June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

10. Chemical synapse
• Almost all synapses used for signal
transmission in the CNS of human
being are chemical synapses.
• First neuron secretes a chemical
substance called neurotransmitter
at the synapse to act on receptor on
the next neuron to excite or inhibit
its sensitivity.
11.
12. Synaptic transmission
• 1) One way conduction (one direction of impulse
transmission through a synapse (from the presynaptic neuron that
secretes the transmitter to the postsynaptic neuron on which the
transmitter acts)
• 2) Delayed conduction
• 3) Fatigue development
For nerve fiber: two-way transmission, no
delay of impulse conduction along
individual fiber, relative infatigability

16. Brief Historical Comments
Weber (1845)-inhibitory process was
discovered for the first time (inhibition of
heart by vagal stimulation)
Sechenov(1862)-discovered inhibitory
center in the brain ( excitation of the
thalamic region inhibits spinal reflexes in
the thalamic frog)
Goltz discovered inhibitory processes in the
spinal cord (inhibition of two spinal reflexes
that arises in response to stimulation of two
different receptive zones simultaneously in
the spinal frog)
Sherrington (1900-1920) discovered
reciprocal inhibition in the spinal cord(in
mammals)
Magoun (1945-50) discovered inhibitory
zones in the reticular formation of the
brainstem.
Eccles (1950-60) discovered postsynaptic
and presynaptic inhibition (by
microelectrode method)
17. - Inhibitory synapses are axo-somatic
- the mediators are glycine or GABA
- The exit of potassium ions and influx of chloride
ions cause more negativity inside, leading to
hyperpolarization.
- Inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) is the
electrical potential in the form of hyperpolarization
that develops during postsynaptic inhibition.
- Inhibitory neurotransmitter substance acts on
postsynaptic membrane by binding with receptor.
-This complex opens the potassium and chloride
channels (instead of sodium)
-Hyperpolarized state of the synapse inhibits synaptic
transmission
-
Inhibitory synapses are axo-axonic
-The mediator is GABA
- The exit of chloride ions causes inhibitory
depolarization (cell will less negative inside) of
presynaptic part (300-400 ms)
-This prevents (decreases the quantity) of
neurotransmitter release from presynaptic part
because reduces calcium influx to presynaptic
part.
This inhibitory neuron inhibits the presynaptic
neuron and decreases the magnitude of AP (5%)
in presynaptic neuron.
So the magnitude of EPSP in postsynaptic
neuron is decreased (50%) resulting in synaptic
inhibition.

