00:02 Welcome back. This is neuroscience lecture . Would we discussed last time where

00:08 of the features of the cells the to find the neurons. Some of

00:12 things that are basic in common amongst lot of different cells in the body

00:17 some of the things that are unique as modern nations such as accent,

00:22 segment accident initial Hillock which produces the potential. You have a zonal terminals

00:28 you have electrochemical synaptic neural transmission that place there. You have these very

00:35 in very spines that are little outgrows the gun rights. We discussed that

00:41 have the same machinery for genetic expression that different cells and different parts of

00:47 body and different subtypes of neurons in brain expressed slightly different subtypes of genes

00:53 smooth in the plasma particular um and apparatus with their respective functions,

00:59 which is a source of energy in form of ATP and the brain consumes

01:04 lot of energy. The fasting lipid layer plasma membrane, which is really

01:08 fluid mosaic. Model mosaic is comprised different elements on the different parts of

01:14 plasma membrane or trans membrane elements such receptor channels, receptor length of G

01:21 coupled receptors like a proteins, And it's fluid because it's not just

01:27 by fluid. It's also the fact the mosaic itself rearranges and these elements

01:32 their trance membrane elements have ability to dynamic and to move through these fossil

01:37 bi layer as it is demanded by in the underlying structure of the membrane

01:44 the overall structure of the cell is by the side of skeletal elements.

01:49 tubules, narrow filaments and micro Micro tubules being the largest ones and

01:56 these micro tubular highways. Um This a mile in sheep that has shown

02:02 surrounds the axon and acting molecules being smallest ones. And because active molecules

02:08 the smallest ones will also find most the active elements located on the

02:16 close to the outer edges of the membrane responsible for shaping. Really the

02:21 edges of the cell membrane and other like turbulent, which is stand in

02:27 here will be located closer to the . Uh not only the solo but

02:34 nucleus of the south supporting the base and larger side of skeletal elements

02:41 So active molecules have the ability to arise and to longer change some deep

02:46 arise and get broken up into shorter . And all of this is necessary

02:51 order to change the shape of the brain. Especially when you're talking about

02:56 good expires which are very small and changes in the scrum brain scan can

03:01 very significant to the synapse. So Alzheimer's disease pathology hallmarks of this pathology

03:10 shared the slide. We said that the extra cellular outside environment of the

03:15 you have the formation of the amyloid amyloid. See now Alzheimer's plaques,

03:21 start aggregating calcify ng and impinge ng disrupting the connectivity between the south and

03:27 networks at least south and also preventing action potentials to be normally generated by

03:34 Exxon initial segments of accidents in So on the inside the neurons liberally

03:41 which are associated with another protein. haven't discussed tile Prodan, the neuro

03:47 tangles that we discussed. They will with a normal transport inside the south

03:53 delivery of goods and stuff. So have an extra cellular clock and you

03:57 an interest are tangled on the gross pathological pathology. You would see a

04:05 Alzheimer's pathology of Alzheimer's pathology or severe of gray matter mm white matter,

04:12 neuro degeneration, significant narrative generation with cortex of the neocortex and also higher

04:19 structures. Right? We also talked symptomology. So if you remember at

04:24 early stages we said that person may short term memory loss may be a

04:31 bit of disorientation, anxiety and then becomes plaques in the severe form of

04:36 takes over. It becomes deadly to functions of the brain which controls vital

04:42 of the body. We talked about onset of the disease and we said

04:46 this is an aging persons disease. is not a normal part of

04:51 There is a high prevalence of that starting 50 and older and the older

04:56 are 80 and 90. The higher likelihood is a person having or developing

05:02 disease. We didn't talk that much therapy but we did talk about how

05:08 come back and talk about therapy and mentioned that most of the drugs that

05:12 treat acetylcholine dysfunction. And so this a network and the neuro transmission.

05:19 your transmission that gets impaired in Alzheimer's significantly and early on uh you have

05:27 have a proper synaptic transmission in order the cells to communicate. And so

05:31 you have a breakdown of either intracellular cellular early by the plaques or by

05:36 tangles of the synaptic transmission or deliver goods along the accident, they will

05:42 the communication between neurons and the communication networks. But once an action potential

05:49 produced in this accident initial segment here is actually regenerated at the nose of

05:54 D. Polarizes external terminal which is loaded with mitochondria is to have significant

06:00 of energy source of A. P. And it has all of

06:04 vesicles that are sitting on the plasma . The synaptic vesicles will fuse with

06:10 plasma membrane. The release chemical neurotransmitter the synaptic collapse the physical space of

06:16 20 nanometers that are supporting the pre . There are past synaptic neuron and

06:22 an optically we already know that we'll densities of pa synaptic receptor. So

06:27 these pots synaptic receptors for glutamate and synapse or the action the has vesicles

06:33 glutamate is an excited person up if vesicles contained Yabba Yammer community uric acid

06:39 it contains Gaba receptors, parson that effect is going to be inhibitor

06:44 the boston opportunity. So glutamate will posttraumatic mirror and will make it more

06:50 , will make it more likely to an action potential and inhibit. There

06:54 analysis will make this fast synaptic neuron likely the fire an action potential to

07:01 the information to the interconnected regions. have interrogated transport and retrograde transport.

