Resting Membrane Potential

22.2K
The relative difference in electrical charge, or voltage, between the inside and the outside of a cell membrane, is called the membrane potential. It is generated by differences in permeability of the membrane to various ions and the concentrations of these ions across the membrane.
The Inside of a Neuron is More Negative
The membrane potential of a cell can be measured by inserting a microelectrode into a cell and comparing the charge to a reference electrode in the extracellular fluid. The...

Resting Potential Decay

6.5K
The resting membrane potential of a neuron (-70mV) is sustained due to the selective ion permeability of the membrane. At the resting potential, the membrane is slightly permeable to ions like sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl−) and highly permeable to potassium ions (K+). Differences in the ions' concentration inside the cell compared to the outside are maintained by membrane transport proteins like channels and pumps.
At rest, the K+ is the main ion that moves across the membrane...

Oscillations In An LC Circuit01:30

Oscillations In An LC Circuit

3.2K
An idealized LC circuit of zero resistance can oscillate without any source of emf by shifting the energy stored in the circuit between the electric and magnetic fields. In such an LC circuit, if the capacitor contains a charge q before the switch is closed, then all the energy of the circuit is initially stored in the electric field of the capacitor. This energy is given by

Forced Oscillations01:06

Forced Oscillations

8.0K
When an oscillator is forced with a periodic driving force, the motion may seem chaotic. The motions of such oscillators are known as transients. After the transients die out, the oscillator reaches a steady state, where the motion is periodic, and the displacement is determined.

Damped Oscillations01:07

Damped Oscillations

7.4K
In the real world, oscillations seldom follow true simple harmonic motion. A system that continues its motion indefinitely without losing its amplitude is termed undamped. However, friction of some sort usually dampens the motion, so it fades away or needs more force to continue. For example, a guitar string stops oscillating a few seconds after being plucked. Similarly, one must continually push a swing to keep a child swinging on a playground.
Although friction and other non-conservative...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Abnormal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulsatility is linked to neurological conditions like multiple sclerosis and hypertension.
  • Subarachnoid space (SAS) width fluctuations are a consequence of CSF pulsatility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize SAS width dynamics using a combination of NIR-T/BSS and wavelet analysis.
  • To investigate SAS width dynamics across a broad frequency range (0.005–2 Hz), with a focus on low frequencies.
  • To explore relationships between SAS width, blood pressure (BP), age, and interhemispheric SAS correlation.

Main Methods:

  • Near-infrared transillumination backscattering sounding (NIR-T/BSS) for measuring SAS width changes.
  • Wavelet analysis for characterizing SAS width dynamics across various frequencies.
  • Simultaneous recording of SAS width and blood pressure (BP) in resting-state.

Main Results:

  • Detailed characterization of SAS width dynamics, particularly at low frequencies (0.005–2 Hz).
  • Demonstrated correlations between SAS width in both brain hemispheres.
  • Revealed relationships between SAS width dynamics and blood pressure (BP), influenced by age and SAS correlation.

Conclusions:

  • The combination of NIR-T/BSS and time-frequency analysis provides a novel method for assessing CSF pulsatility.
  • This approach has the potential to enhance the understanding and diagnosis of neurodegenerative and age-related diseases.
  • Improved diagnostic procedures and patient prognoses may be achievable through this advanced technique.
