Signal Sequences and Sorting Receptors01:41

Signal Sequences and Sorting Receptors

10.5K
Signal sequences are short amino acid sequences that guide newly synthesized proteins to their proper location within the cell. Classical signal sequences are fifteen to sixty amino acids long and present at the N-terminus of a polypeptide chain. Each signal sequence has a conserved segment of basic residues towards their N terminus, a hydrophobic core, and a C-terminus rich in polar residues. The C-terminus also contains a signal cleavage site and features a -3 -1 sequence motif. The -3-1...

Per-Unit Sequence Models

147
An ideal Y-Y transformer, grounded through neutral impedances, displays per-unit sequence networks akin to those of a single-phase ideal transformer when subjected to balanced positive- or negative-sequence currents. These currents do not produce neutral currents, and their associated voltage drops.
Zero-sequence currents, which are identical in magnitude and phase, generate a neutral current, resulting in voltage drops across the neutral impedance and the low-voltage winding. If the...

Parallel Processing01:20

Parallel Processing

357
The brain processes sensory information rapidly due to parallel processing, which involves sending data across multiple neural pathways at the same time. This method allows the brain to manage various sensory qualities, such as shapes, colors, movements, and locations, all concurrently. For instance, when observing a forest landscape, the brain simultaneously processes the movement of leaves, the shapes of trees, the depth between them, and the various shades of green. This enables a quick and...

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing01:05

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

11.7K
In the same year as the discovery of the Sanger sequencing method, another group of scientists, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert, demonstrated their chemical-cleavage method for DNA sequencing. The Maxam-Gilbert method relies on using different chemicals that can cleave the DNA sequence at specific sites, the separation of resulting DNA fragments of variable size using electrophoresis, and deciphering the DNA sequence from the resulting gel bands.

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines

173
A Y-connected synchronous generator, grounded through a neutral impedance, is designed to produce balanced internal phase voltages with only positive-sequence components. The generator's sequence networks include a source voltage that is exclusively in the positive-sequence network. The sequence components of line-to-ground voltages at the generator terminals illustrate this configuration.
Zero-sequence current induces a voltage drop across the generator's neutral impedance and other...

Cerebrum: Anatomical Overview II

2.9K
Each cerebral hemisphere can be divided into three main regions. The outermost region, the cerebral cortex, is a thin layer (2 to 4 millimeters thick) made up of gray matter, consisting of neuron cell bodies, dendrites, glial cells, and blood vessels. The middle region, or white matter, is primarily composed of myelinated nerve fibers organized into three types of large tracts: association fibers, commissures, and projection fibers. Association fibers connect different areas within the same...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Cognitive Neuroscience

Background:

  • Abstract pattern detection in temporal sequences is fundamental to human cognition, particularly for language and mathematics.
  • The neural basis and conditions for encoding abstract, amodal representations of sequential patterns remain poorly understood.
  • It is unclear if mere repeated exposure to sensory sequences is sufficient for abstract pattern encoding.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the existence and brain localization of abstract codes for sequential patterns.
  • To examine the relationship between these abstract codes and established language and math-responsive brain networks.
  • To determine if sensory modality or cueing affects the neural representation of abstract sequence patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with a passive sequence violation paradigm.
  • Presented participants with repeated binary patterns (AABB, ABAB) followed by rare deviant sequences.
  • Varied presentation formats: visual/auditory stimuli and identity/spatial location cues.

Main Results:

  • Habituation to repeated patterns and responses to violations were observed in inferior frontal, intraparietal, and temporal areas.
  • Pattern-violation responses within language networks were localized to the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG).
  • All math-responsive regions showed responses to pattern changes, with many areas reacting to modality or cue shifts, indicating general violation detection sensitivity.

Conclusions:

  • The neural representation of sequential patterns is distributed across multiple brain regions.
  • A core set of abstract, amodal regions, notably the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), are involved in processing these patterns.
  • Findings suggest the IFG plays a significant role in abstract sequence representation, linking to language processing networks.
