Long-term Potentiation01:35

Long-term Potentiation

57.8K
Long-term potentiation, or LTP, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTP is the process of synaptic strengthening that occurs over time between pre- and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic strengthening of LTP works in opposition to the synaptic weakening of long-term depression (LTD) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Replication in Eukaryotes

16.7K
In eukaryotic cells, DNA replication is highly conserved and tightly regulated. Multiple linear chromosomes must be duplicated with high fidelity before cell division, so there are many proteins that fulfill specialized roles in the replication process. Replication occurs in three phases: initiation, elongation, and termination, and ends with two complete sets of chromosomes in the nucleus.

Interference and Decay

354
Forgetting is a complex cognitive phenomenon influenced by several factors, among which interference and decay are particularly prominent. These processes explain why individuals often struggle to retrieve specific information from memory, leading to lapses in recall that can be observed in everyday situations.
Interference occurs when competing memories hinder the retrieval of particular information. It can be classified into two types: proactive and retroactive interference. Proactive...

Restarting Stalled Replication Forks

6.2K
DNA replication is initiated at sites containing predefined DNA sequences known as origins of replication. DNA is unwound at these sites by the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase and other factors such as Cdc45 and the associated GINS complex.The unwound single strands are protected by replication protein A (RPA) until DNA polymerase starts synthesizing DNA at the 5’ end of the strand in the same direction as the replication fork. To prevent the replication fork from falling apart,...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Motor Control
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Studies on tool use demonstrate interaction between visual/haptic perception and action execution, aligning with event coding theory.
  • Sensorimotor transformations are crucial for tool use, involving integration of sensory feedback with motor commands.
  • Understanding the temporal dynamics of after-effects in perception-action loops is key to refining models of motor learning and adaptation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the temporal persistence of after-effects within and between temporally overlapping event files using the n-1 replication task.
  • To examine how variations in visual-haptic feedback influence the emergence and characteristics of motor after-effects.
  • To clarify the role of perception-action interaction in sensorimotor adaptation and the temporal stability of event files.

Main Methods:

  • Two experiments were conducted involving participants moving a cursor on a tablet, with manipulated gain between hand and cursor amplitude.
  • The n-1 replication task was employed, where participants replicated previous hand amplitudes without visual feedback to reveal after-effects (over/undershoots).
  • After-effects were analyzed for contrast and assimilation effects under conditions of constant versus varying hand and cursor amplitudes.

Main Results:

  • Varying cursor amplitude with constant hand amplitude led to internal model adjustment, not after-effects.
  • Varying hand amplitudes resulted in after-effects, manifesting as contrast effects between event files and assimilation effects within an event file.
  • The observed over- and undershoots confirmed assimilation/contrast effects stemming from perception-action interaction, with assimilation effects persisting up to 20 seconds.

Conclusions:

  • After-effects in the n-1 replication task are contingent on varying hand amplitudes, highlighting the role of dynamic feedback in sensorimotor adaptation.
  • Perception-action interaction significantly influences motor control, leading to assimilation and contrast effects that demonstrate the temporal binding within event files.
  • The findings extend understanding of short-term binding stability in sensorimotor transformations, particularly the persistence of assimilation effects in motor tasks.
