Hypobaric hypoxia at higher altitudes usually impairs cognitive function. Previous studies suggested that epigenetic modifications are the culprits for this condition.Here, we set out to determine how hypobaric hypoxia mediates epigenetic modifications and how this condition worsens neurodegeneration and memory loss in rats. In the current study, different duration of hypobaric hypoxia exposure showed a discrete pattern of histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases (HDACs) gene expression in the hippocampus when compared with control rat brains. The level of acetylation sites in histone H2A, H3 and H4 was significantly decreased under hypobaric hypoxia exposure compared to the control rat's hippocampus. Additionally, inhibiting the HDAC family with sodium butyrate administration (1.2 g/kg body weight) attenuated neurodegeneration and memory loss in hypobaric hypoxia-exposed rats. Moreover, histone acetylation increased at the promoter regions of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF); thereby its protein expression was enhanced significantly in hypobaric hypoxia exposed rats treated with HDAC inhibitor compared with hypoxic rats. Thus, BDNF expression upregulated cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation by stimulation of PI3K/GSK3β/CREB axis, which counteracts hypobaric hypoxiainduced spatial memory impairment. In conclusion, these results suggested that sodium butyrate is a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of spatial memory loss associated with hypobaric hypoxia, and also further studies are warranted to explore specific HDAC inhibitors in this condition.

“…Apparently, I did not know what I did not know about publishing in what was becoming outside the box. I should have sought mentors who did know, which I did, but perhaps too late (e.g., Morris et al 1982). In addition, sciences outside the box change, sometimes making publishing in them more difficult (e.g., psychology's putative cognitive revolution).…”

In this article, I comment on Normand's, Vyse's, Friman's, Schlinger's, and Reed's articles on publishing books, journal articles, letters to the editor, and columns outside of behavior analysis, that is, "outside the box," as well as communicating with editors, authors, and journalists. Among the topics I address are the prerequisite repertoires and these authors' guidance (e.g., task analyses), as well as technical terms and language and the many opportunities available to us, yet also caveats about how, whether, and when we should publish outside the box. In the process, I include lessons I have learned from submitting my own manuscripts outside the box and suggestions I have gleaned from my failures and successes. In conclusion, if the field values publishing outside the box, then, it should analyze the necessary repertoires and provide systematic instruction in them.

“…Behavior-analytic theory, in contrast, is generally accepted as a nonhierarchal taxonomy of behavior [Ribes, 1996]. As previously discussed, this aspect of the theory is an issue of emphasis rather than exclusion that stems from its dispersive worldview, and as Morris et al [1982] have described, behavior-analytic theory has the capability to address developmental phenomena on both empirical and conceptual grounds. Therefore, any extended discussions of these details offer nothing that is irreconcilable with the general proposal that has been offered in this essay for a rapprochement between cognitive-developmental and behavior-analytic approaches to behavior change and development.…”

Historically, cognitive-developmental and behavior-analytic approaches to the study of human behavior change and development have been presented as incompatible alternative theoretical and methodological perspectives. This presumed incompatibility has been understood as arising from divergent sets of metatheoretical assumptions that take the form of ontological and epistemological principles, and constitute worldviews. Classically, cognitive-developmental approaches have been cast as deriving from an organismic worldview and behavior-analytic approaches from a contextualist worldview. Previous attempts at uniting the two approaches have entailed privileging one and radically modifying the other. The present paper argues that a meaningful integration requires a set of metatheoretical assumptions that transcends both worldviews, and, while maintaining their distinct qualities, unites them. This metatheoretical framework termed relational metatheory is described and its integrative implications explained.
