Reading the Neural Code: What do Spikes Mean for Behavior?
The present study reveals the existence of an intrinsic spatial code within neuronal spikes that predicts behavior. As rats learnt a T-maze procedural task, simultaneous changes in temporal occurrence of spikes and spike directivity are evidenced in “expert” neurons. While the number of spikes between the tone delivery and the beginning of turn phase reduced with learning, the generated spikes ...
متن کاملWhat do microRNAs mean for rheumatoid arthritis?
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA molecules that modulate the expression of multiple protein-encoding genes at the posttranscription level. They likely participate in nearly every developmental and physiologic process. Although the function of most mammalian miRNAs has yet to be determined, it appears that their aberrant expression may play a role in the pathogenesis of several patholo...
متن کاملWhat do you mean? Arguing for Meaning
Building ontologies has been proven to be a complex issue in part because a community must commit to the conceptualization that the ontology represents. The community members must align their concepts and co-create. Arguing about a useful conceptualization is therefore an essential part of the process of designing an ontology. Logicians have developed formal argumentation theories, but have not...
متن کاملWhat exactly do numbers mean?
Number words are generally used to refer to the exact cardinal value of a set, but cognitive scientists disagree about their meanings. Although most psychological analyses presuppose that numbers have exact semantics (two means EXACTLY TWO), many linguistic accounts propose that numbers have lower-bounded semantics (AT LEAST TWO), and that speakers restrict their reference through a pragmatic i...
متن کاملWhat do you mean, "epigenetic"?
Interest in the field of epigenetics has increased rapidly over the last decade, with the term becoming more identifiable in biomedical research, scientific fields outside of the molecular sciences, such as ecology and physiology, and even mainstream culture. It has become increasingly clear, however, that different investigators ascribe different definitions to the term. Some employ epigenetic...
