# Neuroanatomy of intimacy

Even though intimacy has been broadly defined in terms of romantic love and sexual desire, the **neuroanatomy of intimacy** needs further explanation in order to fully understand their neurological functions in different components within intimate relationships, which are romantic love, lust, attachment, and rejection in love. Also, known functions of the neuroanatomy involved can be applied to observations seen in people who are experiencing any of the stages in intimacy. Research analysis of these systems provide insight on the biological basis of intimacy, but the neurological aspect must be considered as well in areas that require special attention to mitigate issues in intimacy, such as violence against a beloved partner or problems with social bonding.

## Components of intimacy and neuroanatomy

### Attachment

Pair bonding, or intense social attachment, normally initiates partner preference in sexual situations and monogamy in many mammalian species. Monogamous species generally exhibit an exclusive responsibility to each other as well as co-parenting to their offspring. Studies using monogamous prairie voles (*Microtus ochrogaster*) showed that forming a pair bond stimulated the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway. In this pathway, dopamine is released from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex, which then signals the ventral pallidum to complete reward processing in the pathway.

Two important neuropeptides that mediated pair bond formation were oxytocin and arginine vasopressin (AVP). Even though both males and females have both molecules, oxytocin was shown to be predominantly in females and vasopressin predominantly promoted pair bonding in males. Receptor specificity was shown essential for mating by activating the dopamine D2 receptors in the nucleus accumbens in both male and female prairie voles. Other locations that were also activated in the study were gender specific, such as oxytocin receptors (OTR) in the prefrontal cortex and AVP 1a receptors (V1aR) in the ventral pallidum.

### Romantic love

Romantic love is described as involving an individual who pays closer attention to another individual in special ways, involving attention on traits worthy to pursue. Through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), studies have shown that the right ventral tegmental area (VTA) is stimulated when subjects are shown a picture of their beloved. As part of the reward mechanism, the VTA signals to other parts of the brain, such as the caudate nucleus to release dopamine for reward.

Older studies have generally attributed love to the limbic system consisting of the temporal lobes, hypothalamus, amygdala as well as the hippocampus. These functional components of the limbic system are important components of emotional processing, motivation, and memory. Specifically, current research also suggests components, such as the hypothalamus, as playing a role in romantic love because it possesses the penchant for bonding in mammals by secreting the neuropeptides, oxytocin and vasopressin. Other research has implicated nerve growth factor (NGF), a neurotrophin that is fundamental in the neuron survival and development in the nervous system, in early-stage romantic love in subjects experiencing euphoria and emotional dependency, which is often a characteristic in romantic love.

### Lust

Lust, also known as libido, is defined as pursuing sexual gratification. It is primarily driven by the endocrine system, but the brain is also involved in neural processing. Specifically, the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) and hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axes play primary roles in the priming for sex as well as the stress response, respectively. Because intimacy is motivated by the reward system, steroid hormones activate desire to promote partner preference and social attachment in the process of sexual union. Dopamine is then released when an individual is aroused, which associates lust as a product of the dopaminergic reward system.

However, interactions of sex and romantic love do not have the same goal orientation, which helps to confirm the difference in brain activation patterns. Contrasting with the primary goal of romantic love, copulation can occur without two individuals being in romantic love or having a monogamous bond. Sometimes, copulation might not even occur in romantic love relationships. However, it still does play a role in successful reproduction when it is supplemented with romantic love.

### Rejection in love

Rejection in love is considered unrequited or unreciprocated love. Separation from a loved one can cause grief and sometimes lead to an individual expressing characteristics of depression. In a study, symptoms seen in nine women who had experienced a recent breakup suggested involvement of certain neuroanatomy. Eating, sleeping, and neuroendocrine regulation was associated with the hypothalamus, anhedonia was associated with the ventral striatum and the amygdala was associated with emotional processing in these women.

