This document discusses coordination in multicellular organisms. It describes the five components of a coordinated action: stimuli, receptors, coordinators, effectors, and response. In animals, the nervous system and chemical systems work together to coordinate actions. The nervous system uses neurons, nerves, and the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) for coordination. The central nervous system receives information from receptors and sends messages to effectors through neurons to produce responses.
the nervous system is a highly complex part of an animal that coordinates its actions and sensory information by transmitting signals to and from different parts of its body.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
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.

Introduction
• All organism interact with their environment and respond to changes taking place in the environment. In our daily life we
perform different activities i.e.
1. If you want to write a letter, you first take a pen and a paper, then think about what to write, and then start writing.
2. Breathing and heartbeat rates are increased, blood pressure is adjusted, and extra heat is removed fast from the
body.
How does this all happening such specify way?
4. Contoso
S u i t e s
Coordination and Control
• The answer is that;
In our body there is a system working to coordinate and control all the action. The tissues
and organs in the bodies of multicellular organisms do not work independently of each other. They work together
performing their many tasks as the needs of the whole body. This means that these activities are coordinated
5. Contoso
S u i t e s
Coordination In Multicellular Organism
Coordination means to
integrate among different
parts of the body and to
respond to stimuli in order
to keep harmony with the
environment
Coordination is the property
of all living organism
6. Contoso
S u i t e s
There are two types of coordination in organisms:
i. Nervous coordination
ii. Chemical coordination
Animals have both the nervous and chemical coordination
systems in their bodies while plants and other
organisms(unicellular organisms, fungi etc. ) have only
chemical coordination.
7. Contoso
S u i t e s
Mechanism of Coordination
(Components)
• A coordinated action has five
components;
9. Contoso
S u i t e s
i) Stimuli
(Singular: Stimulus)
Receiving Stimulus
What happens when we touch a snail?
We might have seen the flowers of sunflower plant moving towards the sun.
What could be the reason for all this?
Touch, light etc. are factors that can bring about certain responses in living
organisms. These factors are called stimuli.
We can define a stimulus as any change in environment (external and internal),
which can initiate/provoke a response in body of organism.
Examples ; heat, cold, pressure, sound waves, presence of chemicals, microbial
infections etc.
10. Contoso
S u i t e s
ii- Receptors
The parts of body which receive or feel the stimuli are called
receptors
Example
sound waves are detected by ears,
light is detected by eyes,
chemicals in air are detected by nose and so
on.
Our sense organ (eye, ear, skin, tongue and nose) are the
main receptors of the body
11. Contoso
S u i t e s
iii- Coordinators
Message to Coordinators
The receptors send the information's of stimulus to coordinator. It
analyses the information and makes a decision
These are the organs that receive information from receptors and
send messages to particular organs for proper action.
In nervous coordination, brain and spinal cord are coordinators.
They receive information and send messages through neurons in the
form of nerve impulses (electrical signal).
In chemical coordination, various endocrine glands play the role of
coordinators. They receive information in the form of various
chemicals and send messages by secreting particular hormones in
blood.
12. Contoso
S u i t e s
iv- Effectors
Producing Response
The coordinators sends a message to special parts of body for proper action (response). These parts are called effectors.
These are the parts of body which receive messages from coordinators and produce particular responses.
In nervous coordination, neurons carry messages from coordinators (brain and spinal cord) to muscles and glands, which act
as effectors.
In chemical coordination, different tissues of the body act as effectors
Similarly, bones and liver act as effectors for many hormones.
13. Contoso
S u i t e s
v- Response
Producing Response
On receiving the message from coordinators, the effector performs
action. This action is called response.
Example;
Pulling our hand away from something very hot and the
movement of the flower of sunflower towards light are responses.
Usually, nervous coordination produces immediate but short-living
responses while chemical coordination produces slow but long-living
responses.
14. Contoso
S u i t e s
Example of Mechanism of Coordination
18. Contoso
S u i t e s
Human Nervous System
• Central nervous system comprises of coordinators i.e.
Brain and Spinal cord
• Peripheral nervous system consists of nerves that arise from central nervous system and spread in different
parts of body.
• All these components are made of neurons.
Now we will first examine the structure and types of neuron and then we will go to the divisions of nervous system.
