The document discusses neuroplasticity, which refers to the brain's ability to change and adapt throughout life due to experiences and environmental stimuli. It provides several key points:
1) Neuroplasticity allows for new neuronal connections to form and supports learning new skills, improved cognition and memory, and recovery from injury.
2) Neurons in the peripheral nervous system can regenerate axons due to support from Schwann cells, but regeneration is limited in the central nervous system due to glial scarring.
3) Long-term potentiation in the hippocampus involves strengthening synaptic connections through calcium ion influx and expression of AMPA receptors during coincident pre- and post-synaptic firing. This is a

The neuron, the basic building block of the nervous system, has three main components: (1) the cell body, which contains vital cellular structures; (2) bushy dendrites that receive messages from neighboring neurons; and (3) a long, thin axon that sends messages to other neurons through its branchlike terminal buds.

The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, and a complex network of nerves. This system sends messages back and forth between the brain and the body.
The brain is what controls all the body's functions. The spinal cord runs from the brain down through the back. It contains threadlike nerves that branch out to every organ and body part. This network of nerves relays messages back and forth from the brain to different parts of the body.What Are the Parts of the Nervous System?
The nervous system is made up of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system:
The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.
The peripheral nervous system includes the nerves that run throughout the whole body.How Does the Nervous System Work?
The nervous system uses tiny cells called neurons (NEW-ronz) to send messages back and forth from the brain, through the spinal cord, to the nerves throughout the body.
Billions of neurons work together to create a communication network. Different neurons have different jobs. For example, sensory neurons send information from the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin to the brain. Motor neurons carry messages away from the brain to the rest of the body to allow muscles to move. These connections make up the way we think, learn, move, and feel. They control how our bodies work — regulating breathing, digestion, and the beating of our hearts.

The nervous system is the body's communication network, coordinating and regulating all bodily functions. Comprising the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS), it consists of neurons, specialized cells transmitting electrical and chemical signals. The CNS, consisting of the brain and spinal cord, interprets and processes information. The PNS extends from the CNS, transmitting signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body. Sensory neurons detect stimuli, while motor neurons control muscle movement. This intricate system enables sensory perception, voluntary and involuntary actions, and regulates bodily processes, ensuring homeostasis and facilitating responses to the environment.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

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
Overview on Edible Vaccine: Pros & Cons with Mechanism
Neuroplasticity
1. COLLEGE NAME : BHU ( VASANT
KANYA MAHAVIDYALAYA )
TOPIC : NEUROPLASTICITY
2. Introduction
Plasticity refers to modification in nervous
system that occur in response to either internal or
external environmental circumstances of demand.
Primary Assumption: All the organisms are
fundamentally adaptive and confer on the ability
to survive under change condition
3. Introduction
Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to
change, for better or for worse, throughout the
individual’s life span.
It involves forming neuronal connections in
response to information derived from experiences
in the environment, sensory stimulation, and
normal development (Doidge, 2007; Merzenich,
2001; Nudo, 2008).
4. Introduction
Neuroplasticity refers to the moldable structure
of the brain and nerves that results from changes
in neural pathways and synapses.
These changes stem from changes in behavior,
environment, neural processes as well as
changes from bodily injury.
The brain does change throughout life.
5. Introduction
Neuronal plasticity is an important property of the
brain and refers to morphological, biological and
physiological changes occurring both in adult and
developing nervous system.
6. Introduction
Neroplasiticity generally refers to use dependent
neuronal network modification, which includes
short term modulations of functions and long
term structural changes.
Recent progress in understanding of neuroplasticity
also confirms that pattern of neuro-connectivity
are not rigid.
Brain is a network that is continuously remodeled
itself (Merzenich and Kaas, 1982)
7. Introduction
Cortical motor and sensory neurons are not
fixed to the functions they subserve
On the contrary, they quickly adapt to the
changing demand.
8. Positive Outcomes of Neuroplasticity
New skills
Better cognition
More efficient communication between
sensory and motor pathways
Improved function of the aging brain
Slowing down pathological processes
Promoting recovery of sensory losses
Improved motor control
Improved memory
(Mahncke, Bronstone & Merzenich, 2006; Mahucke & Merzenich,
2006; Nudo 2007; Stein & Hoffman, 2003).

