Protein Networks

Protein Networks

An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Physiological Pharmacokinetic Models: Blood Flow-Limited Versus Diffusion-Limited Models

Physiological Pharmacokinetic Models: Blood Flow-Limited Versus Diffusion-Limited Models

Physiological pharmacokinetic models, often called flow-limited or perfusion models, typically assume a swift drug distribution between tissue and venous blood, creating a rapid drug equilibrium. This premise is based on the idea that drug diffusion is extremely fast, and the cell membrane presents no barrier to drug permeation. In this scenario, where no drug binding occurs, the drug concentration in the tissue equals that of the venous blood leaving the tissue. This greatly simplifies the...

Background:

Human connectomics aims to map neural pathways for brain function.
Diffusion MRI infers white matter connectivity but lacks directionality and functional expression.
Understanding distributed brain function requires characterizing effective connectivity beyond anatomical pathways.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the role of biophysical network models in addressing limitations of current connectomics methods.
To demonstrate how these models can reconcile anatomical and functional brain data.
To explore the application of validated models in translational research for understanding disease mechanisms.

Main Methods:

Utilizing biophysical network models to integrate diffusion MRI (anatomical) and functional imaging (e.g., FMRI, M/EEG) data.
Characterizing effective connectivity and its context-sensitivity (task-modulation).
Investigating changes in connectivity related to synaptic plasticity.

Main Results:

Biophysical network models offer a principled approach to conciliate multimodal brain imaging data.
These models provide biophysically meaningful parameters for a deeper understanding of brain function.
The approach facilitates the study of context-dependent neural dynamics and plasticity.

Conclusions:

Biophysical network models are crucial for advancing human connectomics by overcoming limitations in inferring directed and functional connectivity.
These models enable a more comprehensive understanding of brain function, including its dynamic and context-sensitive nature.
Validated models hold significant translational potential for elucidating the mechanisms underlying neurological and psychiatric disorders.
