Neurons communicate with each other via electrical and chemical signals. At the synapse, an electrical signal in the presynaptic neuron causes release of neurotransmitters like acetylcholine or glutamate. These bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, generating an electrical response that may trigger an action potential for signal transmission. Neurotransmitters can be excitatory, opening sodium channels to depolarize the membrane, or inhibitory, opening chloride channels to hyperpolarize it. Precisely timed signals at synapses allow neurons to integrate information in the nervous system.

Nervous system forms an interconnecting fibers of communication network.
In the ‘hard-wiring’ of the nerves, the signals travel in the form of a flow of electrical current called nerve impulses.
The stimulus-response reactions afford internal constancy in the face of environmental changes.
these slides contain a brief introduction of neurons and its classification as well as details of generation of action potential, resting potential and eletrotonic potential.

A synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows a signal to pass from one neuron to the next. Neurons are cells that transmit information between your brain and other parts of the central nervous system. Synapses are found where neurons connect with other neurons.
Synapses are key to the brain's function, especially when it comes to memory.Synapses connect neurons and help transmit information from one neuron to the next. When a nerve signal reaches the end of the neuron, it cannot simply continue to the next cell. Instead, it must trigger the release of neurotransmitters which can then carry the impulse across the synapse to the next neuron.
Once a nerve impulse has triggered the release of neurotransmitters, these chemical messengers cross the tiny synaptic gap and are taken up by receptors on the surface of the next cell.
These receptors act much like a lock, while the neurotransmitters function much like keys. Neurotransmitters may excite or inhibit the neuron they bind to Synapses are composed of three main parts:
The presynaptic ending that contains neurotransmitters
The synaptic cleft between the two nerve cells
The postsynaptic ending that contains receptor sites
An electrical impulse travels down the axon of a neuron and then triggers the release of tiny vesicles containing neurotransmitters. These vesicles will then bind to the membrane of the presynaptic cell, releasing the neurotransmitters into the synapse.
Good pipetting technique helps scientists achieve more reliable results from their experiments. Nothing is more frustrating than having to repeat an experiment because poor pipetting technique offset the accuracy of aspirated volumes by 10-50%. Good pipetting technique may also help avoid embarrassing retractions of manuscripts from journals after peers fail to replicate an experiment. Proper pipette technique not only improves experimental outcomes, but it also helps protect the scientist from injury resulting from poor micropipette technique. As proper pipetting technique encompasses the use of ergonomic pipettes, this can also translate to a long-lasting investment for your laboratory. By choosing CAPP’s range of ergonomic pipettes labs have the benefit of long-lasting and robust tools that can be used for a very long time. When coupled with the use of CAPP’s premium filter tips and pipette cone filters that protect pipette shafts from potentially harmful splashes, good pipette technique will save on the cost of equipment replacement.

Nitric oxide supplements are a category of supplements that includes L-citrulline and L-arginine. Researchers have performed multiple clinical trials related to nitric oxide supplements and their effectiveness, often with mixed results.
Mitochondrial biogenesis is the process by which cells increase mitochondrial numbers. It was first described by John Holloszy in the 1960s, when it was discovered that physical endurance training induced higher mitochondrial content levels, leading to greater glucose uptake by muscles. Mitochondrial biogenesis is activated by numerous different signals during times of cellular stress or in response to environmental stimuli, such as aerobic exercise.
Melatonin is a hormone made in the body. It regulates night and day cycles or sleep-wake cycles. Melatonin in supplements is usually made in a lab.
Darkness triggers the body to make more melatonin, which signals the body to sleep. Light decreases melatonin production and signals the body to be awake. Some people who have trouble sleeping have low levels of melatonin. It's thought that adding melatonin from supplements might help them sleep.
Ion channels have many features of typical membrane proteins. They are synthesized and inserted into the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, glycosylated in the Golgi, and transported and inserted into target membranes by membrane fusion. They are regulated by trafficking, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, reversible interactions with other signaling proteins and second messengers, proteolytic cleavage, and other modifications. Like other signaling proteins, ion channels are flexible molecules that undergo conformational changes between open (active) and closed (inactive) states. They evolve and increase in number through phylogeny and can be placed in gene families and super families according to their sequence similarities.
Glucose transporters are a wide group of membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of glucose across the plasma membrane, a process known as facilitated diffusion. Because glucose is a vital source of energy for all life, these transporters are present in all phyla.
"A biological database is a large, organized body of persistent data, usually associated with computerized software designed to update, query, and retrieve components of the data stored within the system. A simple database might be a single file containing many records, each of which includes the same set of information."
The attractive force which holds various constituents (atom, ions, etc.) together and stabilizes them by the overall loss of energy is known as chemical bonding. Therefore, it can be understood that chemical compounds are reliant on the strength of the chemical bonds between its constituents; The stronger the bonding between the constituents, the more stable the resulting compound would be.