22. Contoso
S u i t e s
Structure of Neuron
Cell body
• Cell body consists of a cell membrane encircling
cytoplasm, nucleus and other cell organelles like Golgi
complex, mitochondria, ribosome, endoplasmic,
reticulum etc.
23. Contoso
S u i t e s
Structure of Neuron
Dendrites
One or more short processes called
dendrites are arise from the cell body.
Their function is to bring the impulses
towards the cell body.
24. Contoso
S u i t e s
Structure of Neuron
Axon
Axon is a long thread-like, in branch process which extends from one side of the cell body.
It takes nerve impulses away from the cell body.
Axon of large neurons are generally covered by a white sheath called a myelin sheath. This sheath is made of
fatty material which insulates the axon.
The sheath is broken at different intervals called nodes.
The distance between two nodes is covered by a Schwan cell.
26. Contoso
S u i t e s
Types of neuron
On the basis of functions, neurons are classified into three types
1. Sensory neurons carry impulses from sense organs to the CNS. Sensory neurons
have single long dendrite and one short axon.
2. Motor neurons take impulses away from CNS to effectors. They have many short
dendrites and only one long axon.
3. Associative neurons link sensory and motor neurons with each other. They are
found in the CNS and make up the brain and spinal cord. They have short dendrites
and axons
28. Contoso
S u i t e s
Nerve
A nerve means the union of several axons that are enveloped by a covering made of
lipid. Nerves arise from the brain and spinal cord and make peripheral nervous system.
Based on the property of axons, the nerves are classified into three types.
1. Sensory nerves contain the axons of sensory neurons only.
2. Motor nerves contain the axons of motor neurons only.
3. Mixed nerves contain the axons of both i.e. sensory and motor neurons.
31. Contoso
S u i t e s
The central nervous system
• The The central nervous system (CNS) consist of the brain and the spinal cord.
• A- Brain
In animals, all life activities are under the control of brain.
• Brain is situated inside a bony cranium (part of skull).
Inside cranium, brain is covered by three layers called meninges.
• Meninges protect brain and also provide nutrients and oxygen to brain tissue through their capillaries.
The brain contains fluid-fled ventricles that are continuous with the central canal of spinal cord.
• Fluid within ventricles and central canal is called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It bath neuron neuron of brain against physical
and mechanical stress.
34. Contoso
S u i t e s
The Divisions of Brain
There are three major regions in the brain of human and other vertebrates. These are forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain.
Important parts of each of these regions are described below:
1. Forebrain
Forebrain is the largest area of brain. It is most highly developed in humans. Following are the important parts of this
region.
35. Contoso
S u i t e s
Cerebrum
• Cerebrum is the largest part of forebrain. It receives sensory information, processes it, store memory for future use,
direct voluntary movements, and responsible for, thinking, intelligence, decision making and emotions. The speech
center is also present in cerebrum. It is divided into two cerebral hemispheres.
• The anterior parts of cerebral hemispheres are called olfactory bulbs which receive impulses from olfactory nerves and
create the sensation of smell.
• The upper layer of cerebral hemispheres i.e. cerebral cortex consists of
grey matter.
• The grey matter of nervous system consists of cell bodies and non-myelinated axons. Beneath this layer is present the
white matter.
• The white matter of nervous system consists of myelinated axons. Cerebral cortex has a large surface area and is folded
in order to fit in skull. It is divided into four lobes.
36. Contoso
S u i t e s
i) Thalamus lies just below cerebrum. It serves as a relay center between various parts of brain and spinal cord.it carries
sensory information especially from the eyes and ears and generally from skin and other internal organs of the body
to limbic system and cerebrum. Thalamus is also involved in pain perception and consciousness (sleep and
awakening).
ii)
(ii) Hypothalamus lies above midbrain and just below thalamus. In humans, it is roughly the size of an almond. One of
the most important functions of
hypothalamus is to link nervous system and endocrine system. It controls the secretions of pituitary gland. It also
controls feelings such as rage, pain, pleasure and sorrow.
38. Contoso
S u i t e s
b. Mid Brain
• Midbrain lies between hindbrain and forebrain and connects the two. It receives sensory information and sends it to the
appropriate part of forebrain. Midbrain also controls some auditory reflexes and posture.
