Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing01:05

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

10.3K
In the same year as the discovery of the Sanger sequencing method, another group of scientists, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert, demonstrated their chemical-cleavage method for DNA sequencing. The Maxam-Gilbert method relies on using different chemicals that can cleave the DNA sequence at specific sites, the separation of resulting DNA fragments of variable size using electrophoresis, and deciphering the DNA sequence from the resulting gel bands.

Next-generation Sequencing

87.2K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Sequences

490
Sequences are fundamental mathematical objects consisting of ordered lists of numbers that follow a specific rule or pattern. Sequences are critical in various mathematical concepts, including calculus, series, and number theory. They can model real-world phenomena such as population growth, financial investments, and physical processes like the diminishing height of a bouncing ball.Each number in a sequence is referred to as a term. Typically, the terms are denoted as a1, a2, a3,…, where...

Sanger Sequencing

799.9K
DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Major Somatic Sensory Pathways01:28

Major Somatic Sensory Pathways

3.1K
Sensory impulses related to touch, pressure, vibration, and proprioception from various body parts, such as the limbs, trunk, neck, and posterior head, travel to the cerebral cortex through the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway. The pathway’s name derives from the two white-matter tracts that convey the impulses: the spinal cord's posterior column and the brainstem's medial lemniscus. First-order sensory neurons extend their axons into the spinal cord, forming the...

Role of Cerebellum and Prefrontal Cortex in Memory01:14

Role of Cerebellum and Prefrontal Cortex in Memory

1.5K
The cerebellum, while traditionally associated with motor control, also plays a crucial role in memory, particularly in procedural memory, which involves learning motor tasks that become automatic through repetition. For example, studies have shown that when the cerebellum is damaged, individuals or animals lose the ability to learn conditioned motor responses, such as the conditioned eye-blink response in classical conditioning experiments with rabbits. This study demonstrates the...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Neurobiology
  • Computational Neuroscience

Background:

  • The brain's predictive capabilities are crucial for various cognitive functions, including perception, decision-making, and error correction.
  • The cerebellum is implicated in the "predictive brain" due to its internal model generation.
  • Predicting future events is adaptive, aiding in error avoidance and adaptive behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the cerebellum's role in predictive processing.
  • To propose and test the "sequence detection" hypothesis for cerebellar function.
  • To link cerebellar function to cognitive impairments observed in neurological disorders.

Main Methods:

  • The study focuses on the cerebellum's proposed operational mode in predictive processing.
  • The "sequence detection" hypothesis posits the cerebellum detects and simulates event patterns.
  • Internal models are generated by the cerebellum for prediction based on detected sequences.

Main Results:

  • The cerebellum demonstrates the ability to recognize serial events as sequences.
  • The cerebellum can detect violations within established event sequences.
  • The cerebellum successfully reconstructs correct event sequences after violations.

Conclusions:

  • The cerebellum's primary function in predictive processing is sequence detection.
  • Pattern detection, prediction, and anticipation processing are proposed as cerebellum-specific functions.
  • The sequence detection hypothesis offers a unifying explanation for diverse impairments seen in cerebellar damage, potentially advancing understanding of conditions like schizophrenia and autism.
