G-protein Coupled Receptors01:21

G-protein Coupled Receptors

132.2K
G-protein coupled receptors are ligand binding receptors that indirectly affect changes in the cell. The actual receptor is a single polypeptide that transverses the cell membrane seven times creating intracellular and extracellular loops. The extracellular loops create a ligand specific pocket which binds to neurotransmitters or hormones. The intracellular loops holds onto the G-protein.

Perceptual Constancy01:12

Perceptual Constancy

1.5K
Perceptual constancy is the ability to recognize that objects remain consistent and unchanged even when their appearance varies due to changes in sensory input. There are four main types of perceptual constancy: size constancy, shape constancy, color constancy, and brightness constancy.
Size constancy is the recognition that an object remains the same size, even when its image on the retina changes. For instance, a bus is perceived to be large enough to carry people, even if it looks tiny from...

Pulse amplitude and quality01:17

Pulse amplitude and quality

3.3K
Pulse amplitude is a crucial indicator of cardiac health because it provides valuable insights into the strength of left ventricular contractions and the overall uniformity of blood circulation within the vasculature. The strength of the pulse is directly related to the force with which the heart contracts and the volume of blood being pumped.
A weak or absent pulse may indicate reduced cardiac output or poor left ventricular contraction, which can be signs of cardiovascular dysfunction or...

Phase Diagrams

50.5K
A phase diagram combines plots of pressure versus temperature for the liquid-gas, solid-liquid, and solid-gas phase-transition equilibria of a substance. These diagrams indicate the physical states that exist under specific conditions of pressure and temperature and also provide the pressure dependence of the phase-transition temperatures (melting points, sublimation points, boiling points). Regions or areas labeled solid, liquid, and gas represent single phases, while lines or curves represent...

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)01:20

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)

1.7K
Two NMR-active nuclei bonded to a central atom can be involved in geminal or two-bond coupling. Geminal coupling is commonly seen between diastereotopic protons in chiral molecules and unsymmetrical alkenes, among others.
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...

Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)01:22

Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)

1.5K
Vicinal or three-bond coupling is commonly observed between protons attached to adjacent carbons. Here, nuclear spin information is primarily transferred via electron spin interactions between adjacent C‑H bond orbitals. This generally favors the antiparallel arrangement of spins, so 3J values are usually positive.
The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Alpha-gamma phase-amplitude coupling (αγPAC) decreases during sequence learning, suggesting this neural mechanism reflects a shift from a default brain state to active information processing for memory encoding.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Brain Oscillations

Background:

  • Cross-frequency coupling facilitates information transfer between neuronal assemblies, underpinning cognitive functions like learning and memory.
  • Previous research indicated reduced alpha-gamma phase-amplitude coupling (αγPAC) during sequence learning, linked to decreased visuo-motor mapping demands.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test the hypothesis that reduced αγPAC during sequence learning reflects decreased visuo-motor mapping demands.
  • To investigate the role of αγPAC in a modified serial reaction time task (SRTT) with a 'simple' condition minimizing visuo-motor mapping.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a standard SRTT with a perceptual sequence and a 'simple' condition with minimal visuo-motor mapping needs.
  • Analyzed oscillatory power and αγPAC in frontal and parietal cortices during sequence learning.
  • Compared αγPAC during SRTT conditions with resting-state data from a separate cohort.

Main Results:

  • Learning a perceptual sequence led to decreased alpha power in occipito-parietal areas.
  • αγPAC decreased in sequence learning trials compared to random trials in right frontal and parietal cortex.
  • Right parietal αγPAC was higher in resting-state compared to sequence learning trials, suggesting a default-mode network involvement.

Conclusions:

  • Findings contradict the hypothesis that reduced αγPAC reflects decreased visuo-motor mapping demands.
  • Decreased αγPAC during sequence learning may indicate a shift from a default brain state.
  • αγPAC in right parietal cortex appears to be perturbed to enable the encoding of visual regularities into memory.
