For two groups of participants, completely blind, and sighted but temporarily blindfolded, this analysis shows that the consensus model of arm-motion kinematics as a simple 1/3rd power relationship of drawing speed to the local curvature of the line being drawn is not a sufficient characterization of their coupling. Instead, the drawing dynamics conform to a hyperbolic power relationship, with a coupling power of approximately 1.0 for regions of the highest curvature, asymptoting to curvature-independence for regions of shallow curvature, for both blind and blindfolded groups. Thus, the asymptotic power was much higher than the 1/3<sup>rd</sup> power predicted from the Minimum Jerk Principle. In detail, the maximum-velocity asymptote for both groups averaged about 6 cm/s for drawing from memory, increasing to more than twice as fast for mindless scribbling.

Under hypoxic environments, compensatory changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) are necessary to couple oxygen delivery to metabolic demand in the face of reduced oxygen availability.

However, the specific contribution of δ-containing GABA<sub>A</sub> receptors to the function of PV interneurons in mPFC is unclear. We explored cellular, synaptic, and local-circuit activity in PV interneurons and pyramidal neurons in mouse mPFC after selectively deleting δ subunits in PV interneurons (cKO mice). In current-clamp recordings, cKO PV interneurons exhibited a higher frequency of action potentials and higher input resistance than wild-type (WT) PV interneurons.

The δ-preferring agonist THIP reduced spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents disproportionately in WT pyramidal neurons compared with cKO pyramidal neurons.
