Despite these successes, electrophysiology samples sparsely from neural populations and provides little information about the genetic identity and spatial micro-organization of recorded neurons.
These latter experiments, nonetheless, provide further support that the micro-organization of a culture can regulate the activation of an endogenous signaling pathway since the number of cells in the well and local cell density in each pattern type was approximately the same.
With diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), the micro-structural organization of white matter (WM) can be visualized.
We place a spotlight on the emerging trend of jointly studying the micro- and macroscale organization of nervous systems.
This is different from what has been observed in R. sphaeroides, where TSPO is considered to be an oxygen sensor [9], and is not surprising considering P. fluorescens is not a photosynthetic bacterium and that the metabolism, structural, and even genomic organization of the two micro-organisms have very few common points.
PLB and MBS were responsible for design of the project, standardisation & organization of meristem micro-dissection & making EST libraries as well as overall coordination of the experiments and manuscript editing.
Since cholesterol plays an essential role controlling both plasma membrane fluidity and the organization of specialized micro-domains (lipid rafts), it is important to understand its role during myogenesis.
We previously found that BLSOM efficiently detected species-specific codon-choice patterns of micro-organisms, resulting in self-organization of genes according to microbial species.
The compact organization of the genome of many micro-organisms suggests that links between genome size and fitness exist [21], as has also been suggested for WSSV [8], [19].
It is therefore possible that the identification of NE-specific vesicles reflects the existence of micro-domain organization within the seemingly homogeneous mitotic ER.
Even in the latter restricted use, this term can be used to describe the organization of inputs at micro-level (i.e. at an individual local facility), at meso-level (e.g. a general hospital in a small catchment area) or at macro-level (e.g. a health maintenance organization working at regional or national level or a public health preventive programme).
