The hippocampus has been firmly established as playing a crucial role in flexible navigation. Recent evidence suggests that dorsal striatum may also play an important role in such goal-directed behaviour in both rodents and humans. Across recent studies, activity in the caudate nucleus has been linked to forward planning and adaptation to changes in the environment. In particular, several human neuroimaging studies have found the caudate nucleus tracks information traditionally associated with that by the hippocampus. In this brief review, we examine this evidence and argue the dorsal striatum encodes the transition structure of the environment during flexible, goal-directed behaviour. We highlight that future research should explore the following: (1) Investigate neural responses during spatial navigation via a biophysically plausible framework explained by reinforcement learning models and (2) Observe the interaction between cortical areas and both the dorsal striatum and hippocampus during flexible navigation.

An unusual example of the abnormal Wolff rearrangement was studied. The bicyclic structure of the reactant and intermediates precluded some mechanistic possibilities of this unusual Abnormal Wolff Rearrangement. The study involved the photochemical rearrangement of diazodehydronorbornone bearing phenyl and 2-pyridyl groups at C-7. A number of examples of interesting stereoselectivity were encountered. The mechanism was investigated by use of ab initio QST type computations which located a unique transition structure species accounting for the reaction mechanism.Key words: abnormal-Wolff, carbene, rearrangement, QM computations, reaction mechanism.

Abstract A compact differential ultra-wide band (UWB) planar quasi-Yagi antenna is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna consists of a balanced stepped-impedance microstrip-slotline transition structure, a driver dipole and one parasitic strip. A wide differential-mode (DM) impedance bandwidth covering from 3.8 to 9.5 GHz is realized. Meanwhile, a high and wideband common-mode (CM) suppression can be achieved by employing the balanced stepped-impedance microstrip-slotline transition structure. It is noted that the DM passband is independent from the CM response, which can significantly simplify the design procedure. In addition, a reconfigurable sharp DM notched band from 5.6 to 6.7 GHz is generated by adding one pair of quarter-wavelength varactor-loaded short-circuited stubs adjacent to the microstrip line symmetrically. In order to illustrate the effectiveness of the design, two prototypes of the antennas are designed, fabricated, and measured. A good agreement between the simulated and measured results is observed.
