Heart cells keep the rhythm
The complement activation product C5a prevents heart cells from contracting , according to Niederbichler and colleagues on page 53. This finding may help explain the cardiac dysfunction commonly seen in patients with septic shock—a disease caused by bacterial infections that is characterized in part by the robust activation of the complement system. A central component of septic shock is decrea...
متن کاملCOGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE Development of auditory-specific brain rhythm in infants
Human infants rapidly develop their auditory perceptual abilities and acquire culture-specific knowledge in speech and music in the second 6 months of life. In the adult brain, neural rhythm around 10 Hz in the temporal lobes is thought to reflect sound analysis and subsequent cognitive processes such as memory and attention. To study when and how such rhythm emerges in infancy, we examined ele...
متن کاملNeuroscience: A Sleep Rhythm with Multiple Facets
Sleep spindles were one of the first rhythms associated with learning and memory consolidation. Current research shows spindles can reflect features of trait and time-varying properties of neuroplasticity. A new study has now used feedback-controlled spindle frequency stimulation to show that sleep spindles modulate endogenous brain electric activity and behavior.
متن کاملNeck pounding during sinus rhythm: a new clinical manifestation of dual atrioventricular nodal pathways.
OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of patients with paroxysmal palpitations and neck pounding during sinus rhythm. METHODS Clinical, electrocardiographic, and electrophysiological characteristics of six patients with paroxysmal palpitations and neck pounding during sinus rhythm were studied in basal conditions and when symptomatic. Response to treatme...
متن کاملIn the darkness of the polar night, scallops keep on a steady rhythm
Although the prevailing paradigm has held that the polar night is a period of biological quiescence, recent studies have detected noticeable activity levels in marine organisms. In this study, we investigated the circadian rhythm of the scallop Chlamys islandica by continuously recording the animal's behaviour over 3 years in the Arctic (Svalbard). Our results showed that a circadian rhythm per...
