Although the wind is usually what creates the swell, the "local" wind does not necessarily coincide with the wind that created the prevailing swell. The "local" wind can oppose the swell to decrease the height of the swell, or it may reinforce the swell. It depends on the speed, direction, and fetch of the "local" wind. 4, record 8, English, - swell

El primero [oleaje] obedece al viento local, mientras que el segundo, más fuerte y coherente, llamado mar de fondo, está producido por vientos o perturbaciones lejanas y se propaga, con poca pérdida de energía, hasta grandes distancias. La falta de coherencia entre ambos tiende a amortiguar el mar de fondo. 3, record 8, Spanish, - mar%20de%20fondo

Axon growth along pathways formed by guideposts often results in the establishment of pioneer neurons. Their axons serve as a pathway for additional neurons that develop later in the embryo and project their axons to the appropriate target. In many systems pioneer neurons are eliminated by programmed cell-death and are not present in the adult. 2, record 12, English, - pioneer%20cell

Hemos encontrado dos grandes variedades de neuronas precoces durante los estadios iniciales de la corticogénesis en la rata. La primera variedad está constituida por las neuronas corticales pioneras, que nacen en el neuroepitelio ventricular del primordio cortical [...] Estas células, que muestran inmunorreactividad intensa para calbindina y calretinina, se caracterizan por su gran tamaño y su proyección axonal y permanecen en la zona marginal después de la formación de la placa cortical. Proyectan primero a la zona ventricular y después a la subplaca y cápsula interna. Son, consecuentemente, el origen de la proyección eferente más precoz de la corteza en desarrollo.
