The Tree of Life - Bacteria, Archaea, Eukaryotes02:40

The Tree of Life - Bacteria, Archaea, Eukaryotes

39.4K
The “tree of life” describes the evolution of life and the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The root of the tree is the common ancestor to all life on Earth. All other species radiate from this point, much like the branches of a tree. The numerous tips of these branches on the tree of life represent every living, or extant, species. Extinct species, which are species that no longer exist, can be found towards the center of the tree. Currently, these organisms, both...

Survival Tree01:19

Survival Tree

437
Survival trees are a non-parametric method used in survival analysis to model the relationship between a set of covariates and the time until an event of interest occurs, often referred to as the "time-to-event" or "survival time." This method is particularly useful when dealing with censored data, where the event has not occurred for some individuals by the end of the study period, or when the exact time of the event is unknown.

Phylogenetic Trees

50.1K
Phylogenetic trees come in many forms. It matters in which sequence the organisms are arranged from the bottom to the top of the tree, but the branches can rotate at their nodes without altering the information. The lines connecting individual nodes can be straight, angled, or even curved.

The Bronchial Tree

7.0K
The human bronchi and bronchial tree play a crucial role in the respiratory system, facilitating the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Let's delve into the intricate structure and functions of these respiratory components.
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi. At a point called the carina, it bifurcates into two primary bronchi. The right primary bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left primary...

Visual System01:26

Visual System

Light enters the eye through the cornea, a transparent, dome-shaped surface covering the surface of the eyeball that helps to direct and focus incoming light. This light is then channeled toward the pupil, an adjustable opening whose size is controlled by the iris. The iris, a pigmented muscle, regulates the amount of light entering the eye by contracting or dilating the pupil, thereby ensuring optimal light levels for clear vision.
Once through the pupil, the light passes through the lens, a...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Visual System Research
  • Comparative Anatomy

Background:

  • The secondary visual system, distinct from the primary geniculostriate pathway, plays a crucial role in visual processing.
  • Vivien Casagrande's foundational research in tree shrews elucidated key aspects of this system.
  • Understanding these pathways is vital for comprehending visual information flow beyond the main cortical route.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a historical overview of the secondary visual system's discovery.
  • To review Vivien Casagrande's pioneering studies on this pathway using tree shrews.
  • To discuss the organization, connectivity, and potential functions of the secondary visual system.

Main Methods:

  • Historical review of scientific literature.
  • Analysis of studies on tree shrew visual pathways.
  • Examination of retinal, superior colliculus, pulvinar, and dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus organization and projections.

Main Results:

  • Detailed account of the secondary visual pathway's discovery and evolution.
  • Comprehensive review of tree shrew visual system organization and central projections.
  • Elucidation of the retino-recipient superior colliculus, tecto-recipient pulvinar, and dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus connectivity.

Conclusions:

  • The secondary visual system comprises distinct anatomical and functional components.
  • Tree shrews serve as a valuable model for studying these visual pathways.
  • Further research into the secondary visual system's functions is warranted, informed by its historical context and behavioral studies.
