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

4.6K
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,...

Neural Regulation01:37

Neural Regulation

43.5K
Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

Neural Circuits01:25

Neural Circuits

2.8K
Neural circuits and neuronal pools are two of the main structures found in the nervous system. Neural circuits are networks of neurons that work together to carry out a specific task or process. They consist of interconnected neurons and glial cells, which provide structural and metabolic support.
Neuronal pools are collections of nerve cells with similar functions and interact through chemical and electrical signals. These pools include both interneurons (the central neural circuit nodes that...

Neural Control of Respiration01:18

Neural Control of Respiration

4.9K
The neural regulation of respiration is a meticulously coordinated process primarily controlled by the respiratory centers located within the brainstem. These centers, composed of specialized neurons, transmit nerve impulses that control the contraction and relaxation of our respiratory muscles.
Respiratory Centers in the Brainstem
Two primary areas comprise the respiratory center: the medullary respiratory center in the medulla oblongata and the pontine respiratory group in the pons. The...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Animal Behavior
  • Systems Biology

Background:

  • Motor behaviors require stable neural circuits.
  • Neural circuits are composed of proteins, synapses, and connections that undergo continuous change.
  • The mechanisms maintaining motor behavior stability despite neural flux are not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the stability of neural activity underlying a complex motor behavior.
  • To determine if temporally precise neural activity remains consistent over time.
  • To explore the relationship between neural dynamics and behavioral stability.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized high-throughput electrophysiology to record neural activity in songbirds.
  • Analyzed temporal patterns of neural firing during song production.
  • Quantified the stability of neural activity over a period of several weeks.

Main Results:

  • Temporally precise neural activity patterns driving birdsong production were found to be remarkably stable.
  • This stability was maintained for at least several weeks.
  • The findings suggest a robust mechanism for preserving motor control.

Conclusions:

  • Neural activity underlying complex motor behaviors can exhibit long-term stability.
  • This stability is achieved despite ongoing molecular and synaptic turnover.
  • The study provides insights into the neural basis of motor learning and memory.
