Intrinsically Disordered Proteins02:18

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

19.3K
Intrinsically disordered proteins are a group of proteins that do not fold into specific three-dimensional structures. Their structural flexibility allows them to complement ordered proteins to perform functions that are inaccessible to rigid structures. They are more common in eukaryotes than prokaryotes and may either be exclusively intrinsically disordered or hybrid proteins, consisting of a mix of ordered and disordered regions. The absence of a rigid structure in these proteins can be...

Uncertainty in Measurement: Reading Instruments

51.1K
Counting is the type of measurement that is free from uncertainty, provided the number of objects being counted does not change during the process. Such measurements result in exact numbers. By counting the eggs in a carton, for instance, one can determine exactly how many eggs are there in the carton. Similarly, the numbers of defined quantities are also exact. For example, 1 foot is exactly 12 inches, 1 inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, and 1 gram is exactly 0.001 kilograms. Quantities...

The Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway01:31

The Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway

8.4K
Internal cellular stress, such as cellular injury or hypoxia, triggers intrinsic apoptosis. The B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family of proteins are the primary regulators of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. For example, during DNA damage, checkpoint proteins, such as Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM protein) and Checkpoints Factor-2 (Chk2) proteins, are activated. These proteins phosphorylate p53 which further activates pro-apoptotic proteins, such as Bax, Bak, PUMA, and Noxa, and inhibits...

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis

12.5K
Blood clotting or coagulation involves extrinsic and intrinsic pathways, which ultimately merge into the common pathway, forming a fibrin clot.
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which...

Simplified Synchronous Machine Model01:30

Simplified Synchronous Machine Model

761
The Synchronous Machine Model is a fundamental tool in analyzing and ensuring the transient stability of power systems. This model simplifies the representation of a synchronous machine under balanced three-phase positive-sequence conditions, assuming constant excitation and ignoring losses and saturation. The model is pivotal for understanding the behavior of synchronous generators connected to a power grid, particularly during transient events.
In this model, each generator is connected to a...

Area of Science:

  • Computational neuroscience
  • Neural network dynamics
  • Systems neuroscience

Background:

  • Neuromodulation's precise role in neural networks, like cortical microcolumns, remains unclear.
  • Neuromodulation impacts neural processing via synaptic efficacy and intrinsic neuronal excitability.
  • Understanding neuromodulation is key to deciphering neural computation flexibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how neuromodulation affects neural network activity and information processing.
  • To explore the interplay between synaptic efficacy, network topology, and neuronal intrinsic properties.
  • To determine if neuromodulation enables shifts between different network operating modes.

Main Methods:

  • Simulated synaptic efficacy modulation to alter network density and topology.
  • Analyzed the impact of network alterations on spike synchronization.
  • Utilized neuron models with varied intrinsic excitability parameters.

Main Results:

  • Fast synaptic efficacy modulation significantly influences correlated spiking within the network.
  • Network synchronization levels affect the readout of intrinsic neuronal properties.
  • Synchronous inputs can override intrinsic neuronal differences, while asynchronous inputs emphasize them.

Conclusions:

  • Neuromodulation enables neural networks to transition between synchronized transmission and asynchronous intrinsic readout modes.
  • This flexibility in network operation has profound implications for understanding cortical computation.
  • Altering network topology can shift the balance between intrinsically and synaptically driven activity.
