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.

Protein Complex Assembly02:41

Protein Complex Assembly

16.8K
Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types.  Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

Protein Complexes with Interchangeable Parts

Groups of proteins may form a complex where each protein in this complex has a different role in the overall execution of the complex’s function. Often some of the proteins in the complex can be replaced by a closely related variant to give a complex that contains many of the same components yet is functionally distinct.
The SCF ubiquitin ligase is a protein complex of five individual proteins. This complex attaches ubiquitin to other target proteins to mark them for degradation. In order...

Complex Numbers

The real number system cannot represent the square root of a negative number, which restricts solutions for certain equations, such as quadratics with negative discriminants. To address this, the complex number system was developed, introducing the imaginary unit i, where i = √(-1). This extension allows for the representation of all roots, including those involving negative radicands.A complex number is written in the form x + yi, where x and y are real numbers. Here, x represents the...

Formation of Complex Ions

A type of Lewis acid-base chemistry involves the formation of a complex ion (or a coordination complex) comprising a central atom, typically a transition metal cation, surrounded by ions or molecules called ligands. These ligands can be neutral molecules like H2O or NH3, or ions such as CN− or OH−. Often, the ligands act as Lewis bases, donating a pair of electrons to the central atom. These types of Lewis acid-base reactions are examples of a broad subdiscipline called coordination...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Complexity Science
  • Social Neuroscience

Background:

  • EEG mu-desynchronization indexes motor resonance (MR) but doesn't fully explain nonlinear brain dynamics during MR.
  • Understanding nonlinear dynamics is crucial for studying social interaction deficiencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate changes in nonlinear brain dynamics during MR.
  • To test if mu frequency band complexity changes during MR and if this is frequency-specific.
  • To determine if baseline complexity and complexity changes predict MR and network dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Recorded EEG from 45 healthy participants during rest and action observation (watching hands squeeze stress balls).
  • Quantified complexity using multiscale entropy (MSE) in the mu rhythm.
  • Performed graph theory analysis to assess brain network topology changes.

Main Results:

  • Significant mu-desynchronization and increased mu band entropy during action observation; decreased entropy in other bands.
  • Resting-state entropy predicted the degree of mu desynchronization.
  • Observed decreased mu band clustering coefficient and decreased global alpha efficiency; MSE correlated with alpha network efficiency.

Conclusions:

  • Mu wave desynchronization during MR increases local mu entropy, possibly indicating release from alpha inhibition.
  • Baseline mu band MSE may mediate this release from inhibition.
  • Dynamical complexity and network analysis of EEG offer novel insights into MR and nonlinearity.