07:09 we briefly discussed as uh Ineson is transport and dina and has a retrograde

07:16 . So goods go both directions from settlement to the periphery into the processes

07:21 from the processes into the summer which the retrograde transport. And we talked

07:27 you can use the retrograde transport or such as the horseradish for oxidants in

07:32 if you want to for example, what uh neurons are connected to this

07:39 of the periphery or this patch of brain. If you're interested in the

07:43 or nerve you can inject horse peroxide itself will get taken up by

07:48 accidents that will get transported retrograde lip the selma's of these nerve cells and

07:53 will precisely know what network of cells which cells which neurons are connected to

08:00 particular patch off the brain or of scan and so on. Herpes virus

08:06 rabies, viruses will also use retrograde and some of the viruses be capable

08:11 both interrogate and retrograde transport. We about in good experience and how they

08:17 in many different shapes on the in to that they also contain colorado so

08:21 complexes and also their own stores of which makes them biochemical independent. These

08:27 by units are biochemical independent of this than riddick shaft or the overall summer

08:34 the cell, which is really responsible generating most of the goods coding for

08:39 of the goods with respect to fragile . It's an autism spectrum disorder.

08:46 we talked about Alzheimer's disease, we mentioned something that is called co morbidity

08:52 is something that will make you die because you have the disease. For

08:58 , if you're disoriented and you fall you break your bone now you have

09:01 broken hip, you have a potential mobility that has developed in addition to

09:07 disease and now you're even more likely follow and injure yourself again. Therefore

09:14 lifespan is getting shortened by these comorbidities fragile like syndrome. Uh One of

09:21 comorbidities is apple, etc. And . And unlike alzheimer's disease, this

09:27 a developmental disorder. So abnormal formation the spines, abnormal densities. Uh

09:35 length of these spines and location along shaft will resolve the mental did

09:42 So as a model essentially for precise and the dendritic spines and fragile

09:49 That's a developmental disorder. And like disease. So the prevalence would be

09:55 answer and uh this is as much we're going to touch on this

10:02 But to take our message is how uh dendritic uh connections that expands in

10:11 and how if you disrupt this precise of the explains what is happening.

10:22 I can never kept that open on . And as an example on the

10:33 you have a cell where you have of the excitatory synopsis shown in

10:38 It contains glutamate receptors. Blue are agree dramaturgical excitatory synopsis. All of

10:44 orange synopsis. Gaba receptors are orange these are all of the inhibitory

10:51 And most of the synopsis as you see have formed on the democrats in

10:54 the settlements. So if you have organization and abnormal organization of the Madrid

11:01 the lack of it. And do expands. You will not be able

11:04 process information properly and the cell has process information from hundreds thousands sometimes tens

11:13 thousands of synopsis that are excitatory will the cell get more excited and communicate

11:19 information to another salad on the And inhibitory cells. It will inhibit

11:24 sell sell sell stay down, be , don't talk to the other connected

11:31 and not for some no you have jump through a couple of slides and

11:39 here mm. Most neurons as we how for functional regions so you can

11:45 them. You have an input region region. The Selma conduct. I'll

11:50 which is your axons and the output which is a sign ups. And

11:55 output can be on another neuron and muscle on the small capital in the

12:02 . Or even on neuroendocrine system, releasing hormone systems as well. We

12:08 classify neurons as you as you recall on their anatomy and based on the

12:16 and what that means is that Unipol typical invertebrates cell has only one

12:22 It's only one north pole bipolar cells will study when we study the retinal

12:29 have two poles. They have a pole and the house south pole pseudo

12:34 polar has two poles but it has axons so it has a peripheral accent

12:40 the central accent. An example of unit polar cell is the dorsal root

12:46 cell. It's a sensor in Iran that projects information from the periphery with

12:54 acts on picks up that information takes to the selma and from their projects

12:59 the spinal cord. And then most the neurons in the brain are multipolar

13:05 as motor neurons. Multipolar. You uh parameter excited to the south of

13:11 motor polar. We'll talk about And one of my favorite south anatomically

13:17 Kinji sellers cerebellum That contains up to synopsis on this massive and really

13:28 The other way that we classify in answers. Some of them do not

13:32 the great expanse and all the spine that's normal way to look at the

13:36 to uh some of the neurons are to production cells and they will release

13:44 excited during neurotransmitter glutamate and other And what that means the production

13:50 That means that that cell excited resell project out and communicate the information from

13:56 sell this axe on is going to long and is going through on to

13:59 part of the brain or another part this anatomical structure. The into neurons

14:07 short axons and they will control activity a local network level, controlling the

14:14 cells on what the projection cells communicate to the interconnected networks. Excitability,

14:21 to inhibitory south specific markers. Certain will produce their baptize their transmitters,

14:31 binding proteins inside of them. And subtypes of cells will not finally action

14:38 firing signatures, neurons produce these very fluctuations. About 100 million volts over

14:45 milliseconds. Or so. The first potential recorded by Hodgkin and Huxley.

14:51 the first published intracellular recording actually 1939 . Giant axon. So it's not

14:59 giant squid that swallows the whole boat the ship but it's a giant axon

15:05 in the squid that's about one And you can see it with your

15:10 eye and established with a needle or with the naked eye as well.

15:16 you have to think that in 1939 don't have computer controlled recordings, electrical

15:23 . So this is a picture of silla scope and to capture that.

