lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs02:39

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

10.0K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Nursing Code of Ethics01:29

Nursing Code of Ethics

4.7K
The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...

Regulated mRNA Transport02:22

Regulated mRNA Transport

7.1K
In eukaryotes, transcription and translation are compartmentalized; an mRNA is first synthesized in the nucleus and then selectively transported to the cytoplasm for protein synthesis. Before transport, a pre-mRNA undergoes several steps of post-transcriptional modifications including splicing, 5' capping, and the addition of a poly-adenine tail. Various proteins bind to the pre-mRNA during these modifications. The mRNA transport takes place with the help of multiple proteins playing...

Catalysis02:50

Catalysis

30.8K
The presence of a catalyst affects the rate of a chemical reaction. A catalyst is a substance that can increase the reaction rate without being consumed during the process. A basic comprehension of a catalysts’ role during chemical reactions can be understood from the concept of reaction mechanisms and energy diagrams.

Classifying Matter by Composition

Matter: Pure Substances and Mixtures
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures. 
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated. 
A mixture is composed of two or...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Systems Neuroscience

Background:

  • Place cells in the hippocampus are crucial for spatial memory and navigation.
  • Computational models often assume entorhinal grid cell input is key for place field formation, but experimental support is mixed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent evidence on hippocampal principal neuron heterogeneity.
  • To explore how this heterogeneity enables encoding of diverse stimuli beyond just location.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent experimental and theoretical studies on hippocampal neurons.
  • Analysis of findings related to neuronal connectivity, genetic expression, and membrane biophysics.

Main Results:

  • Hippocampal pyramidal neurons exhibit significant functional and genetic heterogeneity.
  • Subpopulations of neurons are distinct and respond to varied inputs.
  • Neurons encode features beyond current spatial position.

Conclusions:

  • Neuronal heterogeneity, interacting with biophysics, allows place cells to encode diverse information.
  • Existing computational models need refinement to incorporate this heterogeneity for better understanding of hippocampal function.
