THE ANATOMY OF WHITE MATTER AND ITS ANORMALIES.pptxoluwatosinsax
White matter is an area of the brain that mainly consists of myelinated axons, which are long relays that extend out from the soma. These axons are known to be whiteish due to the relatively high lipid fat content of the myelin protein that sheathes them. Also, these axons form connections between brain cells and are usually distributed into bundles, called tracts, in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) or nerves (peripheral nervous system) (Mackenzie, 2019).
On a system level, we can say physiologically that the white matter contains majorly myelinated axons. The myelin is deposited onto the axons by glial cells called Oligodendrocytes. However, not all the axons are myelinated, which means the white matter also contains unmyelinated axons and glial cells (non-neuronal cells) such as oligodendrocytes and astrocytes, Schwann cells (Mackenzie, 2019). The white matter affects learning and brain functions, modulating the distribution of action potentials, acting as a relay, and coordinating communication between different brain regions (Douglas, 2008).
Generally, white matter is essential for the efficient functioning of the central nervous system, facilitating the transmission and integration of neural signals that underlie sensory, motor, cognitive, and emotional processes. Therefore, disruptions in white matter structure or function can lead to neurological disorders, cognitive impairment, and deficits in motor and sensory functions.
1. Transmission of Nerve Signals: White matter forms the communication network of the brain and spinal cord. It contains bundles of myelinated axons that transmit nerve impulses between different regions of the CNS. These axonal tracts facilitate the rapid and efficient transmission of information, allowing for coordinated responses to internal and external stimuli.
2. Integration of Information: White matter pathways connect various regions of the brain, allowing for the integration and processing of sensory, motor, and cognitive information. These pathways enable different brain regions to communicate and work together to perform complex functions such as perception, memory, language, and decision-making.
3. Coordination of Motor Function: White matter tracts play a crucial role in coordinating voluntary and involuntary movements. Motor commands generated in the cerebral cortex are transmitted through white matter pathways to the spinal cord and peripheral nerves, controlling muscle contractions and movements throughout the body.
4. Sensory Processing: White matter pathways carry sensory information from sensory receptors to the brain for processing and interpretation. For example, sensory input from the skin, muscles, and internal organs is transmitted via white matter tracts to the sensory cortex, where it is integrated and perceived as sensations such as touch, pain, temperature, and proprioception (awareness of body position).

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

2. COMMISURAL FIBRES
The commissural fibres interconnect the identical
cortical areas of the two cerebral hemispheres
(interhemispheric fibres). The bundles of such fibres
are termed commissures.
The important commissures of the brain are as
follows:
1. Corpus callosum.
2. Anterior commissure.
3. Posterior commissure.
4. Hippocampal commissure.
5. Habenular commissure.
3. CORPUS CALLOSUM
The corpus callosum is the largest commissure
of the brain. It consists of about 100 million
fibres. It interconnects two lobes of the
cerebral cortex.
4. ANTERIOR COMMISSURE
The anterior commissure is a small round bundle of white
fibres which crosses the midline in the upper part of the
lamina terminalis, immediately in front of the anterior
column of the fornix and interventricular foramen.