15:29 use to have a freezing image on screen of the silla scope and then

15:34 a Polaroid camera. Polaroid cameras came into style like some eight years ago

15:41 when they went out of style again put the Polaroid camera and you basically

15:45 an instant picture of that action And then how do you publish

15:54 Quite interesting, right? Just the are very different. There's no

15:59 there's no things like that. You , there's there there are called copy

16:04 so you can copy things, you . So this is what you

16:08 You basically at that time if you things you measure and you draw things

16:13 you do in school. You know you do to do a geometry graph

16:17 you draw something. So this is this is what the original paper submissions

16:22 when we had, you know the of this modern neuroscience, if you

16:26 back to some of the basic And of course when you send in

16:30 of that original information and the that's another thing. Somebody would use

16:35 paper, they send you red mark coffee, Somebody reviews your paper in

16:44 . And guess what you have to . You have to re type the

16:49 thing on the typing machine on the . All right. So there is

16:56 . So you don't do it. don't mess up, you don't mess

16:59 . There's no spell checker on a ? The grammar shaka. Nothing.

17:05 , so this is this is just to give you an idea of what

17:08 guys recorded this action potential. I mean, I don't know what

17:14 your Giovanni didn't know. But Ramon didn't know. We now see that

17:19 cells not only produce electrical activity and contract The muscles or the muscles contracted

17:28 , but the record, we now record action potentials in 1939. And

17:35 World War two actually, there was lot of technological development of the special

17:39 the Navy side and a lot of electronics and electrophysiology equipment was adopted for

17:47 research from Navy as well. For , in the lab we use

17:54 cables, electrophysiology equipment that's called N. C. And you'll have

17:59 same BNC cables and all of the and us harmony. So this things

18:06 detection of silla scope seminars and things that, that the overlapping with modern

18:13 and allowed than after World War Two do more precise recordings. And then

18:18 around uh nineties uh 2000s it became that the brain contains over 150 or

18:29 different subtypes of neurons. And so will be a very important question

18:35 it was first, what does this do? Is it important or is

18:38 hard important Then when you figure out inside the brain, all these

18:43 ventricles must be important. And you out, oh there's electricity,

18:49 We haven't talked about it but we know that there's synaptic transmission. Chemical

18:53 transmission. So you build all all that information. You want to localize

18:59 function that broke us area. That's area. That's crude anatomical description of

19:07 area. What is subtypes of the and Broca's area? So at the

19:12 of the 20th century, beginning of century now, modern neuroscience is getting

19:17 understanding precisely how, oh my I didn't start recording. Oh

19:26 So I don't want to repeat all that. So now the question

19:33 what are these different sometimes? How we distinguish them? We just talked

19:38 the specification. Is it just all ? Is it all the cellular

19:42 What is more in there? And let's go over the anatomy before we

19:47 about the function. And there's aspects anatomy that we discussed here. So

19:51 said that this is hippocampus, one the most studied structures in the

19:57 It has three dominant players already autumn the dollar and orients. And if

20:03 look at the circuit, it has 21 different subtypes of cells and these

20:12 that are in green, blue and here are excited to our criminal

20:16 Most of excited for criminal cells are indian positive or cbP plus and they're

20:22 in this pyramidal a layer right on of each other, right next to

20:26 other in very high density. That's it's called. Perimeter layer. There's

20:31 other excited ourselves that our orients and adam. And the point is that

20:37 parameter excited to ourselves which are multipolar are projection neurons. Which means that

20:43 information from this network from this entire which is called C A three from

20:50 network is going to be communicated to network solely through the projection cells.

20:57 there's going to be a lot of , a lot of analysis, a

21:01 of local activity in the circuit going . But that activity is local activity

21:07 these local circuits and the projection cells communicate that activity into the interconnected areas

21:15 hippocampus or toronto cortex cortex that is close to the hippocampus. So how

21:23 we distinguish between these 21 different subtypes cells and anatomical and morphological e.

21:30 a lot of things that we can to distinguish them. It depends where

21:34 so much are located. So there a few inhibitor into neurons that have

21:38 much in the through the dollar But most of them are either in

21:44 Autumn or orients. And some of inhibitory cells will have these vertical gun

21:49 and others will have horizontally projecting These are all queues. These are

21:54 anatomical morphological cues that you're working with subtypes of cells and you say like

22:00 do you want to know that? uh As I said, the challenge

22:05 the 21st century is to ultimately know every synapse is doing in every south

22:11 do sell non invasively while still tracking gross activity in the whole brain.

22:18 to get to that level, we to understand what these individual cells are

22:22 , what their functions are, how are all different and how they influence

22:26 activity that projects out of these Then when you look at some of

22:32 , we said that they look quite . So number two, number 4

22:36 are located and pyramidal in then drives projecting vertical. These synapses which are

22:43 cups. There's another way that you between into neurons. Some of these

22:48 cups and into neurons will connect onto optical them rights. And other yellow

22:54 will target the paras, somatic and regions of the parameter cells. But

23:00 you look at two and four there's there. Yellow cops targets the same

23:06 . So what is the difference between and four? They look the

23:09 They're located the same. The synaptic or connectivity on the phenomenal South is

23:15 same. You then look at one cells. These are called basket cells

23:20 providing them positive and it's a calcium protein. That means it's genetically expresses

23:25 calcium binding protein. And to provide and sell, sorry in the Basket

23:30 , that's number four does not have them. Instead, it has another

23:35 which is called CCK or solar system . So ultimately the difference between these

23:41 cells is the specific marker cellular The distinguishes number two basque itself.