Other neuroanatomy that registered unrequited love included the cerebellum, insular cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, and prefrontal cortex. All of the areas that were activated showed decreased activity when subjects emotionally reflected about the beloved rejecter.

In contrast, another study observed significant increase in activation in the VTA as well as the nucleus accumbens. Further, those rejected in love had higher stimulation in the right nucleus accumbens and ventral putamen/pallidum compared to subjects who were in romantic love This study ultimately showed that areas that are activated in romantic love are also activated in rejection in love. Results from this study suggest that rejected lovers have same stimulation of brain regions because they are still "in love" with their rejecters. Since romantic love follows the dopaminergic reward system, the anticipatory nature of receiving a reward as well as deciding on losses and gains in decision making, allows the neural circuitry to become adaptable. This allows the rejected to change their behavior through two stages. The first is the "protest" stage where they try to win back the rejecter. The second stage or the "rejection" stage is where they feel resignation and despair, eventually leading to continuing life without the rejecter. On the other hand, the involvement of the reward gain/loss pathways intrinsic to survival provides insight on behaviors of stalking, suicide, obsessiveness and depression.

## Other neurological implications of intimate brain systems

### Mother–child pair bond

An attachment between a mother and child arises from behavioral changes during birth, which includes lactation. Release of oxytocin is important in the birthing process for the mother–child pair bond to occur in both individuals. Lactation relies on the constant release of oxytocin for the release of milk in the breast, which strengthens the first social bond of the infant and the mother.

Although this is considered another type of social attachment that activates the same reward system, maternal attachment activates different regions of the brain compared to those in partner attachment. In one study, overlap of activated brain regions with romantic love was found to include the nucleus accumbens, putamen, caudate nucleus, which are important in social attachment. However, the only regions that were specific to maternal love were the orbitofrontal and lateral prefrontal cortex as well as the occipital and lateral fusiform cortex. Moreover, oxytocin is important between the mother and her offspring, so it is suggested that oxytocin deficiency can influence how successfully the offspring is able to form a monogamous pair bond with another individual in the future. This may provide insight on issues with formation of pair bonds as well as psychological problems from an inefficient upbringing.

### Addictiveness

Love activates the same neural circuitry as maladaptive drugs, such as cocaine. Dopaminergic reward pathways are involved to elicit a response of gaining a reward and reinforcement, thereby leading some researchers to believe that love is addictive. Love and drugs of abuse stimulate similar levels of dopamine for reward and reinforcement from the VTA. Actions between the two mental states are very similar with those in love experiencing excessive exhilaration, insomnia, anxiety, and loss of appetite also seen in drug users. Also, brain activity observed through single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) showed that dopamine release in the basal ganglia of a subject who was romantically in love appeared similar to a subject addicted to cocaine. Although love is suggested to be addictive based on its neurological circuitry, it cannot be simplified as addictive because it is expressed in different ways across a wide spectrum.

### Gender differences in the intimate brain

#### Emotional processing

The amygdala, a key player in emotional processing, is suggested different between men and women. In males, emotions are considered to be primarily directed from the right hemisphere; on the other hand, it is primarily directed from the left hemisphere in females.

One study that tested positively and negatively valenced words on both male and female subjects found that emotional processing was indeed gender specific. In males, positively valenced words activated the left sensorimotor cortex, angular gyrus, left hippocampus, left frontal eye field and the right cerebellum, while females had activations in the right putamen, right superior temporal gyrus, left supramarginal gyrus, left inferior frontal gyrus and the left sensorimotor cortex. By contrast, negatively valenced words stimulated greater activation in the right supramarginal gyrus in males, while greater activation in the left part of the hippocampus with negative stimuli. Therefore, different brain regions in males and females could allude to differential responses emotional processing in intimate situations.

#### Jealousy

Known as the insecure feeling of a partner in regards to losing their loved one to another, jealousy can result in extreme situations such as violence and abuse from the insecure partner to their beloved. In one study, men and women were shown sentences that suggested sexual and emotional infidelity and rated the intensity of jealousy that they felt.

