The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison02:57

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

56.1K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Lewis Acids and Bases02:33

Lewis Acids and Bases

In 1923, G. N. Lewis proposed a generalized definition of acid-base behavior in which acids and bases are identified by their ability to accept or to donate a pair of electrons and form a coordinate covalent bond.
A coordinate covalent bond (or dative bond) occurs when one of the atoms in the bond provides both bonding electrons. For example, a coordinate covalent bond occurs when a water molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form a hydronium ion. A coordinate covalent bond also results when...

Weak Base Solutions

25.3K
Some compounds produce hydroxide ions when dissolved by chemically reacting with water molecules. In all cases, these compounds react only partially and so are classified as weak bases. These types of compounds are also abundant in nature and important commodities in various technologies. For example, global production of the weak base ammonia is typically well over 100 metric tons annually, being widely used as an agricultural fertilizer, a raw material for chemical synthesis of other...

Base Excision Repair01:54

Base Excision Repair

26.4K
One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.
The first step of...

Salts with Acidic Ions
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:

Summary

Voxel-based cortical thickness (VBCT) and voxel-based morphometry (VBM) are used to study brain aging. VBCT is more sensitive than VBM for detecting age-related grey matter decline, suggesting combined use for detailed analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Neuroscience
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Cortical grey matter morphology is typically assessed using T1-weighted MRI and automated methods like VBM and cortical thickness analysis.
  • Understanding age-related changes in grey matter is crucial for diagnosing neurological conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare grey matter changes identified by voxel-based cortical thickness (VBCT) with those identified by voxel-based morphometry (VBM).
  • To evaluate the sensitivity of VBCT versus VBM in detecting age-associated grey matter decline in healthy aging populations.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized T1-weighted MRI data from a healthy aging cohort.
  • Applied voxel-based cortical thickness (VBCT) and voxel-based morphometry (VBM) to analyze grey matter morphology.
  • Focused analysis on brain regions known to exhibit age-related changes.

Main Results:

  • VBCT and VBM demonstrated highly consistent results in healthy aging.
  • VBCT proved to be a more sensitive measure of age-associated grey matter decline compared to VBM.
  • VBM measures a combination of cortical thickness, surface area, and folding, while VBCT specifically assesses cortical thickness.

Conclusions:

  • VBCT and VBM provide complementary information for analyzing grey matter changes.
  • Combining VBCT and VBM allows for a more nuanced separation of underlying structural alterations in the cortex.
  • This integrated approach enhances the utility of neuroimaging in studying brain aging and related conditions.