23:50 four baskets. However, if you want to do this work and submitted

24:00 the journalist that will accept this work accept this work in your telling the

24:06 that I'm recording from parameters how and recording from pick a number number 14

24:13 . All right. Was number Okay, let's say # seven.

24:19 gonna do an experiment on number seven is all the lamps sell one of

24:24 favorite south and parameters south. And have About five professors around the

24:31 Get my paper and I have to them That I recorded this activity that

24:39 recorded phenomenon would have a seizure activity I'm studying in vitro. I have

24:44 convince them that I did record from seven and not from number 15 and

24:50 from number 16 And now from number . Why? Because seven. And

24:55 other numbers I'm talking about 15, , 17. They kind of look

25:01 . So how do you do this of work? You do this kind

25:04 work And in vitro and slice You have a slice of the brain

25:11 pressure prepared is preserved. And it's life. And you do electrophysiology.

25:16 recordings. So in addition to the and south pacific markets which you don't

25:22 when you're starting to experiment unless you some sort of a transgenic animal which

25:29 be done these days, you can have a transgenic animal that will have

25:33 of these subtypes of cells glowing with and you can target it. We're

25:39 about animal research and transgenic MILES models particular. But if you don't know

25:46 you have a normal tissue that hasn't genetically altered, that doesn't have a

25:50 , this is expressing fluorescent inside the . What do you do? You

25:55 it under the microscope? You visualize using infrared differential contrast that we discussed

26:02 the infrared cameras. And then you these electrodes and these electrodes pass electrical

26:11 into these cells. And what you do now is you can pass the

26:15 same stimulus, the exact same electrical of these two cells, essentially,

26:21 two cells are getting the same Now the cell on the left response

26:28 the very fast each one of these going up and down vertical lines represent

26:37 individual action potential and the cell on left responds by firing a very fast

26:45 of action potentials is quiet high The cell on the right, it

26:52 the same identical stimulus. The cell the right produces a very different pattern

27:00 action potentials. So this is your ongoing experiments. You, too.

27:05 see two cells there next to each . They look morphological lee different but

27:10 don't see through infrared. Ir the anatomy, you see the selma's,

27:16 stimulate them with the same stimulus. respond differently. That's a good

27:21 You're onto something. Okay. during the experiment there is another guy

27:27 we haven't discussed that you can place the electrodes. It's called neuro biotin

27:32 bias tighten. And during this electrical during this experiment that die will

27:39 will infuse inside the neurons and it diffuse throughout all of the processes of

27:49 minerals. So now you did a of experiments, you recorded some electrical

27:54 in two cells. Maybe you manipulated , Maybe you apply some chemical.

28:00 you want to confirm post talk after experiments finish that you really recorded from

28:06 seven South, like I was telling . And the criminal South. So

28:11 is a neuro biden die and you develop that die and reproduce the precise

28:16 of the cells and they will look similar. Another die that we saw

28:21 desert is a golgi stain. Golgi reveals precise anatomy of all of the

28:27 . And you can very clearly see is the selma and then black.

28:31 see that done rights coming off horizontally then you have this Axiron that goes

28:37 the optical regions here and then you this parameter sound Gramajo cell has its

28:44 them dries and has an accident. accident is actually coming at you.

28:48 going out of the plane that's a acts on going into an adjacent region

28:53 the hippocampus. But that is still enough. I still don't know whether

28:59 cell Is # seven or maybe number . I don't know. I still

29:07 know Or maybe number 17. So in order to get your work in

29:15 really good journal, you have to a double a triple immuno histology.

29:20 in you know, it's the chemistry which you use antibodies that are directed

29:25 specific cell markers. And I showed this cell that I was recording from

29:32 talked like a number seven cell that like a number seven cell in fact

29:38 semantics happened and it's a mark of marker that confirms that his numbers haven't

29:45 . And it also is positive for , which is minor abidance. It's

29:49 salary recorded from. It's very tough do these kinds of experiments. You

29:55 simultaneously record from several cells at the time. But this is the only

30:00 that we're getting to what single cells do and what individual different subtypes of

30:08 , how they behave and how they the activity of the projection selves.

30:14 so in in in reality when you at the circuit and you think about

30:19 of the things that I was telling like brain waves oscillations up and down

30:25 . Brain waves are also brain maps they travel through brain tissue and we

30:29 activity maps. And the complexity of activity. And the complexity of the

30:36 waves comes from the diversity and the of the inhibitory results. Think about

30:44 excited ourselves. They have to reliably an action potential and excited distal

30:51 These 21 different sometimes themselves. They to do a lot of control of

30:56 of these projection neurons. And guess ? If you look at another patch

31:01 the grains such as neocortex, what would see as you would see an

31:08 and the collection of different neurons. if you were to place an electra

31:14 is a small patch of cortex just couple of centimeters uh and in

31:22 And you will record from many different in this cortex which you will find

31:28 that all of these different solid different dialogues. So the same language

31:36 an action potential. But it's a dialect and you can stimulate these cells

31:42 exactly the same stimulus and they will very differently. And so I like

31:47 do this invitation here. We actually these kind of recordings where we transform

31:56 into an audio sound and the I'll just do it for you.

