Excitement Keeps Your Brain Cells Alive
of NMDARs. Thus, blocking NMDAR activity by different means increases apoptosis of migrating neuroblasts that results, over time, in a cumulative decrease of OB granule cell neurogenesis (65% at 8 weeks post-electroporation). Importantly, the migration of the electroporated neuroblasts was not influenced by genetic removal of NMDARs indicating that apoptosis alone contributes to defective neuro...
متن کاملRecharging Probably Keeps Batteries Alive
The kinetic battery model is a popular model of the dynamic behavior of a conventional battery, useful to predict or optimize the time until battery depletion. The model however lacks certain obvious aspects of batteries in-the-wild, especially with respect to (i) the effects of random influences and (ii) the behavior when charging up to capacity bounds. This paper considers the kinetic battery...
متن کاملLearning and Memory: While You Rest, Your Brain Keeps Working
A recent study shows that brain activity recorded while the human subject is at 'rest' is significantly affected by a prior learning episode. These results suggest that understanding resting brain activity may be critical to understanding how humans learn from experience.
متن کاملThe Adult Brain Makes New Neurons, and Effortful Learning Keeps Them Alive
The brain continues to produce new neurons throughout life. For instance, the hippocampus (a brain region necessary for select learning processes) produces thousands of new neurons each day. However, a significant number of them die and do so within just a few weeks of their birth. Laboratory animals that are trained to learn a new skill between one and two weeks after the new cells are generat...
متن کاملIs it Money or Marriage that Keeps People Alive ?
It is believed that the length of a person’s life depends on a mixture of economic and social factors. Yet the relative importance of these is still debated. We provide evidence in this paper that marriage has a much more important (positive) effect on longevity than high income does. For men, it almost exactly offsets the large negative effect of smoking. Economics, however, plays little or no...
