Chapter 2 Integrin Structure and Function Manakan Betsy Srichai and Roy Zent Abstract Integrins are a large family of heterodimeric glycoprotein receptors first discovered over twenty years ago. They exist as two noncovalently bound a- and b- subunits that function as adhesion molecules and play key roles in many biological processes including actin cytoskeleton organization and transduction of intracellular signals regulating cellular functions. Integrins bind a variety of extracellular matrices

The Brain and Cognitive Functions Centuries of philosophy and science have been dedicated to unraveling the mystery behind how cognition occurs‚ how it maps to areas of the brain‚ and to what degree cognition is dependant upon these various areas in which cognitive activities are located. Modern neuroscience has helped tremendously to provide some answers as have tests on brain trama patients such as Phineas Gage which revealed startling changes in individual behavior that can be linked to damage

SPA Lab 4: CONTRAST SENSITIVITY FUNCTION Ciara Dubose University of Central Oklahoma Abstract The purpose for this experiment is to determine at which spatial frequency does a participant’s visual acuity for a contrast sensitivity function display a peak performance across different sine – wave gratings. The ability to contrast sensitivity is useful in everyday life‚ more than people imagine. These contrast sensitivity functions focus primarily on the participants’ ability to detect accurately

Boolean Functions - Computer Organization (IT 25) BOOLEAN FUNCTIONS A Boolean function consists of a binary variable denoting the function‚ an equals sign and an algebraic expressions formed by using binary variables the constants 0 and 1‚ the logic operation symbols‚ and parentheses. For a given value of the binary variables‚ Boolean function can be equal to either 1 or 0. Example: F = X + Y’Z The two parts of the expression X and Y’Z‚ are called terms of the function F. The function F is

Localization of Brain Function Psychologists have found that the brain often shows “localization of function”. This means that different parts of the brain carry out different tasks‚ for example‚ vision‚ voluntary movement and speech. The idea is that not all parts of the brain do the same thing‚ and that each part functions on its own‚ without the aid of other areas of the brain. This may seem obvious‚ but other organs‚ such as the liver‚ do not show localization of function; one part of the liver
