    Abstract One aspect of natural colour which fascinated artists and scientists was the appearance of blue and green coloured shadows for a few minutes around dawn and dusk, and (more rarely) of blue shadows in broad daylight. The question of how artists saw and depicted such shadows is inseparable from the theories they held of their causes, which do not correspond with how we understand them today. How painters perceived these effects is also bound up with the viewing strategies they employed to render them more apparent. In addition, the belief that coloured shadows were 'beautiful' is central to the fascination they held for artists and physicists alike.

    Abstract This book proposes a new institution - the 'People's Forum' - to enable democratic governments to effectively address long-running issues like global warming and inequality. It would help citizens decide what strategic problems their government must fix, especially where this requires them to suffer some inconvenience or cost. The People's Forum is first based on a new diagnosis of government failure in democracies. The book tests its own analyses of government failure by seeing whether these might help us to explain the failures of particular democracies to address (and in some cases, to even recognize) several crucial environmental problems. The essential features of a new design for democracy are described and then compared with those of previous institutional designs that were also intended to improve the quality of democratic government.-

    In that comparison, the People's Forum turns out to be not only the most effective design for developing and implementing competent policy, but also the easiest to establish and run. The latter advantage is crucial as there has been no success in getting previous designs into actual trial practice. It is hoped that this book may inspire a small group to raise the money to set up and run the People's Forum. Then, as citizens see it operating and engage with it, they may come to regard the new Forum as essential in helping them to deliberate long-running issues and to get their resulting initiatives implemented by government. Smith also discusses how the People's Forum must be managed and how groups with different political ideologies may react to it. An Afterword sets out the method by which this design was produced, to help those who might want to devise an institution themselves.-

    The new concepts in environmental science that the book develops to test its diagnosis are applied in an Appendix to outline crucial options for the future of Tasmania. Similar options apply to many countries, states and provinces. As indicated above, those choices are currently beyond the capacity of democratic governments to address and in some cases, even to recognize. But the People's Forum may lift them out of that morass

  7. Article: Interpreting the meaning of changes in hippocampal volume associated with vestibular loss.

    Abstract Many studies have documented cognitive deficits, especially spatial cognitive deficits, in patients with some form of vestibular loss. Almost 20 years ago, hippocampal (HPC) atrophy was reported to be correlated with spatial memory deficits in such patients and the idea has gradually emerged that HPC atrophy may be causally responsible for the cognitive deficits. However, the results of studies of HPC volume following vestibular loss have not always been consistent, and a number of studies have reported no evidence of HPC atrophy. This paper argues that HPC atrophy, if it does occur following vestibular loss, may not be directly, causally responsible for the cognitive deficits, and that it is more likely that rapid functional changes in the HPC are responsible, due to the interruption of the transmission of vestibular information to the HPC. The argument presented here rests on 3 tranches of evidence: (1) Cognitive deficits have been observed in humans even in the absence of HPC atrophy; (2) HPC atrophy has not been reported in animal studies following vestibular loss, despite cognitive deficits; and (3) Animal studies have shown that the interruption of the transmission of vestibular information to the HPC has immediate consequences for HPC place cells, far too quickly to be explained by HPC atrophy. It is possible that HPC atrophy, when it does occur, is related to the longer-term consquences of living with vestibular loss, which are likely to increase circulating cortisol.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Since October 2022, substantial new information has been published on age-related effects on the vestibular system. Since much of this evidence relates to the risk of dementia, the purpose of this review will be to provide an overview of this new information and critically evaluate it.
    Recent findings: This review will address studies published since October 2022 regarding age-related effects on the vestibular system and their relationship to cognition and dementia. There has been a particular increase in the last year in the number of studies relating aging of the vestibular system to Alzheimer's disease (AD), further supporting the view that vestibular dysfunction is associated with an increased risk of dementia.
    Summary: The conclusion of these recent studies is that, consistent with previous studies, vestibular function declines with age, and that this age-related decline is associated with cognitive impairment and an increased risk of dementia. Efforts are being made to consider these implications for cognition in the treatment of vestibular disorders.

  9. Article: Recent developments in the understanding of the interactions between the vestibular system, memory, the hippocampus, and the striatum.

    Abstract Over the last two decades, evidence has accumulated to demonstrate that the vestibular system has extensive connections with areas of the brain related to spatial memory, such as the hippocampus, and also that it has significant interactions with areas associated with voluntary motor control, such as the striatum in the basal ganglia. In fact, these functions are far from separate and it is believed that interactions between the striatum and hippocampus are important for memory processing. The data relating to vestibular-hippocampal-striatal interactions have considerable implications for the understanding and treatment of Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease, in addition to other neurological disorders. However, evidence is accumulating rapidly, and it is difficult to keep up with the latest developments in these and related areas. The aim of this review is to summarize and critically evaluate the relevant evidence that has been published over the last 2 years (i.e., since 2021), in order to identify emerging themes in this research area.

    Abstract Animal models with high translational validity are essential tools in understanding disease pathogenesis and in the development of therapeutic strategies. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system characterized by progressive neurological deficits and socioeconomic burden. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is the most extensively utilized animal model of MS, with well-characterized rodent and non-human primate variants. The EAE model is typically induced by either active immunization with myelin-derived proteins or peptides in adjuvant or by passive transfer of activated myelin-specific CD4