##### Sexual infidelity

In males, activation of brain areas that were induced by sexual infidelity laden statements included the visual cortex, middle temporal gyrus, amygdala, hippocampus, and claustrum. In females, the visual cortex, middle frontal gyrus, thalamus, and cerebellum were activated. It was found that males showed more stimulation in the amygdala in regards to sexual infidelity, while females showed greater activation in the visual cortex and thalamus. The regions in the male brain provided insight on neuroanatomy associated with sexual and aggressive behavior. These regions could be studied further in increased violent cases against partners, which are commonly due to male aggression.

##### Emotional infidelity

In males, the visual cortex, medial frontal gyrus, middle frontal gyrus, precentral gyrus, cingulate cortex, insula, hippocampus, thalamus, caudate, hypothalamus, and cerebellum were shown to be activated. In females, activations in the visual cortex, medial frontal gyrus, middle frontal gyrus, angular gyrus, thalamus, and cerebellum were noted. Male activations were greater in the precentral gyrus, insula, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and cerebellum, while women shower greater activations in the visual cortex, angular gyrus, and thalamus. Regions in the female brain have been implicated in detection of intention, deception, and trustworthiness of others. It is ultimately suggested that the different emotional processing in males and females contributes to the different responses in issues in intimate relationships.

North Macedonia provided military aid to Ukraine during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. North Macedonia is membership for the NATO which Ukraine applied for in 2022.

## History

Relations between Ukraine and North Macedonia were established on 23 July 1993, when Ukraine recognized the independence of the then Republic of Macedonia. Diplomatic relations were established 20 April 1995 by exchange of notes between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of North Macedonia. North Macedonia opened an embassy in Kyiv during December 1997. Diplomatic mission of Ukraine in North Macedonia began in June 2000. Ukraine opened an embassy in the Republic of North Macedonia during November 2001.

In July 2019, the two countries signed a deal allowing for visa-free travel for citizens of both countries in the other.

## Economic cooperation

In 2011, a number of buses built in a factory in the city of Lviv, western Ukraine, were exported to North Macedonia, numbering close to 100. Ukrainian buses are used in Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia. As of that year, the Lviv bus plant was the sole supplier of buses to North Macedonia.

## Political cooperation

A deal was reached between the ministries of culture of the two countries to sell wax figures from a Kyiv factory to a cultural museum of North Macedonia in August 2008. It was part of an agreement to expand cooperation between North Macedonia and Ukraine in the fields of culture, education, and science.

# R25 (London)

**R25** was a proposed railway orbital around the Zone 3 area of London, England. First proposed in the Mayor of London's £1.3 trillion London Infrastructure 2050 plan, the line would have used some existing Network Rail and London Overground lines, linked by stretches of new railway.

## History

The R25 nickname alludes to London's M25 orbital motorway. The idea featured in news media when the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, visited Barking Riverside, a large development held up by lack of rail access in 2014. The idea of extending the Gospel Oak to Barking line trains onto the Tilbury Loop line to serve a station near Barking Riverside had already gained some ground having been mentioned in the 2013 budget statement, but news reports showed a Tube map-like extract with a new line crossing the River Thames to serve Abbey Wood.

There have also been calls to extend the line further south across the river to Thamesmead and Abbey Wood. In August 2017, the Government granted permission for the extension of the Gospel Oak to Barking line and a provision for a stop at Renwick Road (if needed) and states that a further extension across the Thames should be provisioned. The new station at Barking Riverside opened on 18 July 2022, but any further extension across the river was dropped in favour of extending the Docklands Light Railway from Gallions Reach.

City Metric have produced a map of what the R25 might look like in detail.