32:01 this cell gets stimulated and you can the cell doesn't produce action potentials right

32:06 but it's delayed. So if I to imitate the cell vocally would be

32:12 this stimulus song. Mm That's the of the self speaks right next to

32:25 . There's another cell is also So stimulus sang. But when it

32:32 on it will just produce a continuous . What we call the continuous frequency

32:38 these actual potentials. This is a sell and at first it produces a

32:45 and then it goes into fast frequency and then it slows down over

32:52 So this would be stimulus song. is a regular bursting cell. Which

33:05 that despite the fact that is receiving exact same stimulus as these guys here

33:09 top. But instead of having this changing number and potential it produces these

33:16 up and down and on top of oscillation it has a train of action

33:21 writing. So it sounds like this song. This one is continuous stimulus

33:39 . This is the code. It's a morse code. Now you have

33:49 very complex morse code that is encoded different subtypes of neurons where each one

33:57 these neurons depending on the slightly different genetic expression proteins, channels ionic

34:06 Things like that produces its own dialect is speaking And these inhibitory cells and

34:12 subtypes of inhibitory sauce that I was to your Hippocampus. They will all

34:16 their own dialects of speaking to the sounds and out of this. Out

34:22 this it's like instruments right? Think the symphony. You come in the

34:28 and before the concert starts it can your ears. The fluid is blowing

34:35 loud and the violin is trying to in south and it sounds like a

34:41 . Every instrument is doing their tuning their own and then it goes

34:48 and then it starts out first Second vinyl tympani in the back starts

34:54 and oh and all the violence together woodwind instruments and so on. And

35:00 all coherent and it could break down chaos again and become coherent again.

35:06 so this is how it is from individual activity of these cells comes across

35:12 and activity in the network. That an oscillation, that activity in the

35:17 and gets communicated to the adjacent and brain regions. And these patterns are

35:27 different thoughts, different emotions, different in which we encode motor patterns of

35:34 the output that we have comes from different instruments or self contributing to an

35:41 network activities. Yes. Oh, from A to Z. Um it's

35:58 interesting question whether this was adopted by military, from the military. I

36:04 that the military with the answer maybe that the military is very much interested

36:09 how this works so that they can it for different things. So there's

36:15 there's a division of military DARPA that's much involved in very progressive forward thinking

36:24 . They allocate some of the funds they think that um you see the

36:31 of the emergence of intelligence and the cortical microcircuits. So the interest that

36:37 intelligence, artificial intelligence is how to some of these circuits and obviously military

36:45 like to use it for uh destructive , not just for you know,

36:52 good things. So It's a good . I think everything is intertwined.

36:57 is just an example of what this would entail. I started telling

37:01 So you showed up in the lab at 8:30 pm you go to,

37:07 do you do? You go to fridge and a couple of rain slice

37:10 just record from it. No, can't, you have to go to

37:14 very um you have to get your or your rat most of these

37:18 abdominal mouse or rat brain slices and have to anesthetize animals. Do the

37:25 protocol, prepare your solutions, prepare place to slice and artificial service spinal

37:31 . That's exaggerated. So that the things is still a part of the

37:35 because guess what? You know, need oxygen and so you need to

37:40 them with cerebrospinal fluid equivalent and oxygen oxygen comes from the lounges and the

37:47 goes into your neurons and neurons as I mentioned, a very needy

37:51 oxygen, very sensitive. And so this case it takes about an hour

37:57 a half to have a slice brain sitting underneath this, let's hear,

38:04 , the microscope. And then uh have a whole computer equipment to silla

38:11 , amplifiers connected to it have a of about maybe a quarter of an

38:19 here. Something to work with When trying to place four electrodes in there

38:24 before you know, it's like six Whoa, you know, the slices

38:30 alive about 10, 12 hours. you kind of do this experiment

38:35 but you also kind of just do for an hour. I'm done.

38:39 know, another right tomorrow, who ? You know, you kind of

38:44 , you have to be dedicated to and then six popular regardless and stuff

38:48 . And then instead of using sophisticated , you put a pen holder here

38:54 a, from a pen, you see to hold your little pre amplifier

38:58 , you get that magical experiment before of eight p.m. The following day.

39:04 can show up at 11 documentaries, one o'clock, you should see what

39:12 had and I'm like, okay, can do what you do keep doing

39:19 you do. So it's, it's tough to do these experiments and,

39:24 in my life I have done what call the multiple patches, multiple sell

39:31 at the same time. And my interest wasn't understanding what different subtypes of

39:37 are doing in starting a seizure So I wanted to know, is

39:42 excited to yourselves that starts seizure, inhibitor assaults, which ones are active

39:49 . And it turns out it's an songs that become active first and then

39:52 failed, which allows for excited to to synchronize and produce abnormal activity,

39:59 spreads throughout the brain tissue. But was experimentally never shown before on a

40:05 level in in in this way. it's very exciting. And then you

40:09 , okay, what does it have do with the human brain and human

40:16 ? Just like uh studying fruit fly , zebrafish your system. So you

40:25 easily studying, you can have a end, They reproduce easily. You

40:30 need animal protocols or flies for Um you take it a step further

40:40 the dish. You want to prove in a whole animal. And quite

40:45 what you see in the dish. will then start reporting seeing in the

40:49 as well. And it is usually way that some crazy scientists are sitting

40:56 stabbing hundreds of cells in the middle the night. And then some

41:02 neurologists that are very interested in your are reading it are in the

41:07 They go back and look at the recordings, brain activity and like

41:11 we see similar stuff there too. know, so there's a real dialogue

41:16 enrichment, the two way enrichment between and basic science that happens here.

