Sympathetic Pathways: Collateral Ganglia and Adrenal Medulla01:27

Sympathetic Pathways: Collateral Ganglia and Adrenal Medulla

3.0K
The sympathetic pathways of the collateral ganglia and adrenal medulla serve unique but interconnected roles in the sympathetic response.
Collateral Ganglia
Sympathetic preganglionic axons reach the collateral ganglia along the route of splanchnic nerves. These nerves bypass the sympathetic trunk and communicate with sympathetic postganglionic neurons housed in the prevertebral ganglia. These ganglia supply the organs of the abdominopelvic cavity.
The greater splanchnic nerve, formed by the...

Coordination Number and Geometry02:57

Coordination Number and Geometry

19.0K
For transition metal complexes, the coordination number determines the geometry around the central metal ion. Table 1 compares coordination numbers to molecular geometry. The most common structures of the complexes in coordination compounds are octahedral, tetrahedral, and square planar.

Coordination Compounds and Nomenclature

26.7K
In most main group element compounds, the valence electrons of the isolated atoms combine to form chemical bonds that satisfy the octet rule. For instance, the four valence electrons of carbon overlap with electrons from four hydrogen atoms to form CH4. The one valence electron leaves sodium and adds to the seven valence electrons of chlorine to form the ionic formula unit NaCl (Figure 1a). Transition metals do not normally bond in this fashion. They primarily form coordinate covalent bonds, a...

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

11.6K
The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

GTPases and their Regulation02:14

GTPases and their Regulation

9.8K
Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins), also known as GTPases, are a superfamily of proteins that regulate many cellular processes, such as cell signaling, vesicular transport, and the regulation of cell shape and motility. Mutation or dysfunction of these proteins can lead to disease. There are around 40,000 known G-proteins that can broadly be classified into two groups ‒  small G-proteins consisting of a single domain and large multi-domain G-proteins.
Large G-proteins,...

Esophageal Perforation-I: Introduction01:22

Esophageal Perforation-I: Introduction

603
Esophageal perforation is a severe medical condition characterized by a breach in the integrity of the esophageal wall. This breach can occur due to various factors such as trauma, medical procedures, or underlying diseases. When the esophageal wall is compromised, it allows food, fluids, and digestive juices into the chest cavity or adjacent structures, leading to potential complications and health risks.
The location of esophageal perforation can vary, occurring anywhere along the esophagus....

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Systems Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Neuroscience

Background:

  • The entorhinal-hippocampal system is vital for spatial learning and memory.
  • Neural interactions underlying spatial coding in this system are not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how entorhinal inputs modulate hippocampal computations for spatial coding.
  • To dissect the role of medial entorhinal cortex inputs in spatial learning and memory.

Main Methods:

  • Integrated multimodal approaches: in vivo calcium imaging, optogenetics, chemogenetics, electrophysiology, immunohistochemistry, and Morris water maze.
  • Utilized dual-light theta-burst stimulation for co-activation of specific neural pathways.

Main Results:

  • CA1-projecting CA3 neurons showed hyperactivity during early spatial learning, decreasing with task performance.
  • Inactivation of medial entorhinal-hippocampal afferents impaired spatial learning and CA3 neural activity.
  • Co-activation of CA3-CA1 and MEC-CA1 pathways induced robust heterosynaptic long-term potentiation in dorsal CA1.

Conclusions:

  • Entorhinal-hippocampal afferents exert multilevel regulatory control over hippocampal function.
  • Medial entorhinal cortex inputs are essential for precise spatial task execution.
  • Findings advance understanding of memory-related neurological pathologies.
