On an Integral Function of an Integral Function
six-cusped sextic, whose cusps lie on a conic, and many properties of this projected curve similar to those of the plane quartic can be at once obtained from the above general theorems. It remains to be added that the nature of the harmouic envelope T6, and the configuration of its contact-quadrics U^ in relation to the 86 double-sixes of the cubic surface by which T6 is defined, require furthe...
متن کاملSynaptopathies: Dysfunction of Synaptic Function 539 Alzheimer’s disease and amyloid β-peptide deposition in the brain: a matter of ‘aging’?
Biomolecules can experience aging processes that limit their long-term functionality in organisms. Typical markers of protein aging are spontaneous chemical modifications, such as AAR (amino acid racemization) and AAI (amino acid isomerization), mainly involving aspartate and asparagine residues. Since these modifications may affect folding and turnover, they reduce protein functionality over t...
متن کاملNitric oxide: a novel link between synaptic and nonsynaptic transmission.
Accumulating evidence indicates that nitric oxide (NO) inhibits the function of monoamine transporters. Because the production of NO by neuronal NO synthase (nNOS) is closely related to the activation of NMDA receptors, the level of NO around nNOS-containing synapses reflects the activity of glutamate-mediated neurotransmission. Glutamate participates mainly in synaptic interactions, but with t...
متن کاملAma“Zinc” Link between TrkB Transactivation and Synaptic Plasticity
While Trk receptors can be activated in a neurotrophin-independent manner through "transactivation" by GPCR ligands, its physiological significance in the brain remains unknown. Huang et al. have now identified a novel mechanism of TrkB transactivation. They show that zinc ions can transactivate TrkB independent of neurotrophins and that such a transactivation is important for mossy fiber long-...
متن کاملEmerging Link between Alzheimer's Disease and Homeostatic Synaptic Plasticity
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible brain disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline and neurodegeneration of brain regions that are crucial for learning and memory. Although intracellular neurofibrillary tangles and extracellular senile plaques, composed of insoluble amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides, have been the hallmarks of postmortem AD brains, memory impairment in early AD cor...
