Preferential fluid pathways along regional fault systems are crucial for the spatial localization of volcanic and geothermal manifestations. Differences in electric properties of fluids and hydrothermal alteration products ...

In an effort to assess the innate capacity of the central visual system to specify corticocortical connectivity in the absence of retinal afferents, we examined the tangential distribution of callosal cells and terminations ...