It controls reflex movements of the eyes and hearing reflexes.
39. Contoso
S u i t e s
c. Hindbrain
Hindbrain consists of three major parts.
• (i) Medulla oblongata lies on the top of spinal cord. It controls breathing, heart rate and blood pressure. It also controls
many reflexes such as vomiting, coughing, sneezing, blood circulation etc. Information that passes between spinal
cord and the rest of brain pass through medulla.
• (ii) Cerebellum is behind medulla. It coordinates muscle movements.it also involve in learning and memory storage
• (iii) Pons is present on top of medulla. It assists medulla in controlling breathing. It also serves as a connection between
cerebellum and spinal cord.
40. Contoso
S u i t e s
2. Spinal cord
• B- Spinal Cord
the spinal cord transmits impulses from body parts to the brain and from the brain
to the body parts. It starts from brain stem and extends to lower back. Like brain,
spinal cord is also covered by meninges. The vertebral column surrounds and
protects spinal cord.
In cross section , the spinal cord shows 2 distinct parts:
• An inner butterfly part contain grey matter around a central canal and outer part
which is composed of white matter
• It control the reflex action region of the body to brain for final response and
transmits the messages from the brain to lower part of body
• The 31 pairs of spinal nerves arise along spinal cord. These are “mixed” nerves
because each contains axons of both sensory and motor neurons.
43. Contoso
S u i t e s
Peripheral Nervous System
• The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is composed of nerves and ganglia. Ganglia are the clusters of neuron cell bodies
outside CNS. Nerves arise or lead to brain and spinal cord. So they are named
as cranial and spinal nerves.
• Humans have 12 pairs of cranial nerves and 31 pairs of spinal nerves. Some cranial nerves are sensory, some are motor
and some are mixed. On the other hand, all spinal nerves are mixed nerves.
The cranial and spinal nerves make two pathways i.e.
• sensory pathway (conducting impulses from receptors to CNS) and motor pathway (conducting impulses from CNS to
effectors).
• Motor pathway makes two systems
1. Somatic Nervous System
It is responsible for the conscious and voluntary actions. It includes all of the motor neurons that
conduct impulses from CNS to skeletal muscles.
44. Contoso
S u i t e s
Autonomic Nervous System
• It is responsible for the activities, which are not under conscious control. It consists of motor neurons that send impulses
to cardiac muscles, smooth muscle and glands.
• Autonomic nervous system comprises of sympathetic system and parasympathetic system.
• Sympathetic nervous system prepares body to deal with emergency situations. This is often called the “fight or flight”
response. During an emergency situation, this system takes necessary actions. For example; it
dilates pupils, accelerates heartbeat, increases breathing rate and inhibits digestion. When stress ends, the
parasympathetic nervous system takes action and normalizes all the functions. It causes pupils to contract, promotes
digestion, and slows the rate of heartbeat and breathing rate.
46. Contoso
S u i t e s
Reflex Action
If you finger touches the tip of a needle , you at once retract your hand without thinking.
Blinking of eyes and jerking of knee are all different types of reflex action.
Reflex action is an automatic, immediate, quick involuntary, fixed response to environmental change (stimulus)
When central nervous system sends impulses to muscles and glands, two types of actions (responses) result.
1. The higher centers of brain control the conscious action or voluntary actions.
2. When impulses are not passed to the higher centers of brain, it results in responses which are not under conscious
control. Such responses are called involuntary actions.
Sometimes, the involuntary response produced by the CNS is very quick. Such a response is called reflex action. The
pathway followed by the nerve impulses for producing a reflex action, is called reflex arc
this actin starts with a sensory neurons shifts the impulse to the motor neuron which takes the impulse to the effector
48. Contoso
S u i t e s
• The most common example of reflex action is the withdrawal of hand after touching a hot object. In this reflex action,
spinal cord acts as coordinator.
Heat stimulates temperature and pain receptors in skin. A nerve impulse is generated which is carried by sensory
neurons to the interneurons of spinal cord from interneurons, the impulse is passed to motor neurons, which carry it to
the muscles of arm.
As a result, the muscles contract to withdraw hand. During it, other interneurons transmit nerve
impulses up to brain so that the person becomes aware of pain and what happened.
