Insights

This correction clarifies a figure error, replacing an incorrect image of a dendritic shaft with a genuine multi-synapse spine example. The corrected image accurately depicts neuronal structures for better scientific understanding.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cell Biology

Context:

  • The original article contained an erroneous figure (Fig. 7f) intended to illustrate a multi-synapse spine.
  • The depicted structure was misidentified, containing a mitochondrion and microtubules, characteristic of a dendritic shaft segment.

Purpose:

  • To correct a factual error in a published scientific figure.
  • To provide an accurate visual representation of a multi-synapse spine.

Summary:

  • Figure 7f has been corrected to accurately show a multi-synapse spine, replacing a misidentified dendritic shaft segment.
  • The accompanying legend was updated to reflect the accurate count of boutons (two, not three).
  • Both HTML and PDF versions of the article have been amended, with original and corrected figures available in an accompanying Author Correction.

Impact:

  • Ensures the accuracy of published scientific data.
  • Improves the reliability of research on neuronal structure and synaptic plasticity.
  • Provides clear and correct visual aids for researchers and students in neuroscience.

Milgram's Obedience to Authority02:20

Milgram's Obedience to Authority

Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

Nucleosome Remodeling02:54

Nucleosome Remodeling

Nucleosomes are the basic units of chromatin compaction. Each nucleosome consists of the DNA bound tightly around a histone core, which makes the DNA inaccessible to DNA binding proteins such as DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase. Hence, the fundamental problem is to ensure access to DNA when appropriate, despite the compact and protective chromatin structure.

Synaptic Signaling

Neurons communicate at synapses, or junctions, to excite or inhibit the activity of other neurons or target cells, such as muscles. Synapses may be chemical or electrical.

Distance Corrections01:15

Distance Corrections

To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

Power Factor Correction01:20

Power Factor Correction

The power transmission to a factory involves the transfer of apparent power, a combination of active and reactive power. The power factor measures how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output. The ratio of the real power (KW) that does the work to the apparent power (KVA) supplied to the circuit.

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.
