What is cultural memory? How do settlers use it in East Jerusalem to dispossess Palestinians? In this episode I interview film maker and scholar Yair Agmon. Known for short movies like Once Upon a School (2023), Like a Beating Heart (2022) and Our Heroes (2016), Yair is now working on his PhD at UCLA 'Dwelling on The Past: Memory, Discard, and Dispossession at The City of David National Park,” which explores how settlers in East Jerusalem use memory to give purpose and meaning to a territorial project in Palestinian East Jerusalem'.We discussed his work, the question of memory and how the City of David has become more than an archeological site.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.02.02.526850v1?rss=1 Authors: Hostetler, R. E., Hu, H., Agmon, A. Abstract: Of the four main subclasses of inhibitory cortical interneurons, somatostatin-containing (SOM) interneurons are the most diverse. Earlier studies identified layer 1-projecting (Martinotti) cells in layer 5/6 of the X98 and the Chrna2-cre transgenic lines, and two groups of non-Martinotti cells - long-range projecting SOM cells in layers 2 and 6, and layer 4-projecting X94 cells in layers 4 and 5. Later in-vivo and ex-vivo studies described two morphological types of Martinotti cells which appear to have opposing roles in behaving animals. More recently, large-scale transcriptomic studies attempting to classify all cortical neurons by their gene expression profiles and by their morphological and electrophysiological phenotypes divided all SOM interneurons into 13 morpho-electro-transcriptomic (MET) types. It remains unclear, however, how the previously identified SOM subtypes relate to each other, and how they map onto the suggested MET classification scheme. Importantly, only a small number of Cre or Flp driver line are available to target SOM interneurons, and there are currently no genetic tools to target the majority of the proposed MET types for recording, imaging or optogenetic manipulations, severely hindering progress on understanding the roles SOM interneurons play in sensorimotor processing or in learning and memory. To begin to overcome these barriers, we undertook a systematic examination of SOM interneuron subtypes in layer 5 of mouse somatosensory cortex. We generated 4 intersectional triple-transgenic genotypes, by crossing the Sst-IRES-Flp line with 4 different Cre lines and with a dual-color reporter that labels all Cre expressing SOM cells with GFP and all other SOM cells in the same brain with tdTomato. Brains from adult mice of both sexes were retrogradely labeled by epipial dye deposits, processed histologically, and immunostained for 3 marker proteins known to be expressed in different SOM subsets. By correlating fluorescent protein expression, retrograde label and marker proteins in the same neurons, we found that Cre-expressing SOM cells in the Calb2-IRES-Cre and in the Chrna2-Cre lines, and GFP expressing neurons in the X94 line, comprise three non-overlapping SOM populations which together account for about half of all SOM cell in layer 5. Using whole-cell recordings ex-vivo, we show that they also exhibit electrophysiological properties which are distinctly different from each other. This multimodal convergence of axonal projection target, marker protein expression and electrophysiological properties strongly suggests that these three populations can be considered bona-fide SOM subtypes. Indeed, each of the three subtypes appears to map onto a unique MET type. Our findings call for a renewed effort to generate additional driver lines that can be used combinatorially to provide genetic access to the many remaining SOM subtypes and uncover their roles in cortical computations.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.09.02.506344v1?rss=1 Authors: Hu, H., Hostetler, R. E., Agmon, A. Abstract: Oscillations of extracellular voltage, reflecting synchronous rhythmic activity in large populations of neurons, are a ubiquitous feature in the mammalian brain and are thought to subserve critical, if not fully understood cognitive functions. Oscillations at different frequency bands are hallmarks of specific brain or behavioral states. At the higher end of the scale, ultrafast (400-600 Hz) oscillations in the somatosensory cortex, in response to peripheral stimulation, were observed in human and a handful of animal studies; however, their synaptic basis and functional significance remain largely unexplored. Here we report that brief optogenetic activation of thalamocortical axons ex-vivo elicited precisely reproducible, ~410 Hz local field potential wavelets ("ripplets") in middle layers of mouse somatosensory (barrel) cortex. Fast-spiking (FS) inhibitory interneurons were exquisitely synchronized with each other and fired spike bursts in anti-phase with ripplets, while excitatory neurons fired only 1-2 spikes per stimulus. Both subtypes received shared excitatory inputs at ripplet frequency, and bursts in layer 5 FS cells required intact connection with layer 4, suggesting that layer 4 excitatory cells were driving FS bursts in both layers. Ripplets may be a ubiquitous cortical response to exceptionally salient sensory stimuli, and could provide increased bandwidth for encoding and transmitting sensory information. Lastly, optogenetically-induced ripplets are a uniquely accessible model system for studying synaptic mechanisms of fast and ultrafast oscillations. Copy rights belong to original authors.

