Microtubule Associated Proteins (MAPs)

Microtubule Associated Proteins (MAPs)

Microtubule function and architecture are regulated by an array of specialized proteins called microtubule-associated proteins or MAPs. These proteins are widespread across different organisms and have conserved protein motifs, like the multi-TOG domain for tubulin binding found in the CLASP family of MAPs. Some MAPs are lineage-specific based on their conserved domains. Their functions depend upon the cytoskeletal architecture and cell type they are located within. In-plant cells, a specific...

Plotting of Topographic Maps

Plotting of Topographic Maps

Topographic maps represent the Earth's surface features using contour lines, which connect points of equal elevation to create a two-dimensional representation of three-dimensional terrain. Creating a topographic map requires a systematic approach.Begin by plotting a scaled grid and marking intersections corresponding to the survey's elevation data points. Assign elevation values at these intersections to build the base map. Next, determine contour levels using a consistent contour interval,...

Coordinates and Map Projections

Coordinates and Map Projections

Coordinates and map projections are essential tools in accurately representing the Earth's surface for various applications, ranging from navigation to spatial analysis. The latitude and longitude coordinate system is a universally recognized framework for defining locations. Latitude specifies the distance of a point north or south of the equator, measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Longitude indicates a location's position east or west of the prime meridian,...

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

Protein Networks

Protein Networks

An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Human Brain Mapping

Background:

The parietal lobe is crucial for sensorimotor integration and action execution.
Neuroimaging has identified over 40 retinotopic areas across five visual streams, with two entering the parietal lobe.

Purpose of the Study:

To map the functional organization of the parietal lobe, including visual and tactile representations.
To construct a multilayer functional atlas for understanding parietal lobe functions and disorders.

Main Methods:

Analysis of neuroimaging studies to identify retinotopic areas within the parietal lobe.
Utilizing full-body tactile stimulation to map multisensory representations.
Construction of a preliminary multilayer functional atlas.

Main Results:

Identified extensive retinotopic areas along the intraparietal and postcentral sulci, extending to the precuneus.
Revealed a multisensory homunculus posterior to primary somatosensory cortex, overlapping with visual maps.
Established topologically organized maps foundational for peripersonal space actions and navigation.

Conclusions:

The developed atlas specifies locations of unisensory, multisensory, and action representations in the parietal lobe.
Future studies will refine these maps with advanced stimuli and tasks.
The long-term goal is an online atlas for parietal lobe function and disorder research.
