Anatomy and Physiology is a dynamic textbook for the two-semester human anatomy and physiology course for life science and allied health majors. The book is organized by body system and covers standard scope and sequence requirements. Its lucid text, strategically constructed art, career features, and links to external learning tools address the critical teaching and learning challenges in the course. The web-based version of Anatomy and Physiology also features links to surgical videos, histology, and interactive diagrams.

A Clinical Approach to the Human Brain
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This course is designed to provide an understanding of how the human brain works in health and disease, and is intended for both the Brain and Cognitive Sciences major and the non-Brain and Cognitive Sciences major. Knowledge of how the human brain works is important for all citizens, and the lessons to be learned have enormous implications for public policy makers and educators.
The course will cover the regional anatomy of the brain and provide an introduction to the cellular function of neurons, synapses and neurotransmitters. Commonly used drugs that alter brain function can be understood through a knowledge of neurotransmitters. Along similar lines, common diseases that illustrate normal brain function will be discussed. Experimental animal studies that reveal how the brain works will be reviewed.
Throughout the seminar we will discuss clinical cases from Dr. Byrne's experience that illustrate brain function; in addition, articles from the scientific literature will be discussed in each class.

Differential RNA packaging into small extracellular vesicles by neurons and astrocytes
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) mediate intercellular communication by carrying RNA, proteins, and lipids between cells. These cargo molecules mirror the physiological state of their donor cells, but they are selectively loaded into sEVs. sEVs can cross the blood-brain barrier, and their contents may be influenced by neurological disorders, making them potential biomarkers. Identifying cell-specific signatures could be an important first step in the biomarker discovery process. Recently researchers examined sEVs isolated from cultures of primary mouse cortical neurons and astrocytes. They identified distinct total RNA and miRNA profiles between the two cell types. While astrocytes had a greater number of detected miRNAs than neurons, neurons expressed more sEV-associated miRNAs than astrocytes. They also identified short miRNA sequence motifs that were differentially loaded to or excluded from sEVs..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

The Importance of Early Childhood Development
Rating
0.0 stars

Early Childhood Development (ECD) spans from the moment of conception until the beginning of primary school, and includes physical well-being, and cognitive, linguistic, and socio-emotional development. Investing in ECD leads to happier children, more equal societies, and prevents higher costs further down the road.
