Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.6K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Network Covalent Solids02:18

Network Covalent Solids

16.2K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

995
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Dynamic Equilibrium02:20

Dynamic Equilibrium

62.9K
A reversible chemical reaction represents a chemical process that proceeds in both forward (left to right) and reverse (right to left) directions. When the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, the concentrations of the reactant and product species remain constant over time and the system is at equilibrium. A special double arrow is used to emphasize the reversible nature of the reaction. The relative concentrations of reactants and products in equilibrium systems vary greatly;...

Depth Perception and Spatial Vision01:15

Depth Perception and Spatial Vision

2.0K
Depth perception is the ability to perceive objects three-dimensionally. It relies on two types of cues: binocular and monocular. Binocular cues depend on the combination of images from both eyes and how the eyes work together. Since the eyes are in slightly different positions, each eye captures a slightly different image. This disparity between images, known as binocular disparity, helps the brain interpret depth. When the brain compares these images, it determines the distance to an object.

Summary

Spatial attention exhibits rhythmic fluctuations, not continuous effects. Neural oscillations in the frontoparietal network, specifically between frontal eye fields (FEF) and lateral intraparietal area (LIP), coordinate these alternating states of heightened and diminished perception.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Systems Neuroscience

Background:

  • Spatial attention was traditionally viewed as continuous.
  • Recent studies show spatial attention causes alternating perceptual sensitivity.
  • The neural mechanisms behind these rhythmic fluctuations are unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the neural basis of rhythmic spatial attention.
  • To identify the brain networks and oscillations involved in attention's dynamic states.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of neural oscillations in macaque frontoparietal network (FEF and LIP).
  • Correlation of theta phase with distinct network states.
  • Examination of beta, gamma, and alpha band activity during attention.

Main Results:

  • Theta phase (3-8 Hz) coordinates alternating network states.
  • FEF-beta and LIP-gamma activity correlate with enhanced attention and performance.
  • LIP-alpha activity correlates with attenuated attention and performance.

Conclusions:

  • Dynamic interplay within the frontoparietal network generates rhythmic spatial attention.
  • Neural oscillations orchestrate alternating periods of enhanced and diminished visual processing.
  • Network interactions explain how environmental sampling is organized into rhythmic cycles.
