Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.5K
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

16.1K
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...

Drug Distribution: Volume of Distribution01:25

Drug Distribution: Volume of Distribution

7.3K
The volume of distribution refers to the theoretical volume necessary to contain the entire amount of an administered drug at the same concentration observed in the blood plasma. The body's intracellular fluid compartment, which makes up two-thirds of the total body water, is contrasted with the extracellular fluid compartment—comprising plasma and interstitial fluid—that accounts for one-third. The volume of distribution can vary depending on the characteristics of the drug.

F Distribution01:19

F Distribution

9.0K
The F distribution was named after Sir Ronald Fisher, an English statistician. The F statistic is a ratio (a fraction) with two sets of degrees of freedom; one for the numerator and one for the denominator. The F distribution is derived from the Student's t distribution. The values of the F distribution are squares of the corresponding values of the t distribution. One-Way ANOVA expands the t test for comparing more than two groups. The scope of that derivation is beyond the level of this...

Volume of Distribution01:20

Volume of Distribution

1.2K
The apparent volume of distribution (Vd) is a crucial pharmacokinetic parameter representing the hypothetical body fluid volume into which a drug disperses. It is calculated based on the total amount of drug in the body (estimated from the administered dose and bioavailability) divided by the plasma drug concentration. The total amount of drug in the body does not directly refer to the dose given but is derived by accounting for absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion processes.

Uniform Distribution01:19

Uniform Distribution

6.0K
The uniform distribution is a continuous probability distribution of events with an equal probability of occurrence. This distribution is rectangular.
Two essential properties of this distribution are

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Computational Psychiatry

Background:

  • Effortful decision-making relies on integrated cognitive processes like attention and working memory.
  • Dysfunctional mental effort is common in mental disorders, impacting goal-directed behavior.
  • Reliable detection of task engagement is needed for potential therapeutic interventions like neurostimulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a binary decoder for detecting human task engagement in conflict-based behavioral tasks.
  • To create a temporally continuous measure of mental effort using neural data.

Main Methods:

  • Introduced a new network measure, fixed canonical correlation (FCCA), for neural decoding.
  • Extracted FCCA features from local field potential recordings in human volunteers.
  • Utilized a small set of participant-specific features for decoding.

Main Results:

  • Accurately decoded and distinguished task engagement from other mental activities.
  • Differentiated engagement between two distinct conflict tasks within seconds of onset.
  • Demonstrated real-time estimation of mental effort.

Conclusions:

  • Network-level brain activity can reliably detect specific types of mental effort.
  • This detection capability could underpin responsive intervention strategies for decision-making deficits.
  • The developed decoder shows promise for augmenting cognitive function.
