Cultured for two days, the normal one extends an axon and many dendrites, while the mutated neuron fails to make such extensions. <a href="http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2007/nerves-1119.html">Full story</a><br />Video / Erik Dent and Frank Gertler 18 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/232121100 2008-12-01 10:16:11 -0500 msrp2008 "You realize that you're not in competition with anyone else here. You're in competition with yourself." --Bianca Jones, Senior, St. John's University 113 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/232100280 2009-05-28 10:44:31 -0400 MIT News Office Neurons in the visual cortex (area V4) encode the visual scene, and neurons in the FEF portion of prefrontal cortex control the focus of attention. When attention (cone and circle) is directed to the red book, neurons in FEF and V4 (represented by red triangles) start firing rhythmically, and the neural activity becomes synchronized across the two areas. 3 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/232074800 2009-05-21 11:51:27 -0400 MIT OpenCourseWare In this session: Overview of cognition<br /><br />Thought, learning, perception, reasoning, and language are all cognitive abilities powered by the soft squishy gray stuff inside our skulls. After a quick-and-dirty introduction to neurons and the brain, we'll examine several aspects of human cognition and look at the neurophysiology that underlies them. We'll also discuss methods used to study these areas, read some current research, and navigate the wilds of the science library. 1951 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/232050160 2009-07-23 13:59:28 -0400 MIT OpenCourseWare In this session: Learning and long term potentiation<br><br>Thought, learning, perception, reasoning, and language are all cognitive abilities powered by the soft squishy gray stuff inside our skulls.
