Abstract:
Quel ‘mystère’ se cache derrière la symbolique du crime - ce que Paul Gilroy désigne par l’expression outlaw forms- qui semble prédominer dans l’ensemble de la production rap contemporaine ? Considérant le rap comme un fait social, nous favorisons, dans cette thèse, un cheminement intellectuel en amont du discours culturaliste généralement mis en avant. Autrement dit, nous explorons les raisons sociales qui font que les compositions stylisées et rythmées des rappeurs sont fortement empreintes d’une imagerie du crime.

Abstract:
This thesis interrogates gangsta hip-hop for the unique attention it plays to the drug trade. I read theories of hypervisibility/invisibility and Louis Althusser’s theory of interpellation alongside hip-hop feminist theory to examine the Black female criminal subjectivity that operates within hip-hop. Using methods of discourse analysis, I question the constructions of gangster femininity in rap lyrics as well as the absences of girlhood on Season 4 of HBO’s television drama The Wire. In doing so, I argue that the discursive construction of Black female subjectivity within gangsta hip-hop pro

Abstract:
G proteins are alpha-beta-gamma heterotrimers in the resting state, bound to GDP and complexed with the unbound receptor. Once the receptor becomes occupied, the alpha subunit exchanges GDP for GTP, becomes activated, and dissociates from the receptor and can stimulate or inhibit many intracellular activities such as phosphorylation and channel conductance. For example, Gs and Golf alpha subunits stimulate and Gi alpha subunits inhibit adenylyl cyclase. Go alpha subunits are abundant in brain, but are of unknown function. cDNAs for the alpha subunit have been cloned. In order to examine the r

Although these networks have been extensively studied,lack of proper methods to study them on a system level has hindered the process ofunderstanding what they do and how they do it.

Due to the common belief that language is unique to humans, great emphasis has been placed on the neocortex, while the role of the subcortical areas has been minimized. This project used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study the linguistic involvement of the basal ganglia (BG). Previous research has demonstrated that the BG are implicated in building up sequences of behavior into meaningful, goal-directed repertoires This study developed the idea of motor sequencing into linguistic sequencing to test the BG's involvement in the abstract sequencing of language.

Intraperitoneal administration of the typical neuroleptic drugs haloperidol (1mg/kg) and fluphenazine (3mg/kg) significantly increase levels of proenkephalin mRNA in the caudal striatum compared to saline treated controls, although the atypical neuroleptic drug clozapine (3mg/kg) has no effect on the levels of proenkephalin mRNA in the rat. Methiothepin (10mg/kg), an antipsychotic with the ability to antagonise both serotonin and dopamine receptors, can also induce proenkephalin mRNA levels in rat striatum.
