lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Nursing Code of Ethics

Nursing Code of Ethics

The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...

Location and Orientation of the Heart

Location and Orientation of the Heart

The human heart, despite its modest size and weight, is an organ of remarkable strength and endurance. Roughly the size of a fist, the heart weighs between 250 and 350 grams and is nestled within the mediastinum, the medial cavity of the thorax. It extends obliquely for about 12 to 14 cm, resting on the superior surface of the diaphragm. The heart is positioned anterior to the vertebral column and posterior to the sternum, with two-thirds of its mass lying to the left of the midsternal line.

Second-Order Circuits

Second-Order Circuits

Integrating two fundamental energy storage elements in electrical circuits results in second-order circuits, encompassing RLC circuits and circuits with dual capacitors or inductors (RC and RL circuits). Second-order circuits are identified by second-order differential equations that link input and output signals.
Input signals typically originate from voltage or current sources, with the output often representing voltage across the capacitor and/or current through the inductor. For example, in...

Background:

Sensory systems require efficient processing of information.
Neurons must reduce redundant data transmission for optimal function.
Dynamic adjustment of neuronal sensitivity is a key strategy.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the implementation of dynamic predictive coding in retinal ganglion cells.
To understand how the visual system analyzes spatial patterns by reducing redundancy.
To elucidate the role of synaptic inputs and outputs in this process.

Main Methods:

In vivo imaging of excitatory synaptic inputs and outputs in retinal ganglion cells.
Analysis of synaptic tuning and inhibitory mechanisms.
Investigating the role of presynaptic inhibition and feedforward inhibition.

Main Results:

Bipolar cell synapses exhibit orientation tuning via presynaptic inhibition, creating lateral antagonism.
Individual ganglion cells receive excitatory inputs tuned to diverse orientations.
Feedforward inhibition acts as a high-pass filter, transmitting only initial input activation and reducing redundancy.

Conclusions:

Retinal ganglion cells utilize a dynamic predictive coding strategy for spatial pattern analysis.
Circuit motifs involving synaptic tuning and inhibition are crucial for efficient sensory processing.
These mechanisms are potentially applicable to other brain regions.
