orson Welles, Susan Hampshire and Mathieu Carrière.
Malpertuis
In popular culture
In popular culture Malpertuis is quoted in Ross J. Anderson's paper "Do you believe in Tinker Bell? The social externalities of trust", quoting (translated): "Men are not born of the whim or will of the gods, on the contrary, gods owe their existence to the belief of men. Should this belief wither, the gods will die." A copy of the novel is prominently displayed on the coffee table of Haydée (Haydée Politoff) in Eric Rohmer's 1967 film La Collectionneuse.

Synaptic gating
[[File:Gatekeeping.png
thumb|An axo-axonal gated synapse: Neuron C gates the synapse between Neuron A and B. Synaptic gating is the ability of neural circuits to gate inputs by either suppressing or facilitating specific synaptic activity. Selective inhibition of certain synapses has been studied thoroughly (see Gate theory of pain), and recent studies have supported the existence of permissively gated synaptic transmission. In general, synaptic gating involves a mechanism of central control over neuronal output. It includes a sort of gatekeeper neuron, which has the ability to influence transmission of information to selected targets independently of the parts of the synapse upon which it exerts its action (see also neuromodulation). Bistable neurons have the ability to oscillate between a hyperpolarized (down state) and a depolarized (up state) resting membrane potential without firing an action potential. These neurons can thus be referred to as up/down neurons. According to one model, this ability is linked to the presence of NMDA and AMPA glutamate receptors. External stimulation of the NMDA receptors is responsible for moving the neuron from the down state to the up state, while the stimulation of AMPA receptors allows the neuron to reach and surpass the threshold potential. Neurons that have this bistable ability have the potential to be gated because outside gatekeeper neurons can modulate the membrane potential of the gated neuron by selectively shifting them from the up state to the down state. Such mechanisms have been observed in the nucleus accumbens, with gatekeepers originating in the cortex, thalamus and basal ganglia.
Synaptic gating
Gated synapse model
Gated synapse model thumb|An example of a Bipolar junction transistor which can be used as a model for synaptic gating. B would represent the gatekeeper neuron that regulates the transmission of the signal from C to E. The model for gated synapses was originally derived from the model electronic circuit, in which the gatekeeper serves as a transistor in a circuit. In a circuit, a transistor can act as a switch that turns an electrical signal on or off. In addition, a transistor can serve to amplify an existing current in a circuit. In effect, the gatekeeper neuron acts as the transistor of a gated synapse by modulating the transmission of the signal between the pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neurons. In a model gated synapse, the gate is either open or closed by default. The gatekeeper neuron, therefore, serves as an external switch to the gate at the synapse of two other neurons. One of these neurons provides the input signal and the other provides the output signal. It is the role of the gatekeeper neuron to regulate the transmission of the input to the output. When activated, the gatekeeper neuron alters the polarity of the presynaptic axon to either open or close the gate. If this neuron depolarizes the presynaptic axon, it allows the signal to be transmitted. Thus, the gate is open. Hyperpolarization of the presynaptic axon closes the gate. Just like in a transistor, the gatekeeper neuron turns the system on or off; it affects the output signal of the postsynaptic neuron. Whether it is turned on or off is dependent on the nature of the input signal (either excitatory or inhibitory) from the presynaptic neuron.
