POLYCHRONIZAT ION There has been recent experimental evidence that neurons can transmit information through precisely timed spike patterns. Patterns can be found in the precise spike timings of a group of neurons, which form a functional neuron group. Polychronization [20] can be defined as the ability to produce ‘time-locked’ but not synchronous firing patterns with milli-second precision. A network consisting of a group of neurons recurrently connected, with axonal delays and a synaptic…

Hail to the Chief! Squamish Day Hike The Stawamus Chief is an iconic landmark. It dominates the Squamish skyline and attracts tourists, hikers and climbers from around the world. This magnificent granite wall beckons all to approach and climb her. The Chief can be an extremely busy hiking trail. Outdoor enthusiasts regularly flock to the area to test their fitness levels and savour the magnificent views from each of the three peaks. On a clear day, the summit offers panoramic glimpses of…

In the movie Inside Out, the main concept that is portrayed is how memory works. Certain specific topics that relate to memory that are in the movie include REM sleep, long term memory, dream theories, flashbulb memories and interference, to name a few. The way that some of these topics are portrayed in the movie are correct, and actually give an accurate, but comedic interpretation of how the memory works. Although the movie has some moments where concepts that involve memory are not…

and safe. The fifth and final part is the parts of the trail, how long they are and description of each part. The fifth part of the explanation is in a table but besides that it is all just text. This explanation is informative about what the trail is like, but there isn’t any history.…

Attention and Memory Many children are more captivated to watch television shows because they are fascinated with the various cartoon characters. One of the top popular educational shows, where children starting from birth to age five are watching is Super Why!. Super Why!, is a twenty-six minute children’s show that consists of five adorable characters known as Whyatt, the Little Red Riding Hood, Pig, Princess Pia and Woofster. Whyatt is the leader who takes responsibility in vocabulary and…

The Reminiscence Bump: Literature Review The reminiscence bump is the increased tendency for older adults to have an increased recollection of events that happened during adolescence and early adulthood. It was identified through the study of autobiographical memory and the subsequent plotting of the age of encoding of memories to form the lifespan retrieval curve. This literature review attempts to focus on both the methodology that has been used to study autobiographical memory and the…

There are three types of memory: sensory memory, short-term memory and long-term memory and all of them have a different role. Mastin (2010b) summarised that the sensory memory is the shortest term stores sensory information which received through the five senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch but only for an instant…

that can be expressed and retained in memory. The second process is storage and is how information is retained so that it can be used at a later time. These two processes take part in converting information from the short-term memory (STM) into the long-term memory (LTM). Both of these are aided by rehearsal which is whereby something is consciously done to retain information in memory. The third is retrieval which is the process of locating and recovering information from the LTM to the STM so…

these two types of memory are the "retention"(p.311) period necessary to the situation. Working memory is a temporary retention, meaning that that information is only stored long enough to complete a task before being soon discarded. However, pieces of information can be moved from working to reference memory, also known as long-term memory. Reference memory uses background information to succesfully use incoming and recently acquired information. "All successful uses of working memory require…

repolarization, which prevent the occurrence of the conditions (eg, re-entrant circuits or early afterdepolarizations) that are responsible for the development of TdP. Such stability of the repolarization is based on a large electrophysiological reserve. As long as identified risk factors for TdP reduce this reserve, they make it more likely that a further added stress (eg, IKr blocking drug or a subtle genetic defect) is sufficient to precipitate a TdP in individual patients (Roden, 1998). In…
