Coordination Compounds and Nomenclature02:54

Coordination Compounds and Nomenclature

26.9K
In most main group element compounds, the valence electrons of the isolated atoms combine to form chemical bonds that satisfy the octet rule. For instance, the four valence electrons of carbon overlap with electrons from four hydrogen atoms to form CH4. The one valence electron leaves sodium and adds to the seven valence electrons of chlorine to form the ionic formula unit NaCl (Figure 1a). Transition metals do not normally bond in this fashion. They primarily form coordinate covalent bonds, a...

Coordination Number and Geometry02:57

Coordination Number and Geometry

19.1K
For transition metal complexes, the coordination number determines the geometry around the central metal ion. Table 1 compares coordination numbers to molecular geometry. The most common structures of the complexes in coordination compounds are octahedral, tetrahedral, and square planar.

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

12.2K
The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

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,...

Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

6.1K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Summary

The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) may not be crucial for eye-hand coordination. New research suggests neither the lateral intraparietal area (LIP) nor the parietal reach region (PRR) cells code for the initial eye movement target during bimanual reaching tasks.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Motor Control
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Eye and arm movements exhibit spatial and temporal correlations, potentially involving the posterior parietal cortex (PPC).
  • The lateral intraparietal area (LIP) and parietal reach region (PRR) are known to represent saccade and reach goals, respectively.
  • Studying neural circuits of eye-hand coordination is challenging due to stereotyped movement patterns in unimanual tasks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of the PPC in eye-hand coordination.
  • To explore how neural activity in LIP and PRR relates to bimanual reaching and gaze shifts.
  • To elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying the coordination of limb and gaze movements.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a bimanual reaching task where animals reached to two distinct targets.
  • Observed natural variations in saccade sequences (first to one target, then the other) across trials.
  • Recorded neural activity in LIP and PRR during these bimanual reaching tasks.

Main Results:

  • Neither LIP nor PRR neurons encoded which target the eyes would initially move towards.
  • Observed diverse patterns of limb-gaze coordination depending on the trial's saccade sequence.
  • Found that PPC neurons did not consistently predict the initial gaze shift direction.

Conclusions:

  • The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) may play a limited, permissive role in certain aspects of eye-hand coordination.
  • The precise role of the lateral intraparietal area (LIP) in saccade generation remains uncertain based on these findings.
  • Bimanual tasks reveal complex coordination patterns that challenge existing models of parietal cortex function in sensorimotor control.
