Intrinsically Disordered Proteins02:18

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

19.6K
Intrinsically disordered proteins are a group of proteins that do not fold into specific three-dimensional structures. Their structural flexibility allows them to complement ordered proteins to perform functions that are inaccessible to rigid structures. They are more common in eukaryotes than prokaryotes and may either be exclusively intrinsically disordered or hybrid proteins, consisting of a mix of ordered and disordered regions. The absence of a rigid structure in these proteins can be...

The Auditory Ossicles

3.2K
The auditory ossicles of the middle ear transmit sounds from the air as vibrations to the fluid-filled cochlea. The auditory ossicles consist of two malleus (hammer) bones, two incus (anvil) bones, and two stapes (stirrups), one on each side. These bones develop during the fetal stage and are the ones to ossify first. They are fully mature at birth and do not grow afterward.
The aptly named stapes look very much like a stirrup. The three ossicles are unique to mammals, and each plays a role in...

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis01:20

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis

13.3K
Blood clotting or coagulation involves extrinsic and intrinsic pathways, which ultimately merge into the common pathway, forming a fibrin clot.
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which...

The Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway01:31

The Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway

8.7K
Internal cellular stress, such as cellular injury or hypoxia, triggers intrinsic apoptosis. The B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family of proteins are the primary regulators of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. For example, during DNA damage, checkpoint proteins, such as Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM protein) and Checkpoints Factor-2 (Chk2) proteins, are activated. These proteins phosphorylate p53 which further activates pro-apoptotic proteins, such as Bax, Bak, PUMA, and Noxa, and inhibits...

Auditory Perception01:17

Auditory Perception

1.2K
The auditory system is essential for sound perception, utilizing various critical structures. When sound waves enter the outer ear, they travel through the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted to the middle ear, where three tiny bones – the malleus, incus, and stapes – amplify the sound. This amplification is crucial, as it ensures that the sound vibrations are strong enough to be conveyed to the inner ear. These vibrations then reach the...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Auditory Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Neuroscience

Background:

  • The hierarchical and modular organization of the auditory cortex (AC) is a key hypothesis in primate models but requires validation in humans.
  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) connectivity offers a potential method to investigate human AC organization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if fMRI connectivity at rest and during active tasks can inform the functional organization of the human AC.
  • To compare human AC organization with existing primate models.

Main Methods:

  • fMRI connectivity analysis was performed at rest and during auditory stimulation across various tasks (visual discrimination, pitch discrimination, pitch n-back).
  • Identical pitch-varying sounds were presented across tasks to isolate connectivity differences related to task demands.
  • Multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) was used to detect significant connectivity differences between conditions.

Main Results:

  • A network structure with six modules was identified in the supratemporal plane (STP), temporal lobe, and inferior parietal lobule (IPL).
  • Higher inter-modular connectivity was observed in regions surrounding the STP module, consistent with primate models.
  • Significant connectivity differences were found between tasks, particularly involving the STP and IPL modules, indicating their dynamic role in auditory processing.

Conclusions:

  • The study validates a modular organization of the human AC, aligning with primate models.
  • It underscores the crucial role of the human inferior parietal lobule (IPL) in processing both task-irrelevant and task-relevant auditory information.
  • fMRI connectivity, both at rest and during active listening, provides valuable insights into human AC functional organization.