En esta emisión, David Agmon – Director de crecimiento de Monific, nos habla sobre la primera y única plataforma de fondeo colectivo enfocada en el sector turístico, una interesante forma de hacer crecer nuestro capital, haciendo uso de las nuevas tecnologías.

4 years ago Amir Haskel decided that enough is enough and started protesting ALONE against PM Netanyahu. Haskel, former pilot (Ranked Brigadier general) and a Holocaust researcher, decided he can not stand still while the PM is charged with corruption cases and that such man can not lead the state of Israel as we need higher morals and ethics. SO he started standing in the crossroad by his house with a sign and Israel flag. Soon many have followed. One of them was his old-time IAF pilot Asaf Agmon. Now they lead the No Way protests in Balfour. Let's hear what they have to say.

We chat with Eran about the many iterations he takes in the search for product-market fit, one of the toughest challenges product managers solve for, especially in a startup or entity that's going from 0-1. Listen attentively to uncover some not-so-obvious gems in his discovery process.

People sometimes forget—if they are even aware—that France's empire in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries included a colonial presence in South Asia, a presence that at one time rivaled that of the British. Danna Agmon's A Colonial Affair: Commerce, Conversion, and Scandal in French India (Cornell University, 2017) zooms in on the 1716 arrest and conviction of a Tamil commercial agent and employee of the French East India Company, a legal case that resonated throughout the empire for decades, even centuries, afterward. The “Nayiniyappa Affair” at the heart of this microhistory is Agmon's way into a complex web of interests and fractures: the aims and actions of French traders, missionaries, and administrators, as well as the roles and agency of indigenous subjects and intermediaries. Moving from colonial Pondicherry to metropolitan France and back again, A Colonial Affair focuses on a local story and context with much broader implications for how we think about the workings of imperial power, authority, and sovereignty. In chapters that revisit the narrative of Nayiniyappa's case from different angles, Agmon treats the affair as a prism illuminating aspects of the history of French colonialism. Examining the scandal from various perspectives, A Colonial Affair considers the myriad ways in which the origins and outcomes of the Nayiniyappa scandal were and might be understood. Throughout the book, Agmon weaves together the richness of the abundant archival material on the affair with careful analysis of the social, political, economic, and cultural dynamics of the case and context, including the meanings and effects of language, religious belief, local and kinship networks. A Colonial Affair will be of wide appeal to readers interested in the histories of France, India, Early modern capitalism, law, and empire in its multiple forms. Roxanne Panchasi is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at Simon Fraser University. Her current research focuses on the cultural politics of nuclear weapons and testing in France and its empire since 1945. She lives and reads in Vancouver, Canada.

However, the social history of these communities reveals that tribes and their members were involved in the continual transformation of Ottoman society not just as a force of resistance or hapless victims of state policies but also as participants. In this podcast, Nora Barakat deals with the social history of such communities, which appear in the court records of Salt (in modern Jordan) as "tent-dwellers," and their place in the complex legal sphere of the Tanzimat era during which both shar`ia law courts as well as new nizamiye courts served as forums for legal action.Stream via Soundcloud (US / preferred) Nora Barakat is a PhD candidate at UC-Berkeley studying the legal and social history of Ottoman SyriaChris Gratien is a PhD candidate studying the history of the modern Middle East at Georgetown University (see academia.edu)Citation: "Pastoral Nomads and Legal Pluralism in Ottoman Jordan."