41:24 , so we're a long winded today we will start talking about glia,

41:32 just neurons and for a while glial thought to be just support installation functions

41:38 rather passive, just like the dough the cookie. But we know that's

41:43 the case. Micro glia for the scavengers, they are responsible for

41:48 repair and cleanup in the brain if is a damage and micro clear,

41:54 only that they're also involved in pro side of kind. So they're involved

42:00 the inflammatory processes and regulation of the processes in the brain. So,

42:05 you go into your folder, Um and uh in the blackboard,

42:14 not it. This was bad. . So I'm trying to or fix

42:27 for a second. Yeah, This uh what is happening is a time

42:40 . This is 10 micrometers in distance time lapse. So we'll see the

42:44 . But it's uh minutes, two . And what happens here in the

42:51 where you have this bright yellow ball where the site of injury takes

42:56 And you can read the details if want in the description in the

43:01 But suffice to say this is where injury happens. And these cells that

43:06 standard micro glial south stand with a stanford microglia. And what they show

43:12 that immediately after the injury. Microgreens growing their processes and extending their processes

43:19 . The site of the injury. then over time they actually even start

43:27 into the area moving there so you can see the soul must move

43:31 there over here closer into the location the injury. So Michael Glia is

43:38 responsible for damage repair but also control inflammation in the brain. And Michael

43:45 are the most dynamic units in the . Because they can actually move through

43:51 brain tissue. So as the injury in a specific part of the

43:58 they get recruited, so to by the signals and by the inflammation

44:03 injury that happened there. They get the control inflammatory processes. But they

44:10 Russian physically to take care of the the damage. So that's Michael

44:19 I'd like to please move down The next cells that we will discuss

44:33 Well I'm sorry I had a question I and I and I missed the

44:37 . Yes. So I think we're can use social and energy. What

44:44 you mean? Unlike they're all cells unlike other glial cells. Uh They're

44:57 very much so types of them in . But they're also part of the

45:02 grill networks. So they are involved the immune response. They're involved in

45:06 pro inflammatory cytokine release. Uh They in the brain and I don't know

45:15 you can call them exactly just immune . Uh huh. Stop waiting.

45:22 you. Or creative. Are you me are you telling me because

45:36 Yes. They're grouped together with real . Yes. Yes. It's a

45:40 a it's a good question because the of these cells. And I don't

45:44 I'm having such a hard time with this window down of mm hold on

45:53 say and I have to stop the you know for some reason just Oh

46:06 . Yeah. Mm. Yeah. . Mhm. It's not it's glial

46:27 so like I said I'm not responsible uh some of the commercials that come

46:32 front of some of these uh movies her. Uh Now let me open

46:47 why am I? Yeah. Mhm. Yeah. Yeah. Uh

47:06 . Oh I'm recording this whole Great. Okay so now we're the

47:13 type of cell that we're going to this radio grill. So and radio

47:17 cells are involved in guiding neuronal migration process outgrowth. And they can also

47:25 as neuronal and glial precursor cells. you're a potent precursor cells, what's

47:31 about neurons is that neurons are not in their final destinations. How you

47:36 them all scattered in the cortex, actually have to reach that final

47:41 They're forming a special parts of the and from there they migrate and find

47:46 final address and the layer in a location in the brain and in order

47:52 facilitate this migration you have radio glial and those radio glial cells uh as

47:59 see in this video serve as a neurons will form cytoplasmic continuity with the

48:08 glial cells and use it as a to help climb to help migrate and

48:15 its final destination and its precise location then there is a another uh huh

48:31 . I think I may have opened . Commercial hopefully doesn't commercially on the

48:38 so you can see that it's a migration that's happening and uh there's neurons

48:48 with each other and neurons are using glial cells to advance themselves into their

48:53 destinations in the brain. The third of leah is an ostracized and astrocytes

49:09 here as housekeeping tourists, neurotransmitter and uptake. And believe me housekeeping chores

49:15 very important. It's like flushing the . What happens is fairly different.

49:19 flushed uh and it's not just housekeeping . These are actively influencing neurotransmitter levels

49:28 the synapses. Influencing ionic concentrations around and around synopsis and actively controlling

49:38 The genesis of formation of the synopsis influencing synapse number synapse function and the

49:46 strength or a level of plasticity that are responsible for ostracized also form a

49:55 of blood brain barrier as well. this is there other functions that they're

50:01 in blood brain barrier formation. But and like neurons do not produce action

50:08 . Instead they produced these very slow authorizations that are mediated by calcium And

50:16 a way you can start thinking that are this multiple different Temporal processing scales

50:24 the brain. There are some neurons can fire 600 Action potentials for

50:31 Hz. The neurons that fired three potentials per second. Three hertz.

