CHAPTER 2 – ANIMAL MODELS 5. Animal models: 5.a. Neurotoxic Models: 5.a.1. 6- Hydroxydopamine model: One of the most frequently used toxin-based animal model is 6-OHDA. It was first isolated in 1950. It is frequently used in rats. It shows affinity for catecholaminergic transporter. For example, norepinephrine transporter and dopamine transporter. Though the structure of 6-OHDA is similar to dopamine but the existence of excess amount of hydroxyl group makes it toxic to dopaminergic neurons.…

Turning eighteen brings not only more responsibility, but more rights as a Missouri resident. Eighteen-year-olds gain many rights that make them not only an active voice in their community, but looked upon as an adult. The one right some eighteen-year-olds believe they are responsible enough for is the right to drink alcohol. According to Richard Bonnie, the author of the article Reducing Underage Drinking : Collective Responsibility, “underage alcohol use is associated with traffic fatalities…

Introduction Epigenetics, “above-genetics” is concerned with the mechanism that underlies developmental processes and canalization that are neither necessarily transmitted nor brought about by changes in the DNA sequence in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. At the cellular level it focuses on the developmental process that leads to cell determination and cell differentiation (Jablonka & Raz, 2009). Narrowly defined, epigenetics refers to the scientific approach concerned with changes in the…

Determinism, Compatibilism, and Libertarianism all have their personal values and reasons though strikingly different to one another we can still see the logic behind each one’s concepts. They are all individual schools which have individual values and implications. All three schools share one similarity, they are nearly impossible to declare as false; How can you prove or disprove those laws which ascribe reason and logic? Determinism brings credibility from several aspects, whether it be the…

can be retrieved from memory thereby setting an agenda in the minds of the readers. This perceived issue salience then, Scheufele (2000) added, influences the role that these considerations play when the audience judges an actor, according to the priming…

Project Summary Hypothesis Statement: The Atypical Protein Kinase C Zeta (PKMz) is the molecular mechanism underlying Long Term Potentiation (LTP) maintenance at the synaptic membrane. Furthermore, this process is regulated at the level of translation of a locally available pool of PKMz mRNA, and can be sustained in part by active PKMz itself, or inhibited via an activity-dependent translation block. Significance: If the effects of a true PKMz conditional knockout result in memory impairments…

David Graeber is an American anthropologist, anarchist and an activist. He is a professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics. To begin with, Graeber uses definitions from the Oxford English Dictionary to define debt. Firstly, debt is defined as a sum of money owed. Secondly, it is the state owing money. Thirdly, it is a feeling of gratitude for a favor or service. Graeber then introduces the book with the following American Proverb: “If you owe the bank a hundred thousand dollars…

I. INTRODUCTION Summary. T cells are one of the several types of lymphocytes that performs several functions in immunity. An example function is immune surveillance, a process in which foreign and diseased host cells are recognized and destroyed by natural killer cells. T cells function in immune surveillance by generating a T-cell response (TCR) which allow them to function in fighting against infection (Swann, J. B. et al, 2007). Recent findings indicate TCR and local non-related factors of…

Technology has been on a rapid expansion for quite some time now, but this technology has started to put the nation lives at an unnecessary risk. So we, as a society, need to decide where to draw a line and create a limit. Texting and driving continues to be a worldwide issue, putting others’ lives in someone else’s hands, a ban on texting reduces distracted driving which is one of the main causes of accidents. While installing a ban will not completely eliminate texting and driving, the…
