Life or death: developing cortical interneurons make their own decision.
During nervous system development, programmed cell death is considered as an essential adaptive process. The mechanism by which the number of mature neurons is determined in the central nervous system is not well understood. In a recent Nature paper, Southwell et al (2012) demonstrate that cortical GABAergic interneuron cell death is intrinsically determined without the need to compete for extr...
متن کاملNeurons Tune Their Own Excitability When They Make A Decision
The brain is usually considered to be an extraordinarily complex object while a neuron is believed an ideal logical element. This idealization does not correspond to the real neural system properties. Experimental data give trustworthy evidence that a neuron is a microcosm of the brain. The firing threshold seems to be a dynamic property of an excitable membrane. Neurons appear to evaluate the ...

متن کاملApoptosis and disease: a life or death decision.
Introduction Apoptosis is an evolutionarily conserved form of cell death that was first described by Kerr and colleagues in 1972 (Kerr et al, 1972). It is essential for successful embryonic development and maintains normal cellular homeostasis in adult organisms. Gainand loss-offunction models of genes in the core apoptotic pathway suggest that perturbation of cellular homeostasis can be a prim...

Only a small minority of women who are protected by contraceptive sterilization express regret about that method choice, regardless of whether they or their husbands have had the surgery, according to findings from a prospective, multicenter study.1 Within five years after their husbands’ vasectomy, 6% of women indicated that it was not a good choice; essentially the same proportion of steriliz...
