Why Is N-Glycolylneuraminic Acid Rare in the Vertebrate Brain?
The sialic acids N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) differ by a single oxygen atom and are widely found at the terminal position of glycans on vertebrate cell surfaces. In animals capable of synthesizing Neu5Gc, most tissues and cell types express both sialic acids, in proportions that vary between species. However, it has long been noted that Neu5Gc is cons...
متن کاملWhy Believe That There Is a God?
This article presents an argument for the existence of God, showing that the evident phenomena are best explained by supposing that a God causes them. The argument is based on the inductive force of four very evident general phenomena: that there is a physical Universe; that it is governed by very simple natural laws; that those laws are such as to lead to the existence of human bodies; and tha...
متن کاملO10: Why Preschool Education Programs Is So Important
Neurological development is largely a result of the learning that takes place starting at birth and during the earliest years of life. Child Care and Preschool Education Programs are key to predicting ultimate success in school and life. Children who attend preschool or other early education programs have enhanced cognitive, verbal, and social development (which is maintained into the first few...
متن کاملEvolution of vertebrate visual pigments
The visual pigments of vertebrates evolved about 500 million years ago, before the major evolutionary step of the development of jaws. Four spectrally distinct classes of cone opsin evolved through gene duplication, followed by the rod opsin class that arose from the duplication of the middle-wave-sensitive cone opsin. All four cone classes are present in many extant teleost fish, reptiles and ...
متن کاملWhy is binocular visual space distorted compared to physical space ?
We propose the independent scalar learning elements summation (ISLES) model, a neural network model for the developmental learning of binocular visual space. When applied to the phenomena of Hering’s horopter and the locus of perceived egocentric equidistance, this model provides a better qualitative explanation than the Luneburg theory. This model provides physical explanations for the di2eren...