# Wu Xiubo

**Wu Xiubo** (Chinese: 吴秀波; pinyin: *Wú Xiùbō* , born 5 September 1968), is a Chinese actor, musician and producer. He rose to prominence for his role in the television drama *Before the Dawn (2009)*, followed by a series of hit shows such as *Angel Heart* (2012), *Divorce Lawyers* (2013), and *The Advisors Alliance (2017).* He is also known for romcom *Finding Mr. Right* (2013) and its sequel *Book of Love* (2016). In 2018, Wu's career was suspended by an extramarital scandal.

Wu ranked 43rd on *Forbes* China Celebrity 100 list in 2013, 29th in 2014, 33rd in 2015, 26th in 2017, and 26th in 2019.

## Early life

Wu was born and raised in Beijing, China. His father, who died in 2007, was a diplomat, and his stepmother is a pharmacist. Wu has one older step-brother who is a physicist.

As a teenager, Wu became involved in the arts, particularly painting, drawing, poetry, and singing. In 1984, at the age of 17, he joined a state-owned theater company and was trained at the acting program of the Central Academy of Drama on contract. After graduating in 1987, he worked an assortment of jobs, such as running a restaurant, karaoke hall, and clothing shop. In the 90s, Wu became a singer popular with karaoke halls in Beijing. In 1995, Wu left the theater company to become a professional singer. He released an album in 1996 to lackluster reaction.

## Career

In 2001, Wu started working as an agent for his childhood friend, actress Liu Bei. In 2002, when his wife was pregnant, Wu returned to acting with the help of Liu and her then husband, TV producer Zhang Jian, who cast Wu as the leading man in the television drama *Crime Investigate* (2002).

Wu first drew attention for his performance in the war drama *Sword & Spy*, which won him the Most Popular Actor award at the TVS Award Ceremony. He rose to fame in 2010 for his role as an undercover Communist Party member in hit spy drama *Before Dawn*. The same year, he starred in the historical drama *The Case of an Orphan named Zhao*, for which Wu was nominated for the International Emmy Award for Best Actor.

In 2012, Wu starred in the medical drama *Angel Heart*, based on best-selling writer Liu Liu's novel. In 2013, Wu starred in the romantic comedy film *Finding Mr. Right* alongside Tang Wei, which was a box office hit. His success continued in 2014 when he starred in *Divorce Lawyer*, where Wu played a divorce lawyer trying to adjust to his new life after his wife's betrayal and the loss of his divorce case. The same year, he starred in the drama *A Civic Yuppie in Countryside*, for which he won the Outstanding Actor award at the Flying Apsaras Awards.

Wu starred in the musical television series *My Youth High Eight Degrees*, playing a club director who leads a gang of misfits with hidden musical talents, whipping them into shape and competing in the national choir competition. Despite achieving stellar ratings, the show was slammed for plagiarism accusations.

In 2015, Wu starred in the historical drama *Troubled Scholarly.* Wu and Tang then teamed up again to film the sequel of *Finding Mr. Right*, titled *Book of Love* (2016), which became the highest grossing Chinese romantic film of all time. In 2017, Wu played strategist Sima Yi in the historical drama *The Advisors Alliance*.

In 2018, Wu starred alongside Angelababy in the urban drama *City of Desire*, about two people of different world helping each other out of their battle with depression. The show, however, has been mothballed for Wu's extramarital scandal.

## Personal life

Wu is a Buddhist and vegetarian. In 2014, PETA named him as Asia's Sexiest Male Vegetarian Celebrity. Wu is also a billiards enthusiast.

Wu married He Zhenya in 2001. They live in Beijing with their two sons Hanhan (born 2003) and Xiaoyu (born 2007).

In September 2018, Chinese actress Ruby Chen went public with her seven-year affair with Wu. In January 2019, Chen was arrested by the police for blackmailing Wu, resulting in Wu receiving public criticism for his revenge on the ex-lover. The films and TV programs Wu was working on were impacted by the scandal, with some being canceled or editing him out of scenes.

