Calyx-Krater by the artist called the Painter of the Berlin Hydria depicting an Amazonomachy Calyx-Krater by the artist called the Painter of the Berlin Hydria depicting an Amazonomachy The calyx-krater by the artist called the "Painter of the Berlin Hydria depicting an Amazonomachy" is an ancient Greek painted vase in the red figure style, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. It is a krater, a bowl made for mixing wine and water, and specifically a calyx-krater, where the bowl resembles the calyx of a flower. Vessels such as these were often used at a symposion, which was an elite party for drinking. Warfare depicted in Greek art was often not representative
Calyx of Held embryonic calyx formation. One characteristic that distinguishes Eph proteins and their receptors from other signaling systems is their ability to transmit information bidirectionally. Forward and reverse signaling in VCN and MNTB cells is essential for the proper number and formation of VCN and ipsilateral MNTB projections in the calyx. Eph proteins also ensure that while axons pass through the ipsilateral MNTB, branching and final termination of these projections only occur in the contralateral MNTB, possibly because the proteins are only targeted towards specific regions on the axons. Overall, there are two ultrastructural changes that occur in the calyx of Held.