24. When motor neurons send motor impulses,
some of the impulses reach the Renshaw
cell by passing through collaterals.
Now, the Renshaw cell is stimulated.
In turn, it sends inhibitory impulses to a
motor neurons so that, the discharge from
motor neurons is reduced
25.
26. Nerve centers
• Nerve center is a group of neurons acting together in the performance of
a definite reflex or in the regulation of a particular function
27. Neurons are
interconnected with one
another (with the help of
neuro-neuronal
synapses) to form
circuits.
Many neural circuits
together form a
neural system
28. DIVERGENCE
Divergence is the process by which
one presynaptic
neuron terminates on many
postsynaptic neurons.
Output from one neuron onto many.
Each postsynaptic neuron receives
input from the same presynaptic
neuron, but may react to it differently.
In a divergent neural circuit, the axon
of one neuron branches to send
information to multiple target
neurons. Divergent output allows the
same signal to reach many different
neurons.
„CONVERGENCE
Convergence is the process
by which many presynaptic
neurons terminate on a single
postsynaptic neuron
Output from many neurons
onto one. Many different
presynaptic neurons provide
input to a single postsynaptic
neuron. These inputs may be
excitatory or inhibitory, and
may be active at different
times.
„
29. The basic properties of nerve centers
• 1) Unidirectional (one-way) conduction of excitation
• 2) A central delay of excitation (delayed conduction)
• 3) Summation (temporal and a spatial)
• 4) Occlusion
• 5) Post-tetanic potentiation
• 6) Aftereffect (after action)
• 7) Transformation of the rhythm of excitation
• 8) An irradiation of excitation
• 9) A plasticity of nerve centers
• 10) The tone of nerve centers
• 11) Fatigue of nerve centers
• 12) Sensitivity to an oxygen deficiency and to the chemical
drugs
30. the impulses are transmitted only in one direction in
synapse, i.e. from presynaptic neuron to postsynaptic
neuron.
31. Synaptic delay is a short delay that occurs
during the transmission of impulses through the
synapse.
It is due to the time taken for:
i. Release of neurotransmitter
ii. Passage of neurotransmitter from axon
terminal to postsynaptic membrane
iii. Action of the neurotransmitter to open the
ionic channels in postsynaptic membrane.
Normal duration of synaptic delay is 0.3 to
0.5 millisecond.
Synaptic delay is one of the causes for
reaction time of reflex activity.
32. Spatial summation occurs when many
presynaptic terminals are stimulated
simultaneously.
Temporal summation occurs when one
presynaptic terminal is stimulated
repeatedly.
Thus, both spatial summation and temporal
summation play an important role in
facilitation of response.
33. Occlusion
Occlusion is demonstrated in a flexor reflex involving a muscle, which is
innervated by two motor nerves.
These nerves can be called A and B.
If nerve A is stimulated alone, the arbitrary unit of tension developed is 9.
If the nerve B is stimulated then 9 units of tension is developed too.
So, the sum of tension developed when the nerves A and B are separately
stimulated = 9 + 9 = 18 units.
When both the nerves, A and B, are stimulated simultaneously, the tension
developed by the muscle is less (12) than the sum of the tension developed
when each nerve is stimulated separately (18).
This phenomenon is called occlusion (is due to the overlapping of the nerve
fibers during the distribution)
34.
35. After – action:
excitation lasts many times longer in the
nerve center then the stimulation of ifs
receptive field, because
1) after depolarization of the neuron causes
prolonged rhythmic discharge – short-term
after-action
2) circulation of nerve impulses through the
closed neuronal chain (reverberatory circuit)
provokes long-term after-action
36. PTP – increase of excitability
of the nerve center just after
rapidly repetitive stimulation
It results from excess of Ca 2+
ions in the presynaptic terminals
(because Ca –pump acts
slowly).
The more Ca 2+ concentration,
the more vesicular release is
observed ( 2 times)
37. Tone of nerve centers – is
a constant excitation of
their at rest
Factors that maintain the
tone:
1) Constant afferent
impulses from
receptors
2) Action of various
humoral substances
(oxygen, carbon
dioxide,,,)
3) Automatic activity of
neurons
38. High sensitivity to hypoxia: when the cerebral blood flow
suddenly interrupted, cortical neurons within 5 to7 sec becomes
unexcitable (the person becomes unconscious) and within 5 to 7
min they completely die.
High sensitivity to drugs and toxins: caffeine, theophylline,
theobromine (which are found in coffee and tea) increase neuronal
excitability (they reduce the threshold potential)
When areas of the NS became overexcited fatigue is
development and causes them to lose this excess excitability.
Thus the development of fatigue is a protective mechanism
against excess neuronal activity.
43. Moving systems of spinal cord
Moving control in spinal cord occurs with the help of reflex arcs (is the anatomical
nervous pathway for a reflex action). A simple reflex arc includes 5 components:
There are 3 types of neurons in reflex arc:
1) Afferent neuron - transmit information
from periphery
2) Interneuron – combine afferent and
motoneuron
3) Motoneuron – control activity of muscles
Afferent and efferent nerve fibers may be
connected directly to the center.
1. Receptor is the end organ, which receives the
stimulus. When receptor is stimulated, impulses are
generated in afferent nerve.
2. Afferent or sensory nerve transmits sensory
impulses from the receptor to center.
3. Center (is located in the brain or spinal cord)
receives the sensory impulses via afferent nerve
fibers and generates motor impulses.
4. Efferent or motor nerve transmits motor impulses
from the center to the effector organ.
5. Effector Organ is the structure such as muscle or
gland where the activity occurs in response to
stimulus.
44. There are 3 parts of the brain
stem:
- Midbrain (mesencephalon)
- Pons
- Medulla Oblongata
Three parts of the hindbrain:
- Pons
- Medulla Oblongata
- Cerebellum
The (critical collecting link between spinal
cord and high brain centers).
It is sometimes called “the reptilian brain”
because is the oldest and most basic region
of the brain.
45. 1) Nuclei of 12th, 11th, 10th and some nuclei of 8th and 5th cranial nerves are located in
the medulla oblongata (hypoglossal nerve controls the movements of tongue,
accessory nerve - movements of shoulder, vagus nerve controls almost all the vital
functions in the body (CVS, RS, GIS ). 8th cranial nerve (the cochlear division) - is
concerned with the auditory function.
Nuclei of 8th, 7th, 6th and 5th cranial nerves also are located in pons
2) Brainstem serves as a conduct for ascending and descending tracts ( connects the brain
with the spinal cord ) and as a way station for signals from higher neural centers.
3) Brainstem provides many special control functions:
- control of respiration ( Medulla oblongata, Pons);
- control of CVS - vasomotor center controls blood pressure and HR (Medulla oblongata);
- control of GI function - salivation, deglutition and vomiting centers (Medulla oblongata);
- control of stereotyped movements of the body (pons and midbrain)
- control of equilibrium (vestibular nuclei of medulla and pons)
- control of vision, hearing, eye movements and body movements (Midbrain)
4) Information from the ears enters the pons first (Pons)
5) control of muscle tone, complex muscular movements, righting reflexes, movements of
eyeballs, skilled movements (red nucleus of midbrain)
6) It has parts that are important for the level of consciousness and for sleep, regulates
awareness (reticular formation)
7) Especially important are the reticular formation and vestibular nuclei of the brain
stem.