# Midai River embankments

The **Midai River embankments** (御勅使川旧堤防, *Midai gawa kyū-teibō iseki*) was a system of flood control levees constructed by the Sengoku period warlord Takeda Shingen to protect the central Kōfu Basin in the Chūbu region of Japan. These levees were located in what is now the cities of Nirasaki and Minami-Alps in Yamanashi Prefecture. The remnants were designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 2003, with the area under designation expanded in 2009.

## Overview

The Midai River is an 18.6 kilometer long tributary of the Kamanashi River which originates in the Southern Alps. It was subject to flash flooding due to snow melt off in spring and typhoons in summer and autumn. Massively flooding had been known to occur since ancient times, and even the name of the Midai River (御勅使川) comes from the fact that an Imperial envoy was sent to the area in 825 AD to investigate a flood disaster. The warlord of Kai Province, Takeda Shingen, considered that control of the river was essential for his clan to prosper and to control the province, as Kai Province had relatively little flat land for agriculture, and what little existed was concentrated on the flood plain of the Kamanashi River. Almost immediately after seizing power in the province from his father in 1541, he began an ambitious series of civil engineering projects which would continue over the next 20 years. His attention was first drawn to the alluvial fan of the Midai River at its confluence with the Kamanashi River, which flooded in 1542. Despite its relatively small size, this river carried a huge amount of earth and sand, forming an alluvial fan with an area four kilometers in radius. When the river flooded, it would push this debris into the main Kamanashi River, causing it to push the flow of the larger river into the Kōfu Basin. Therefore, in order to control the larger river, it was essential to control the Midai River first.

Shingen's strategy was to construct a series of dikes to solidify the flow path of the Midai River as it crossed the alluvial fan and to direct it to a series of pentagonal-shaped levees (patterned after a *shogi* chess pieces), which would divide the flow. A number of channels were dug to guide the divided flow to the Kamanashi River. In addition, a group of 16 huge boulders were places in the path of the merging flow to reduce the water velocity and kinetic energy, and location for the flow merging into the Kamanashi River was selected to be opposite the Takaiwa cliffs to further reduce its energy. Further levees were constructed along the banks of the Kamanashi River itself; in places these levees were doubled or even tripled as insurance in case the flood managed to breach the primary levee. In order to ensure the maintenance of these works, he exempted people living nearby from taxation in return for providing maintenance on the levees and promoted local *matsuri* to educate the people on the importance of flood control. Construction is estimated to have taken over twenty years. However, despite these efforts, flooding continued to occur during the Edo period (most notably in 1653), and the shape of the embankments have been altered a number of times.

The remaining portions of the levee is located 70 minutes on foot from the "Shio no Mae Iriguchi" bus stop on the Yamanashi Kotsu Bus from Kōfu Station on the JR Tōkai Chūō Main Line.

# Middleton S. Barnwell

**Middleton Stuart Barnwell** (September 9, 1882 – May 6, 1957) was the seventh Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Idaho and the fifth Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia. Barnwell was the 349th bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America. He was also the first president of what is now Boise State University.

## Life

Middleton S. Barnwell was born September 9, 1882, in Louisville, Kentucky. He was graduated from Centre College in Danville, Kentucky, with an associate degree and earned his Bachelor's in Divinity and later honorary doctorate from the Episcopal Virginia Theological Seminary. Barnwell served as the assistant rector at Christ Chapel in Baltimore in 1909. In 1911, he became rector of St. Andrew's Church in New Bedford, Massachusetts. While serving St. Andrew's, Barnwell married Margaret Thorne Lighthall (1889–1960).

He worked at the Church of the Advent in Birmingham, Alabama, from 1913 to 1923. Barnwell then became field secretary to the Protestant Episcopal Church and then was consecrated Bishop of Idaho in 1925.

