(episodic memory) requires the rapid formation of a memory trace consisting of several functional components. A computational model is described that demonstrates how a transient pattern of activity representing an episode can lead to the rapid recruitment of appropriate circuits as a result of long-term potentiation within structures whose architecture and circuitry match those of the hippocampal formation‚ a neural structure known to play a critical role in the formation of such memories. 1 Introduction

MECHANISM OF AQUEOUS HUMOR FORMATION There is a constant flow of aqueous humor through the anterior segment of the eye. The aqueous is formed by the ciliary process and flows from the posterior chamber to anterior chamber through the pupil and exits the eye at the angle. The secretion of aqueous humor generates the intraocular pressure required for an optically efficient globe. The flow of aqueous provides nutrition for the avascular ocular tissues that it bathes‚ the posterior surface of the
