RIGA， March 8 (Xinhua) -- Latvia has recorded its highest annual inflation rate since 2012 as consumer prices in February climbed 3.3 percent against the same period last year， but the Finance Ministry expects inflation to stay below 3.0 percent in the coming months.


Commenting on Latvia's latest inflation data released on Wednesday by the national statistics office， the ministry said that the steep rise of inflation last month was caused primarily by climbing prices of food and transport-related goods and services.


"In the following months， inflation is not expected to rise above the 3.0 percent mark，" the ministry said.


Ministry representatives noted that in February food prices went up 6.1 percent with price hikes recorded in all food product categories.


"Food prices have been seen rising also in the world's markets. The data of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) show that the FAO food price index continued to climb in February， showing a 17.2 percent annual increase. Still， the average price level of food commodities in the world's markets is lower than in 2014 when prices started to drop sharply，" the ministry said.


As a result， food commodities might rise in price in Latvia as well， benefiting Latvia's farmers. However， Latvian food prices have already reached a record high and a further rise in prices will be limited by purchasing power， finance ministry representatives said.


Slipping energy prices ensured very low inflation in Latvia last year， but this year rising oil prices have been pushing fuel prices up.


In February， fuel prices in the country jumped 18.8 percent year-on-year. The Finance Ministry， however， expected this rise in fuel prices to subside in mid-2017 if the oil price remained at its current level.


The effect of other goods and services prices on Latvia's annual inflation in February was not so strong， although housing-related expenses increased by 1.7 percent and telecommunications became 6.2 percent more costly.


According to the statistics office's data， Latvian consumer prices moved up 0.4 percent month-on-month in February. Enditem


CHICAGO Panske Nike Air Max 90 Ultra SE Cierne Vypredaj , July 26 (Xinhua) -- Researchers at the University of Chicago (UChicago) have found for the first time that a key protein complex in the brain is linked to the ability of young animals to learn behavioral patterns from adults.


A specific neural signal, the mechanistic Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) cascade, regulates the ability of juvenile zebra finches to form accurate memories of songs taught to them by adult birds Panske Nike Air Max 90 Námornícka Biele Vypredaj , the research finds.


This suggests mTOR's function in regulating protein synthesis may be involved, since protein synthesis is known to be a key feature of long-term memory formation.


The results have potentially provided new insight into children affect by neurodevelopmental disorders, as disruptions related to mTOR have been associated with autism spectrum disorders in humans.


"In the last five to 10 years Nike Air Max 90 PRM EM Brink Ruzove Vypredaj , there seems to be a convergence on the mTOR cascade as a common disrupted process in autism spectrum disorders. We are not investigating autism per se, but what got our attention was that the zebra finches model a similar kind of situation," said Sarah London Panske Nike Air Max 90 Hyperfuse Sede Cierne Vypredaj , assistant professor in the Department of Psychology of UChicago.


For the study, the researchers first confirmed the mTOR cascade was present in the brain of a juvenile zebra finch, and then established the cascade was activated in the auditory forebrain when a bird heard a song. They found that temporarily pharmacologically inhibiting or enhancing mTOR activation in the auditory forebrain directly diminished the ability of the bird to copy song from an adult tutor.


When molecular signaling in the auditory forebrain was disrupted during daily encounters with adult tutors Nike Air Max 90 Hyperfuse Námornícka Cervene Vypredaj , young zebra finches produced shorter and less complex songs that no longer reflected the tutor's song. Using software specifically designed for vocal comparison, the researchers analyzed the song patterns of the adults and the juvenile males with whom they interacted. The juvenile birds whose mTOR activation was modified by drug infusions retained the ability to sing and to mimic acoustic elements of the tutor's songs, but were unable to duplicate entire song structures.


"We had evidence from other lab studies that mTOR inhibition disrupted learning events Damske Nike Air Max 90 PRM Zelene Cierne Vypredaj , and we had evidence that its activation did also, " London said.
