It actually triggers mirror neurons in a way that you're able to connect at a heart level," he says.
Consequently, the daily SFR rhythm reflects the intrinsic periodicity of clock gene expression in the SCN, and mutations alter SFR rhythms in individual SCN neurons in a way that reflects the primary pacemaker alteration and behavioral outputs.
Although we do not know the molecular link between actin filaments and TEF, we might speculate that genetic alterations of this transcription factor could disrupt the normal cytoskeletal dynamics of neurons in a way similar to that observed in TEF fibroblasts.
For the brain to detect that a single photon has struck a rod, the eye must transmit information along this chain of neurons in a way that is highly reliable while adding very little noise to the signal.
Critically, results from both classifier and mutual information analyses demonstrate that the full network architecture of the model provides an efficient way of boosting the encoding capacity of neurons in a way that bears remarkable similarities to actual neurons from primate auditory cortex.
It is also possible that rab11-positive recycling endosomes act as a station where Glut3 is sorted to its storage compartment in neurons, in a way similar to the sorting of Glut4 to intracellular Glut4 storage compartments in adipocytes and muscle cells [ 38- 40].
More importantly, these transgenic mice suffer age-dependent neuron loss in a way that is similarly to people with Alzheimer's disease.
Some researchers believe that when we observe another person feeling, say, the prick of a pin, our neurons fire in a way that directly mimics the neurons firing in the person whom the pin actually pricks.
CXCL10 altered the neurons' responses in a way that would reduce the animals' capacity to learn.
We like to think of the brain as a giant computer, wired like a well-defined circuit, with electrical signals zipping along neurons in a predictable way, but our brain's software is complex and sometimes produces surprising results.