During this time in the late 1920s and early 1930s, Bishop Barnwell ran St. Margaret's School, a secondary girls' academy in Boise, Idaho. With the Depression, more girls began to attend public school. Bishop Barnwell advocated that the academy become a junior college so that local high school graduates could begin their college education without out-of-state costs. In February, 1932, he began working to form a junior college out of St. Margaret's. While he found no local support, Barnwell did secure funding from The Episcopal Church. September 6, 1932, Boise Junior College opened its doors to about 75 students and fourteen faculty members (eight of whom were full-time). He told its first graduates,

> All achievement begins in vision and continues through labor and through faith which is the most misunderstood word in the English language. Faith is not believing something you can't prove, faith is seeing something which is as yet invisible. And that's the sort of faith which we began this school.

Bishop Barnwell served as the college's president from 1932 until 1934. At that time he recommended that Boise Junior College become a public institution. The school is now Boise State University.

Barnwell had served in as Bishop of Idaho for nearly a decade when the call for a bishop coadjutor went out from the Diocese of Georgia. The election of a successor to Bishop F. F. Reese took two conventions to be decided. On August 30, 1934, a special convention was held at Grace Church, Waycross and failed in twelve ballots to elect a new bishop. A second session met January 15, 1935 at St. Paul's, Augusta and took nine more ballots to elect Barnwell as the fifth Bishop of the Diocese of Georgia.

At the time of his election, there were 16 parishes, 21 organized missions, 13 unorganized missions, five mission stations and one parochial mission. The still segregated church records noted 5,391 white and 1,029 black communicants. During his tenure as bishop, which lasted until 1954 the Diocese grew to 8,156 total communicants with two more churches becoming parishes and four additional missions created.

On the 10th year of his consecration as bishop of Georgia, he told the Diocese

> The happiest and most useful relationship for a Bishop or Priest is that of Friend to his people. It means trust—and service—and love. And beyond this there is nothing else.

He served as Bishop of Georgia from 1936 to 1954.

On the occasion of his retirement he said of serving as bishop that a bishop needed, "robust health and a good driving ability" and for a large diocese like Georgia one should be "either celibate, or a man who is very unhappily married...for he will live on the highway." He went on to speak of "relentless weekends" visiting the scattered churches of the Diocese and "in between he tries to make friends with his wife and others who live in his home town." He died in Savannah on May 6, 1957. Bishop Barnwell and his wife Maggie had no children. She died in 1960. The couple is buried at Savannah's Bonaventure cemetery.

He was succeeded by Albert R. Stuart as Bishop of Georgia.

# Middleton Stuart Elliott

**Middleton Stuart Elliott Jr.** (October 16, 1872 – October 29, 1952) was a United States Navy admiral and a Medal of Honor recipient for his role in the United States occupation of Veracruz.

## Biography

Elliott was born on October 16, 1872, in Beaufort, South Carolina. His father was Middleton Stuart Elliott Sr. (1841–1921), who served in the Beaufort Volunteer Artillery in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. His uncle was Brigadier General Stephen Elliott. He was raised in Beaufort and attended medical school at Columbia College, known later as George Washington University.

Elliott was appointed from South Carolina to the United States Navy as a Passed Assistant Surgeon, with the rank of ensign. After briefly serving at the Naval Laboratory in New York, he reported to USS *Porter* then transferred to USS *Texas*, where he participated in the Spanish–American War. In October 1899, Elliott was promoted to lieutenant (junior grade) and ordered to Port Royal Naval Station, South Carolina. Following this duty, he served on USS *Annapolis* (PG-10), USS *Kentucky* (BB-6) and USS *New York* (ACR-2). While at sea, he was promoted to lieutenant. In March 1903, Elliott was promoted to Surgeon with the corresponding rank of lieutenant commander. In November, he reported to Naval Hospital Norfolk, Virginia. Two years later, he served in succession on board the monitor USS *Florida* (BM-9), USS *St. Louis* (C-20) and USS *Maine* (BB-10). In November 1908, he was assigned to the Naval Hospital in Washington D.C.

