Grow-your-own synapses
cientists have discovered a new function for amyloid precursor protein (APP), a protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease. The finding may reveal how APP gets mixed up with the enzymes that make it go bad. APP has an evil reputation. The and secretases transform it into amyloidpeptide, a component of the plaques that riddle the brain in Alzheimer’s disease. Previous work by Larry Goldstein (Univesi...
متن کاملHow does your cortex grow?
Understanding human cortical maturation is a central goal for developmental neuroscience. Significant advances toward this goal have come from two recent strands of in vivo structural magnetic resonance imaging research: (1) longitudinal study designs have revealed that factors such as sex, cognitive ability, and disease are often better related to variations in the tempo of anatomical change t...
متن کاملWhy let people die?
This paper concerns those patients whose brain is irreversibly damaged to the point where they will never recover significant mental life. I examine the reasons which justify the decision to withhold or discontinue active medical intervention in these patients. They involve the identity, quality of life and agency of those beings whom we value as persons.
متن کاملPreparing for Your Future as You Grow
Commissural axons cross the nervous system midline and connect to targets in the contralateral hemisphere. In this issue of Neuron, Michalski et al. (2013) demonstrate that synapses formed by ipsilaterally misrouted commissural axons exhibit defects in synapse maturation. Thus, midline crossing primes axons for subsequent synaptogenesis.
متن کاملHow Does Your Case-Base Grow?
1 Introduction Case-based reasoning (CBR) systems solve problems by reusing the solutions to similar problems stored as cases in a case base [1]. Recent research has looked at the competence of case-bases and, in particular, ways of measuring and predicting this competence. To date, a number of effective competence models have been proposed [3,6,8]. This paper investigates the evolution of comp...
