David introduced to science a new bird species, Trochalopteron milnei, described as: "Ressemblant au T.formosum du Setchouan, mais ayant le dessus de la tete couleur de cannelle ou d'amadou, et la r6gion parotique blanche" (David, 1874). The bird skin that P^re David collected, and so far deposited in Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, was from "Koaten of W Fo-kien", in the current Chinese romanization system, Koaten is spelt as Guadun and Fo-kien spelt as Fujian.展开更多

According to the reticular theory initially proposed by Moruzzi and Magoun, excitatory inputs from large reticular zones of the brainstem via widespread intra- and extra-thalamocortical systems finally activate the cerebral cortex to cause generalized cortical activation and wakefulness [1]. This theory proposes a central relay role to the thalamus for cortical activation as supported by early studies using neurodegeneration techniques and by the elegant work of Steriade’s group and other investigators illustrating the electrophysiological mechanisms of the thalamocortical system at the cellular level during wakefulness, rapid eye-movement sleep (REMs) and non-REM sleep (NREMs)[2].展开更多