The health effects of hazardous chemicals are often less clear than the physical hazards. Data on the health effects of chemical exposure, especially from chronic exposure, are often incomplete. When discussing the health effects of chemicals, two terms are often used interchangeably - toxicity and hazard.
Biogas is produced after organic materials (plant and animal products) are broken down by bacteria in an oxygen-free environment, a process called anaerobic digestion. Biogas systems use anaerobic digestion to recycle these organic materials, turning them into biogas, which contains both energy (gas), and valuable soil products (liquids and solids).

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. Neurons
• Basic units of the nervous system
• Receive, integrate, and transmit
information
• Operate through electrical impulses
• Communicate with other neurons
through chemical signals
6. Mechanism of nerve transmission
• Axonal transmission: Voltage gated cation
channels generate action potentials in
electrically excitable cells.
• Synaptic transmission: Transmitter gated ion
channels convert chemical signals into
electrical ones at chemical synapses.
7. Axonal transmission
• A nerve impulse can be initiated by mechanical,
chemical, thermal or electrical stimulation.
• When the axon is stimulated the resting potential
changes.
• It changes from -70mV inside the membrane to
+40mV.
• For a very brief period the inside of the axon
becomes positive and the outside negative.
• This change in potential is called action potential
and lasts about 3 milliseconds.
8. Cont…
• Cell membrane permeability must be changed
for a nerve impulse to travel down a neuron.
• Na⁺- K⁺ ATPase pumps K⁺ into and Na⁺ out of the
neuron.
a) A cell is normally polarized when a neuron is at rest – called
it resting potential
9. b) A portion of the neuron becomes depolarized
–
Na⁺ moves into the cell
c) Cell repolarization - K⁺ moves out of the cell.
12. Cont…
• The axon may be myelinated or non-myelinated
Saltatory conduction: It is the word used to
describe the “jumping” of the action potential
from node to node.
- Provides rapid conduction of impulses
- conserves energy for the cell
Multiple sclerosis is the disease in which the
myelin sheath is destroyed and associated with
poor muscle coordination.
14. Synaptic transmission
• Neuronal signals are transmitted from cell to cell at
specialized site known as synapses.
• It may be of 2 types:
a) Electrical synapse: synaptic cleft gap is 20Å and
direct action potential
b) Chemical synapse: synaptic cleft gap is >200Å and
action potential is by neurotransmitters.
• A change in electric potential in the pre-synaptic cell
triggers it to release small signal molecules known as
Neurotransmitters, which are stored in synaptic
vesicles and released by exocytosis.
15. Neurotransmitters
– Chemical messengers that traverse the synaptic
gaps between neurons
– When released by the sending neuron,
neurotransmitters travel across the synapse and
bind to receptor sites on the receiving neuron,
thereby influencing whether it will generate a
neural impulse
16. Types of neurotransmitters
• Excitatory (EPSP)
– usually when receptor channels admit sodium
Ex: Acetyl choline, glutamate, adrenaline
• Inhibitory (IPSP)
– usually when receptor channels admit
chloride/potassium
Ex: Dopamine, glycine, GABA
17.
18. Acetylcholine
• 1st substance identified as NT
• Links motor neurons and
muscles (contract or relax)
• Also involved in memory,
learning, sleep, dreaming.
• It is called as cholinergic
synapse, it has 2 receptors:
a) Nicotinic receptor
b) Muscarinic receptor
• It is a ligand gated cation
channel & degraded by
acetylcholineesterase.
19. Neuromuscular transmission by
acetylcholine
It involves the sequential activation of gated ion channels
1. Arrival of an action potential at the terminus of a pre-synaptic
motor neuron induces opening of voltage gated Ca²⁺
channel
2. Subsequent release of acetylcholine, which triggers opening of
ligand gated acetylcholine receptors in the muscle plasma
membrane
3. The resulting influx of Na⁺ produces a localized depolarization
of the membrane leading to opening voltage gated Na⁺
channels and generation of an action potential
20. Cont…
4. When the spreading depolarization reaches the T tubules, it is
sensed by voltage gated Ca²⁺ channels in the plasma
membrane. This leads to opening of Ca²⁺ release channels in
the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane releasing stored Ca²⁺
into the cytosol.
The resulting rise in cytosolic Ca²⁺ causes the muscle
contraction.
