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...

The Nucleus01:32

The Nucleus

105.1K
The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that acts as a control center in a eukaryotic cell. It contains chromosomal DNA, which controls gene expression and precisely regulates the production of proteins within the cell. In contrast, the DNA inside the mitochondria and chloroplast only carries out functions that are specific to those organelles.
Arrangement of DNA within Nucleus
The regulation of gene expression inside the nucleus is dependent on many factors, including the DNA structure. The...

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,...

Frequency-dependent Selection01:21

Frequency-dependent Selection

24.2K
When the fitness of a trait is influenced by how common it is (i.e., its frequency) relative to different traits within a population, this is referred to as frequency-dependent selection. Frequency-dependent selection may occur between species or within a single species. This type of selection can either be positive—with more common phenotypes having higher fitness—or negative, with rarer phenotypes conferring increased fitness.

Summary

Auditory neurons in the brainstem use two distinct methods to encode frequency modulation (FM): temporal fine structure (TFS) and temporal envelope (ENV) cues. This dual-coding mechanism, observed in guinea pig cochlear nucleus, supports robust sound recognition.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Auditory System Research
  • Acoustic Signal Processing

Background:

  • Frequency modulation (FM) is crucial for recognizing natural sounds, including speech.
  • Auditory neurons exhibit synchronized firing patterns potentially encoding low-rate FM.
  • The exact neural mechanisms for FM encoding (temporal envelope vs. temporal fine structure) remain unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how auditory neurons in the ventral cochlear nucleus encode frequency modulation (FM).
  • To determine if FM representation relies on temporal envelope (ENV) or temporal fine structure (TFS) cues.
  • To explore the diversity of neural responses and their implications for a dual-coding scheme.

Main Methods:

  • Recorded single-unit responses from guinea pig ventral cochlear nucleus.
  • Presented sine FM tones centered at the unit's best frequency (BF).
  • Analyzed neural discharge patterns in relation to modulation depth and receptive field properties.

Main Results:

  • Low-BF units (<4 kHz) showed phase locking to TFS within their receptive field.
  • Beyond receptive fields, responses followed ENV cues and modulated at the stimulus rate.
  • Unit types exhibited specialized coding: TFS by low-frequency/primary-like units, ENV by chopper/onset units.

Conclusions:

  • Ventral cochlear nucleus neurons display diverse responses, supporting a dual-coding scheme for FM.
  • This dual-coding involves both temporal fine structure (TFS) and temporal envelope (ENV) cues.
  • Findings provide physiological evidence for a proposed dual-coding mechanism in the auditory pathway.
