Notch Signaling Pathway03:14

Notch Signaling Pathway

6.6K
The Notch signaling pathway is a major intracellular signaling pathway that is highly conserved over a broad spectrum of metazoan species. It stands unique from other intracellular signaling mechanisms in animals because notch protein itself acts as the receptor as well as the primary signaling molecule.
The Notch gene came into the limelight in 1914 after the discovery that its mutation in Drosophila melanogaster leads to a serrated (or "notched") wing margin phenotype. It was not...

Hedgehog Signaling Pathway02:33

Hedgehog Signaling Pathway

10.1K
The Hedgehog gene (Hh) was first discovered due to its control of the growth of disorganized, hair-like bristles phenotype in Drosophila, much like hedgehog spines. Hh plays a crucial role in the development of organs and the maintenance of homeostasis in both invertebrates and vertebrates. However, while Drosophila has only one Hh protein, mammals have multiple functional Hedgehog proteins - Sonic (Shh), Desert (Dhh), and Indian Hedgehog (Ihh). All of these homologous proteins have adapted to...

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways01:19

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways

7.4K
Signaling cascades usually lack linearity. Multiple pathways interact and regulate one another, allowing cells to integrate and respond to diverse environmental stimuli.
Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...

Non-Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathways01:41

Non-Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathways

8.5K
Wnt is a zygotic effect gene that is expressed during very early embryonic development. It regulates various processes in animals starting from early development through the adult stage, such as organogenesis in the embryo and maintenance of neuronal and blood stem cells. Wnt proteins can induce a wide variety of intracellular pathways depending upon the specific abilities of different Wnt ligands to form a complex with shared and cognate receptors in the presence of different co-receptors. The...

Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathway02:54

Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathway

10.7K
The gene encoding the main signaling molecules of the Wnt signaling pathways (the Wnt proteins) was discovered almost four decades ago by Nüsslein-Volhard and Wieschaus. They identified and originally named the gene "wingless" (wg) after a phenotype discovered during their landmark genetic screen in Drosophila for body pattern defects. At around the same time, another researcher named Harold Varmus found that a murine tumor virus activates the mammalian wg homolog, Int-1, which...

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway02:26

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway

10.1K
The transcription factor NF-κB was discovered in 1986 in the lab of Nobel laureate Professor David Baltimore, for its interaction with the immunoglobulin light chain enhancer in B-cells. After more than three decades of study, it is now evident that NF-κB regulates the expression of over 100 genes. Most of these genes play an essential role in the innate and adaptive immune responses as well as the inflammatory responses of animals.

Summary

Investigating cone signals, this study found that M- and L-cone flicker perception involves a slow, delayed signal (around 30ms) originating in the retina, influencing visual processing.

Area of Science:

  • Visual neuroscience
  • Retinal physiology
  • Cone photoreceptor function

Background:

  • Understanding cone signal processing is crucial for visual perception.
  • The luminance and achromatic pathways are key components of visual information processing.
  • Temporal dynamics of cone signals under chromatic adaptation are not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the perceptual timing of M- and L-cone signals.
  • To determine how temporal frequency and chromatic adaptation affect cone flicker perception.
  • To identify the origin of slow signals in cone pathways.

Main Methods:

  • Measuring perceptual timing of M- or L-cone-isolating flicker.
  • Superimposing cone-isolating flicker on equichromatic flicker backgrounds.
  • Systematic variation of background wavelength and radiance across four observers.

Main Results:

  • Substantial perceptual delays/advances in L- and M-cone flicker were observed.
  • These delays varied systematically with cone class, background wavelength, and radiance.
  • A model incorporating a fast and a slow (approx. 30ms delayed) cone signal copy explained the results.

Conclusions:

  • Slow postreceptoral signals, likely originating in the retina (horizontal cells), influence cone flicker perception.
  • These slow signals are not solely due to cone adaptation but arise from retinal processing.
  • Luminance-equated stimuli may inadvertently activate these slow luminance channel signals.
