ASTROCYTES

        

Main role:

1. Enshesth synapses, regulate neural excitability and synaptic transmission.
2. Respond to injury by secreting extra cellular matrix proteins.
3. Implicated in Neuro Genesis, cell migration and many neurological and Psychiatric disorders.
4. Regulate the transmission of electrical signals across synapses by modifying the concentration of extra cellular potassium; Controlling local blood flow, releasing and taking up neuro transmitters and other Neuro modulatory substances, delivering nutrients to neurons, and altering the Geometry and volume of space between brain cells. All these things influence nervous system, communication and plasticity.
5.  Astrocytes have anatomical and physiological properties that may impose higher- order organization on information processing in the brain. In the gray matter of the cerebral cortex and Hypocampus, Astrocytes are organized in non overlaping domains.
6. The largest cell body, had been found to stop up extra neurotransmitter molecules around neurons, there by protecting nerve cells from receiving too much stimulation.
7.  A fatty complex called APOE/Cholestrol and the protein Thrombospondin, these two chemicals are released by astrocytes to stimulate synapsys formation.
8. Astrocytes might contribute to  a greater capacity for learning.
9.  Neurons are like telephone communicating electrically through hard wired synaptic connections, Astrocytes may be like cell phones communicating with chemical signals that broadcast widely but can be detected only by other astrocytes.
10. Astrocytes have listening ability.

This practise requires minimum one year. In every practise Rewrite the paper for minimum 5 times, understanding the functions of the astrocytes. Practise meditation on your’s A 25 for 5 minutes. 30 minits Visualize the functions of Astrocytes in your Prefrontal cortex-Brain Insula-White matter-Neuron-Synapses junction- Astrocytes coverage. Functions- Ferrying, Ion exchange, Neurotransmitter maintenance, Releasing ATP, Listening ability etc.  (Contd… 18)

NUTS-AND –BOLTS-OF –THE –LEARNING—MACHINE-1

 

Hai friends,

                        These are some current advances in brain research from, the dane alliance for brain initiatives, NRTA-AARP’s foundation community of USA. These are a nonprofit organization of more than 200 leading neuroscientists, including 10 noble laureates. We humans are learning machines, and the brain is the engine that drives the machine. Nerve, Glia, Synaptic, Mylination, Neurotransmitter etc are the nuts and bolts of the learning machine. Neuroscientists revealed, number of pin points about life long learning.

           

                        Learning and memory are not the same thing, though they are intricately linked. Learning is how you acquire new information about the world, and memory is how you start that information over time. There is no memory without learning, but there is learning without memory. Each thought, action are sensory perception, stimulates distant sets of nerve cells and brain chemicals. One can imagine each cell as a musician in an elaborate symphony orchestra. Neurons, glias are the working horses of the brain. Cells pass signals along, like runners in a relay race.

                        Scientists believe that long term memories are encoded with in specific patterns of synopsis within the irregular folds and ridges that comprise the brain’s cortex. The frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex, especially the so called pre frontal cortex, is essential to high level mental functions such as reasoning and planning. The hypocampus, from the core of the brain’s memory processing system. It is remarkable to consider that we can change our brain just by learning. The brain is in a state of continual activation as we go about our daily life. The adult brain, and even the adult aging brain, is fine tuned by experience in both its performance and its abilities, essentially organizing itself in accord with its experience to prepare for the future. The capacity of the brain to structurally adjust itself to reflect our life experience – which scientists called plasticity –is what enable us to learn and to change the brain by learning.

            Synaptic connections, capillaries, glias, mylination, neuro genesis, forming of new proteins, cortical density, white matter, neuro transmitters  systems, synapsis density are some of the main bolts of the learning machines. In our glia gym to meditate on glia mylination, astrocyte’s functions on synaptic gap, micro glia’s macrophage.These are  the central bolts. GG improves neurons and glias, synapsis function, neuro genesis, brain plasticity. Brain blood circulation.For more scientific information visit google search and images,for more related topics visit our previos archives.

                        “Slips of the mind”, forgetting the names starts from 20’s,young they don’t care it, but elder peoples broods on this. This is natural. Our body system, muscles, heart, working abilities decrease with age. Cognition means mental skills, including attention, learning memory, language, and executive functions such as decision making, goal setting, planning and judgement. (Contd.. 6-18)