50:38 they're glial cells that produce these very seconds long deep polarization is that spread

50:44 calcium throughout the interconnected network. So much slower level of activity, much

50:54 level of managing the fasten attic transmission is happening at the same time in

51:03 . Glial cells are responsible for mile in the periphery. It is a

51:09 cells that will each individual Schwann cell form an individual segment of myelin on

51:16 peripheral nerves. Embassy and S. illegal dangerous sides that have multiple

51:23 And each one of these processes will responsible for wrapping around and forming an

51:29 segment of mild in between these smile segments. There is a break and

51:36 referred to as Note of Ranveer. note of ranveer contains quite a bit

51:40 a. T. P. As as high density of sodium and potassium

51:45 that are necessary to regenerate the action . They would get formed relax an

51:51 segment. So ostracized still most of space in the brain that is not

51:59 by neurons and blood vessels. So are quite more prevalent. But illegal

52:05 sides are the ones that are responsible formation of mile and and wrapping off

52:10 mile and sheet around the axons in cns. Mhm. So let's talk

52:21 little bit about myelin dysfunctions and how process happened. There's a slew of

52:28 , the number of proteins that control Myelin Nation and Myelin confection process.

52:35 have about seven related proteins, So Myelin associated glycoprotein mod, which

52:42 responsible for initiation of the island but also for things like South cell

52:49 . All right, so you have cell trying to touch another cell.

52:53 have to recognize another cell. And accent of that cell has to recognize

52:59 proteins and say, okay, we're wrap around me. This has to

53:05 , Right. And so it's complex . And if you have abnormal uh

53:15 protein level, sort of normal expression these different related proteins, you can

53:22 a dim illumination in the central nervous . When we talk about dim

53:29 we talk about another disease, It multiples for the roses. Multiple sclerosis

53:36 an auto immune disorder, which means its own immune system starts recognizing Myelin

53:46 elements in the myelin as foreign invader starts essentially destroying its own violent

53:54 Its own dim illumination is auto auto induced happens because of the chromosome

54:02 T mutation is not the only mutation can lead to multiple sclerosis. But

54:09 in this particular model of multiple And in general the symptoms of multiple

54:16 would be tremors and convulsions. So would be some of the motor symptoms

54:21 you may have traumas. Convulsions, . Because you have the Myelin Nation

54:27 central neurons. The central neurons are controlling the activity of the spinal nerves

54:34 well and therefore not controlling the border . So you will have the spasms

54:38 the muscles and cramps and uh you the imagination and the C.

54:44 S. You'll have all sorts of that are affecting uh neurons not just

54:52 and convulsions. And in order for master form you have to have two

55:00 out wheels. It's a recessive, form of genetic disease and the onset

55:09 multiple sclerosis. So Alzheimer's onset was asian population, fragile acts was developmental

55:17 . Uh multiple sclerosis onset is typically from 30s onward. Now, if

55:25 do an experiment, you have a with a genetic mutation chromosome maintain you

55:31 to battle eels you produce a shiver . The sugar mouse essentially will be

55:38 a human symptomology of tremors and Uh And this is a normal mylan

55:47 you can see a lot of mill stand in black that's wrapped around the

55:53 . This you can see the mill is very scant. It's very just

55:59 few layers and some of them are at all. Sugar mutants. Then

56:05 can transfer act normal gene back into animals. So this is an example

56:12 gene transfer action where you inject the and you hope that that gene generates

56:16 myelin maybe fixing the amount of protein allowing for that cell phone recognition to

56:24 place. And so you can restore the modern nation in this land.

56:29 you can you can do these And again, without animal experiments,

56:34 wouldn't know a lot of information about is happening in humans in the

56:41 You have a different problem in the . There is a protein that's called

56:46 . m. p. 22. . m. p 22. Uh

56:52 gene duplication chromosome 17. An overproduction p. m. 22. There

56:59 a development of what is called Charcot to disease. And you can see

57:04 this is a normal oxen in the . And this is struck out Marie

57:09 disease. You can see that there's lack of that stain. There's a

57:12 of my island nation. And you pick up actually uh in staying for

57:18 gene duplication. And you can stay for PMP 22 as well Now.

57:24 multiple sclerosis, which we said the is typical in the 30s, Charcot

57:29 Tooth is also developmental disorder. So is no cure for sharp out merited

57:36 and because of the abnormal stimulation of muscles, especially in the legs and

57:43 extremities, abnormal stimulation of muscles will cause deformities in the bones and the

57:50 in the bones can then cause impact , abnormal kind of a swinging like

57:57 and other bodily deformities that just follow lower extremities into the upper body

58:03 So the only way to combat shark narrative diseases, really to have as

58:09 diagnosis as possible and then use braces ankles and knees and certainly hip

58:17 source of racist to preserve as much possible of a normal bone structure.

