Pallas innove. Pour la première fois dans la longue histoire de la revue, nous publions un numéro entièrement en langue étrangère, en anglais en l’occurrence. C’est là un choix éditorial fort du ...comité scientifique de la revue qui, sur proposition de Jean-Marc Luce, professeur d’archéologie grecque à l’université de Toulouse 2-Le Mirail, a accepté d’accueillir les actes d’un colloque original par sa thématique, les petits objets et les miniatures de l’Antiquité, souvent des objets à vocation religieuse, qui s’est tenu à l’université de Reading, au Royaume-Uni, les 21 et 22 septembre 2009. Depuis de nombreuses années maintenant, la revue Pallas a ouvert ses pages aux enseignants-chercheurs et chercheurs étrangers, européens pour la plupart, auxquels la possibilité de publier leurs travaux dans leur langue a été donnée (anglais, italien, allemand et espagnol). Évolution logique pour une revue qui a toujours eu pour vocation de promouvoir la recherche en Sciences de l’Antiquité dans toute leur diversité, thématique et, désormais, géographique, et toute leur complémentarité - histoire, histoire de l’art, archéologie, philologie classique. Le présent numéro en est une nouvelle illustration. Christian Rico Directeur de Pallas

The content of amino acids (taurine, glycine, glutamic acid, γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) and aspartic acid) and monoamines (5‐hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT), 5‐hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5‐HIAA) and ...noradrenaline) in homogenates of rat cortical and hippocampal tissue were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (h.p.l.c.) with fluorescent and electrochemical detection respectively, after two anxiogenic treatments: exposure to a phobic stimulus (cat odour) and withdrawal from chronic diazepam treatment.
2
In neither of the two anxiogenic situations was there a significant change in any amino acid content, in either brain area.
3
In the group withdrawn from chronic diazepam, cortical 5‐HT and 5‐HIAA levels and hippocampal 5‐HT levels were significantly increased. Noradrenaline content was significantly decreased in the hippocampus.
4
The changes in 5‐HT and 5‐HIAA levels following cat odour exposure were area‐specific in that they decreased in the hippocampus, but increased in the cortex.
5
Following cat odour exposure, noradrenaline levels appeared not to change in either area studied. However during exposure to cat odour, it was found that half the animals avoided the odour source and half were indifferent. The animals showing marked avoidance had significantly higher cortical noradenaline content and this was significantly different from control, whereas hippocampal noradrenaline levels were not dependent upon the differences in avoidance of the odour source.
6
The results show clearly different neurochemical changes in the rat following exposure to a phobic stimulus and withdrawal from diazepam. It is hoped comparative studies such as this will enable better understanding of anxiety states in the rat which could parallel the different classes of anxiety recognised in the clinic
BVRI photometry of 107 TNOs and Centaurs establishes the range of spectral gradients to be between –5 to 55%/100 nm (with one exception). A cluster of very red Cubewanos is firmly identified in ...orbits of low inclination and eccentricity beyond 40 AU from the Sun. Further correlations between surface colours and dynamical parameters (inclination and perihelion distance) are suggested for Cubewanos and scattered disk objects, but lack complete confidence for their reality. Plutinos and Centaurs do not show any clear correlation between surface colours and orbital parameters. We present in this paper 12 spectra obtained in the visible region and nine of them for which we obtained also near infrared spectra up to 2.4 microns. A few other objects have been observed, but the data are still under reduction and analysis. The principal reported results obtained are: (i) a wide range of visible slopes; (ii) evidence for surface variations on 2001 PT13; and (iii) possible detection of few percent of water ice (1999 TC36}, 2000 EB173, 1999 DE9, 2001 PT13, 2000 QC243, 1998 SG35).
