Neuron Survival: Say It with Flowers
نویسنده
چکیده
The Flower protein family is part of a cell-cell communication pathway that regulates cell competition, in which fit cells eliminate less fit neighbors. A new study demonstrates that this pathway can also govern the culling of unwanted neurons during development.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy: A Short Review Article
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disorder which affect nervous system and is characterized with progressive distal motor neuron weakness. The survival motor neuron (SMN) protein level reduces in patients with SMA. Two different genes code survival motor neuron protein in human genome. Skeletal and intercostal muscles denervation lead to weakness, hypotony, hyporeflexia, respiratory fa...

متن کاملStudies with a Generalized Neuron Based PSS on a Multi-Machine Power System
An artificial neural network can be used as an intelligent controller to control non-linear, dynamic system through learning. It can easily accommodate non-linearities and time dependencies. Most common multi-layer feed-forward neural networks have the drawbacks of large number of neurons and hidden layers required to deal with complex problems and require large training time. To overcome these...
