Cells 19, 23, 28 and 29 of pattern [19 23 28 29 32 35 36 42] are stimulated as well as noise cells 45, 46, and 47. The blue traces are the excitatory cells, red are the inhibitory companions. The full assembly activates and then dies out around 250ms. The noise cells shut down before 50ms even passes.

We can get a better look by looking up close at the trace of cell 36, one of the cells in the assembly that did not receive a stimuli. Just type viewer(v _ ex,v _ in,36) into the prompt.

This is a close up of cell 36 Excitatory and Inhibitory from the simulation above. The blue trace of the excitatory cell slowly increases until it reaches a threshold where upon it fires rapidly. The interspike intervals decrease until the cell shut off. The inhibitory cell show by the red trace receives no input once the noise cells have been shut down.
Here the two C a 2 + pools are plotted for excitatory cell 36. Note the AP calcium enters quicker, the NMDA calcium has a slower time course and helps shut down the assembly.

Simulation 2 - pattern competition

In this simulation we will stimulate cells in two different patterns and see if one will "win" by activating it’s full pattern and suppressing the competing pattern. We will use the pattern from above and also another pattern.

>> find(p(6,:)==1) ans = 11 12 19 22 27 29 33 39

This pattern 6 should be interesting since it has two overlapping cells with pattern 1 (that is # 19 and # 29). Let’s run a simulation that picks one of the overlapping cells (19), 4 others from pattern 1 (28 32 35 36) and 3 more from pattern # 6 (11 12 22).

>> [v_ex,v_in] = LF_network(.01,50,350,1.5,[11 12 19 28 32 35 22 36],pp);
5 cells from pattern 1 and 4 cells from pattern 6 are stimulated. Pattern 1 resolves and shuts down around 250 ms

We can now try stimulated 4 cells from pattern # 1 and 5 cells from pattern # 6 .

>> [v_ex,v_in] = LF_network(.01,50,350,1.5,[11 12 19 22 27 28 32 35 ],pp);
4 cells from pattern 1 and 5 cells from pattern 6 are stimulated. This time Pattern 6 resolves and shuts down around 250 ms

Conclusion

This module has shown how results from the paper being followed can be reproduced. Hopefully, this will be helpful should future VIGRE students wish to pick up on these ideas. Extracting all the information out of the papers is difficult, so this module should serve as an easier way to follow the research we have done in the CAAM 499 Hippocampus Neuroscience Research Class in the Fall 07 and Spring 08 Semesters.

How bacteria create energy to survive?
Muhamad Reply
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments

But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?

explain assimilatory nitrate reduction
Esinniobiwa Reply
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
