SYNAPSE. SYNAPSE LTP (long-term potentiation). Mechanism of LTP (long-term potentiation), which plays a role in learning. Stage 1 (See images no. 11969 05 and 11970 05 for stages 2 and 3). In response to a stimulus (sight, taste, touch, etc.), an electrical signal is produced which triggers the release of massive quantities of glutamate (purple triangles) by the presynaptic element. This in turn triggers a massive release of calcium (red spheres) in the dendrite (postsynaptic element), se

Representation of the transmission of the pain at the level of the spinal cord. The presynaptic neuron releases the neurotransmitters of the pain via synaptic vesicles. These neurotransmitters are released in the synaptic cleft and fixes on the receptors of the synapse of the postsynaptic neuron. The nerve impulse is then created and the information of the pain is transported to the brain. The neuron on the right is the neuron of the inhibition of the pain located at the level of the spinal cord

GENETICS RESEARCH. GENETICS RESEARCH Photo essay. Genetics research laboratory. Gene therapy requires a gene-drug and a vector to carry it to the target cell. The study of these vectors (vectorology) has demonstrated that viruses can be useful. The pathogenic capacity of the virus is replaced by the gene-drug which is carried to the target cell by natural viral infection. Researchers are developing vectors belonging to several viral families (adenovirus, retrovirus, parvovirus, herpes viru

ALZHEIMER´S DISEASE, DRAWING. ALZHEIMER´S DISEASE, DRAWING Alzheimer’s disease is the cause of three-fourths of all cases of dementia in subjects over 65 years of age. Dementia results from a reduction in the number of nerve cells and brain atrophy. A reduction in brain volume, particularly the gray matter which is rich in nerve cells, is a characteristic feature of Alzheimer’s disease.

NEURON. NEURON A neuron is a nerve cell composed of a spherical body with a nucleus, an axon and cylindrical fiber-like extensions with irregular contours called dendrites. Neurons send and receive sensorial and motor messages. Incoming message arrive via the dendrite and reach the cell body where the information is analyzed and sent out again via the axon. The point of junction between the dendrites of one neuron and the axon of another neuron is called a nerve synapse. Different chemical su

SYNAPSE. SYNAPSE Mechanism of LTP (long-term potentiation), after a week. Mechanism of LTP (long-term potentiation), one week later. Stage 2 (See images 11968 05 and 11970 05 for stages 1 and 3). The synapse is stimulated once again, but this time, as explained in stage 1, its efficacy is enhanced. This increased sensitivity enables the nerve impulse to travel more easily from one neuron to another. This is the learning process.

Illustration of the path of sound in the ear. The sound wave captured by the ear's auricle penetrates into the auditory canal, vibrates the tympanic membrane which in turn vibrates the ossicles (hammer, anvil, stirrup). The stirrup's vibrations cause movement in the oval window's membrane which produce hydraulic waves in the cochlea's perilymph, putting pressure on the endolymph within the cochlear duct, displacing the basilar membrane, pushing the stereocilia against the tectorial membrane and