9. If the cell body is damaged,
the neuron is lost;
there is no cell division in
adult brain to replace the
lost neuron.
10. If the cell body is lost, the axon will
be also degenerated;
but cell body is intact there is a
chance that the axon
will regenerate.
The postsynaptic,
(and the presynaptic), neurons are
also affected and may degenerate
11. RESPONSE OF THE NEURON TO INJURY
(summary)
A. All neurons - Despite different morphologies
- React similarly
A. Principles
-If cell body damaged, the neuron dies, and
is not replaced by cell division in mature
brain.
-If the axon is damaged or severed at a distance
from the soma, there is a good chance of
regeneration, primarily in the PNS.
-CNS neurons have the limited capacity to
regenerate.
12. Types of glial cells
1. Myelin-forming:
a. Oligodendrocytes b. Schwann cells 2. Astrocytes
(CNS) (PNS)
13.
14.
15. Myelin forming cells: (myelin important for conduction).
Oligodendroglia in CNS
Schwann cells in PNS.
Oligodendrocytes (CNS) are inhibitory to axon
regrowth in adult CNS regeneration;
Schwann cells (PNS) are supportive, as a growth
surface and releaser of growth factors.
Astroglia -
development: supports axon growth
mature: important for ion flux, synaptic function, blood
brain barrier
16. REACTIONS TO INJURY WITHIN THE
NEURON:
Immediately -
Synaptic transmission off
Cut ends pull apart and seal up, and swell, due
to axonal transport in both directions
26. Changes in the distal stump during
degeneration and regeneration (PNS)

27. Neurons in the PNS can regenerate their axons.
HOW? (summary)
a. After degeneration of distal axon and myelin,
macrophages clean up debris.
b. Macrophages release mitogens that induce Schwann
cells to divide
c. The myelin-forming Schwann cells repopulate the
nerve sheaths;
d. Schwann cells make laminin
e. Macrophages make interleukin, which induces
Schwann cells to make Nerve Growth Factor.
f. Axons sprout, and some sprouts enter new Schwann
cell tubes
g. Axonal growth cones successfully grow
28. Regenerative sprouting in CNS is
not functional and does not occur
Neural regeneration occurs most frequently in PNS
because Schwann cells produce nerve growth factor,
which help recovery.
Astrocytes and microglia form glial scars, which
physically block axonal regeneration
Oligodendrocytes produce Nogo (neurite outgrowth
inhibitor), which inhibits axonal regeneration
29. CNS Recovery:
Synaptic Hypereffectiveness
Occurs when only some branches of presynaptic
axons are damaged
Remaining axons receive all neurotransmitters that
would normally be distributed among all branches
Larger amount of
neurotransmitters
released to post- synaptic
receptors
30. CNS Recovery: Unmasking of Silent
Synapses
In normal CNS, many neurons are not used
due to competition of neural pathways
Unused neurons become active
32. Shift from short term to long term learning is
reflected in a move along the continuum of
neural modifiability.
33. Neurophysiologic Concepts of
Motor Learning
Short-term learning occurs by altering existing
synapses
↑or ↓release of neurotransmitter affecting the excitatory
postsynaptic potential (EPSP)
34. Neurophysiologic Concepts of
Motor Learning
Long-term learning occurs by the reduction or
formation of new synapses or structural changes
on neurons, e.g.
Habituation: decrease in synapses (C)
Sensitization: increase in synapses (D)
44. Declarative Forms of Learning:
Long-Term Potentiation
LTP requires
simultaneous firing of
both presynaptic and
postsynaptic cells
Postsynaptic neuron must
depolarize when the
Glutamate binds to the
NMDA receptor in order
to open the ion channel
45. LTP conversion of silent synapses to
active synapses
