Secondary Active Transport01:55

Secondary Active Transport

137.8K
One example of how cells use the energy contained in electrochemical gradients is demonstrated by glucose transport into cells. The ion vital to this process is sodium (Na+), which is typically present in higher concentrations extracellularly than in the cytosol. Such a concentration difference is due, in part, to the action of an enzyme “pump” embedded in the cellular membrane that actively expels Na+ from a cell. Importantly, as this pump contributes to the high concentration of...

Visual System01:26

Visual System

1.8K
Light enters the eye through the cornea, a transparent, dome-shaped surface covering the surface of the eyeball that helps to direct and focus incoming light. This light is then channeled toward the pupil, an adjustable opening whose size is controlled by the iris. The iris, a pigmented muscle, regulates the amount of light entering the eye by contracting or dilating the pupil, thereby ensuring optimal light levels for clear vision.
Once through the pupil, the light passes through the lens, a...

Co-activators and Co-repressors

Gene transcription is regulated by the synergistic action of several proteins that form a complex at a gene regulatory site. This is observed in eukaryotes, where the regulation of gene expression is a complex process. Regulatory proteins in eukaryotes can broadly be classified into two types – regulators that bind directly to specific DNA sequences and co-regulators that associate with regulatory proteins but cannot directly bind to the DNA. These co-regulators are further divided into...

tRNA Activation02:26

tRNA Activation

22.9K
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are present in both eukaryotes and bacteria. Though eukaryotes have 20 different aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases to couple to 20 amino acids, many bacteria do not have genes for all of these aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Despite this, they still use all 20 amino acids to synthesize their proteins. For instance, some bacteria do not have the gene encoding the enzyme that couples glutamine with its partner tRNA. In these organisms, one enzyme adds glutamic acid to all of the...

Activation Energy01:26

Activation Energy

86.6K
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy necessary for a chemical reaction to move forward. The higher the activation energy, the slower the rate of the reaction. However, adding heat to the reaction will increase the rate, since it causes molecules to move faster and increase the likelihood that molecules will collide. The collision and breaking of bonds represents the uphill phase of a reaction and generates the transition state. The transition state is an unstable high-energy state...

Mean free path and Mean free time

5.1K
Consider the gas molecules in a cylinder. They move in a random motion as they collide with each other and change speed and direction. The average of all the path lengths between collisions is known as the "mean free path."

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This study investigated brain activity during simultaneity judgment (SJ) tasks, a pure measure of temporal processing. Findings reveal that SJ tasks selectively activate bilateral parietal (temporoparietal junction) and frontal (inferior frontal gyrus) cortices.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Neuroimaging

Background:

  • Temporal processing is crucial for everyday event judgments.
  • Simultaneity judgment (SJ) tasks offer a purer measure of temporal processing than temporal order judgment tasks.
  • Previous research suggests right-hemisphere parietal or bilateral temporoparietal junction (TPJ) and inferior frontal gyrus involvement in temporal perception.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the neural correlates of temporal perception using a visual simultaneity judgment (SJ) task.
  • To differentiate brain activation specific to temporal processing from that related to visual feature discrimination.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a neuroimaging experiment employing a visual SJ task.
  • Implemented two orthogonal control conditions: spatial orientation discrimination and color discrimination.
  • Controlled for brain activation associated with the dorsal ('where/how') and ventral ('what') visual pathways.

Main Results:

  • Performing the SJ task selectively activated a bilateral network.
  • Key activated regions included the parietal cortex (temporoparietal junction - TPJ) and frontal cortex (inferior frontal gyrus).
  • Control conditions helped isolate brain activity specific to temporal processing.

Conclusions:

  • Simultaneity judgment tasks selectively engage bilateral parietal (TPJ) and frontal (inferior frontal gyrus) cortices.
  • SJ tasks are a purer measure of temporal perception as they minimize reliance on identity or spatial information processing.
  • This study clarifies the neural network underlying pure temporal perception.