58:23 it would help individual to control their their motor functions. They're walking forward

58:31 in particular a lot of times uh Marie tooth disease patients will have the

58:38 walk from side to side instead of forward walk because of the deformities of

58:44 lies that would have more of a step, kind of like swaying

58:50 And this slide puts almost everything in . In particular all of the cells

58:58 we discussed. The legal tender sighs for my island nation micro glial cells

59:05 for um damage repair information control involved the immune response in the brain astra

59:14 that are very intricately controlling synoptic synaptic activity, neurotransmitters and ions and

59:23 the and feet of the extra sized of blood brain barrier. You also

59:28 the tandem all south dependable South of the space between the cells that contain

59:35 fluid, interstitial space and there is that contain large amounts of cerebrospinal

59:43 You have a pendulum ourselves that provide that barrier between the actual cell environment

59:49 the Subaru spinal fluid that is in ventricles. There's defendable cells interesting

59:55 They're emerging sort of a potent sauce could become either neurons or glia

60:03 And the last subtype of real cells we didn't show here is radio Real

60:08 . We refer to that are involved early neuronal migration during the early development

60:16 brain barrier. We talked about it very first lecture. This is the

60:21 last slide. Maybe we'll go and your movie Or a quick one

60:29 But you have and the theory of here and they are essentially your blood

60:35 walls and they are containing tie junctions . That means things kind of pass

60:42 tight junctions unless they're supposed to pass they're really small or unless they have

60:48 that bring them across the cellular You have parasites surrounding the ethereal functions

60:55 the surrenders blood. And finally you the astra glial processes that surround the

61:03 and the basement membrane here and so all of these elements, the high

61:11 and you're agree or a specific and . You have a tight control of

61:17 is in the blood to what gets the brain. You don't want things

61:21 go into the blood to get into immediately into the brain, certain things

61:24 want to get into the brain. things you do not. So let's

61:30 if I can yesterday. I just . And they yeah. A search

61:40 it said something like Cymbalta. It's depression medication. And I'm not advertising

61:52 right, Cymbalta or anything like I don't know if it's a commercial

62:01 not. But when I looked up actually I looked up for anxiety medication

62:12 . Yeah Cymbalta showed up was the one. U. S.

62:15 O. Not affiliated with Cymbalta. don't promote Cymbalta. I don't use

62:27 . It's the first thing I talked him. I do that for a

62:31 because it's interesting too important to think the world and the brain a

63:31 So you're treating a neurological when a psychiatric disorders, depression, anxiety,

63:40 and you're having severe liver problems. is that all the drugs that are

63:49 is probably the secondary metabolism that happens liver. And so a lot of

63:54 substances you put in and the drugs you put in the medications they get

64:01 processed by certain enzymes and cider chrome's the liver. Right? And that

64:08 that why you affecting the liver if treating the brain, that means that

64:14 medication you're using in order for it affect the brain, you have to

64:18 a lot of it and a lot it will have the side effect the

64:23 effects in this case peripheral side So liver yellowing of the skin,

64:33 pain. Again doctor about the medicines migraine or you have a condition,

64:39 to address a possible life threatening condition . And before you reduce for her

64:49 side effects nausea and constipation. We constipation. You hear a lot of

64:56 opiates uh for you use for pain depression opiates it will cause constipation And

65:04 a pharmaceutical drug that's opiate induced constipation . So you have drugs that are

65:12 only treating conditions but you have drugs are treating side effects created by drugs

65:18 conditions. Alright. Never first line defense is change your diet and go

65:25 this culture very fast prescription stuff very . Even for kids actually for

65:32 D. H. D. And like this. You know it's very

65:35 I think. Uh And the reason is because when you treat the condition

65:41 treating the entire body and most of medications, how did they get into

65:46 into the brain? How do you most of your medications for a

65:51 Exactly. So it's either that's the of delivering that medication in the

65:57 It is not because what happens when delivered early it goes and it gets

66:03 by gastric juices, ph four ph some of the things get destroyed.

66:10 to pass bypass gas reduces get into intestinal environment. That's where you have

66:16 of that. Some of the things happen. Sublingual E. And

66:22 There's some drugs that you can dissolve the tongue and that's very good absorption

66:27 that bypasses the whole intestine or pathway digestive pathway, right? But most

66:36 the things you swallow with water, of the things you don't chew and

66:40 around your mouth on your cheeks are your tongue where you have most of

66:44 absorption here in the upper is a environment so you swallow stuff by the

66:51 is swollen enough stuff that it gets the digestive system and to the blood

66:58 passes through the blood brain barrier and or fact on yourselves. Okay,

67:04 what you want to do when you're about neuro drugs, you want to

67:10 drugs that are very effectively getting into brain, how does the virus get

67:17 the brain? One of the ways the nose through the epithelium nerve

67:25 There is some spray medications through the spray, apple etc medications nasal sprays

67:32 get stuff in the brain. That's . Yeah. Another way is,

67:38 you get stuff through the skin? so you can get it locally.

67:42 can have a local concentration not coming your stomach, high concentration to treat

67:47 here here, but it's applied locally most traditionally, if you're still swallowing

67:55 and you want things that get absorbed into the body and that pass through

68:02 blood brain barrier effectively. So their brain barrier. Their lipid soluble drugs

68:08 pass through the liquid membranes and get the brain. So it's a great

68:14 . We have a blood brain barrier therapeutically and especially when we're talking about

68:18 development of neuro drugs, it's also significant challenge to overcome if you don't

68:24 to create a slew of side And potentially new medications to treat the

68:28 of Yeah. All right. So your weekend. This is a short

68:33 for you. I'll see you on next week. I'll see everyone on

68:38 next week on Tuesday. Take care question before just after class. But

68:46 was wondering if there are diseases that caused by having too much Myelin Nation

68:51