In mid-1911, Elliott was ordered to USS *Utah* (BB-31), transferring to USS *Florida* (BB-30). While on *Florida*, he participated as a Surgeon in the intervention at Vera Cruz, Mexico. On April 21, 1914, he quickly established a base hospital and supervised the removal of the wounded and field station operations until the city's capture the next day. For his "distinguished conduct in battle" on this occasion, he was awarded the Medal of Honor. That summer, he reported for shore duty at the Navy Recruiting Station in New York City. While on recruiting duty in August 1916, he was promoted to Medical Inspector with the corresponding rank of commander. During World War I, he commanded the Naval Hospital and Supply Depot at Cañacao Bay, Philippines. In January 1918, Elliott was promoted Medical Director with the corresponding rank of captain. Returning to Washington D.C. in December 1919, he assumed command of the Naval Hospital.

In April 1923, Elliott served at the Mare Island Navy Yard, Vallejo, California, followed by a tour at the Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton, Washington. In June 1927, he was promoted to rear admiral, which made him the first medical officer in the United States Navy to reach the rank of admiral. In June 1929, he became the District Medical Officer for the Eleventh Naval District based in San Diego, California. Returning to Washington, D.C. three years later, he served on the Naval Retirement Board observing Medical and Naval Exams. Remaining in the area during the last quarter of 1933, he became an inspector at the Medical Department Activities section within the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. In January 1935, Elliott became the president of the Naval Retirement Board. In December, he was appointed as the Inspector of Medical Department Activities for the Eleventh, Twelve, Thirteenth, and Fourteenth Naval Districts. In November 1936, he retired and was placed on the retired list. During World War II, he was briefly recalled to active duty in February 1942, was promoted to vice admiral, and then was placed back on the retired list with his promoted rank. Elliott died on October 29, 1952, and is buried at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, San Diego, California.

In 2004, the elementary school at the Marine Corps Base Beaufort, South Carolina, was named in his honor.

## Medal of Honor citation

Elliott's official Medal of Honor citation reads:

> For distinguished conduct in battle, engagements of Vera Cruz, 21 and 22 April 1914. Surg. Elliott was eminent and conspicuous in the efficient establishment and operation of the base hospital, and in his cool judgment and courage in supervising first aid stations on the firing line and removing the wounded.

# Microcotyle pempheri

***Microcotyle pempheri*** is a species of monogenean, parasitic on the gills of a marine fish. It belongs to the family Microcotylidae.

## Taxonomy

*Microcotyle pempheri* was first described by Machida & Azaki in 1977, from the gills of *Pempheris xanthoptera* (Pempheridae) off southern Japan. The specific epithet *pempheri* is not explained in the original description but obviously derives from the generic name of the type host *Pempheris xanthoptera*.

## Description

*Microcotyle pempheri* has the general morphology of all species of *Microcotyle*, with an elongate body, comprising an anterior part which contains most organs and a posterior part called the haptor. The haptor is in form of an inverse triangle and bears 75-103 clamps, arranged as two rows, one on each side. The clamps of the haptor attach the animal to the gill of the fish. There are also two buccal suckers at the anterior extremity. The digestive organs include an anterior, terminal mouth, a globular to oval pharynx, a simple oesophagus bifurcating posteriorly to the genital pore and a posterior intestine with two branches provided with short lateral branches. Each adult contains male and female reproductive organs. The reproductive organs include an anterior large cup-shaped muscular genital atrium, densely armed with thorn-like spines, a dorsal vagina opening some distance posteriorly to the genital pore, a single tubular ovary shaped like a question mark, vitellaria and 11-21 testes oval or irregular in shape. Eggs are fusiform, with a very long anterior filament and much shorter posterior filament.

The species can be distinguished from the most closely related species *Microcotyle emmelichthyops* Yamaguti, 1968 by the absence of a posterior chamber in the genital atrium, a smaller number of testes and the structure of the middle spring of the clamp.

## Hosts and localities

The type and only recorded host of the species is the sweeper, *Pempheris xanthoptera* (Pempheridae). The type locality is off Tanegashima Island, southern Japan.
