Neurotransmitters transmit signals between neurons through synapses. The four main criteria for identifying neurotransmitters are that they must be synthesized in neurons, released during neuronal activation, produce a response in target cells, and be removed from synapses. Major neurotransmitters include amino acids (glutamate, GABA), monoamines (dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin), peptides, and acetylcholine. Neurotransmitters are packaged into vesicles and released into the synaptic cleft through exocytosis. They then bind to receptors on the target cell and are inactivated through reuptake or enzymatic breakdown.

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.

The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

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.
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.
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.
Monitor common gases, weather parameters, particulates.

Neurotransmitters
1.
2. Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that
transmit signals across a synapse from one neuron (nerve
cell)to another 'target' neuron.
Synapses are the junctions where neurons release a
chemical neurotransmitter that acts on a postsynaptic
target cell, which can be another neuron or a muscle or
gland cell
Neuromodulators are chemicals released by neurons
have little or no direct effects on their own but can modify
the effects of neurotransmitters.
3. Until the early 20th century, scientists
assumed that the majority of synaptic
communication in the brain was electrical.
The histological examinations by Ramón y
Cajal (1852–1934), a 20 to 40nm gap
between neurons, known today as the
synaptic cleft, was discovered. The
presence of such a gap suggested
communication via chemical messengers
traversing the synaptic cleft.
In 1921 German pharmacologist Otto
Loewi (1873–1961) confirmed that neurons
can communicate by releasing chemicals.

4. There are four main criteria for identifying
neurotransmitters:
1. The chemical must be synthesized in the neuron or
otherwise be present in it.
2. When the neuron is active, the chemical must be released
and produce a response in some target.
3. The same response must be obtained when the chemical is
experimentally placed on the target.
4. A mechanism must exist for removing the chemical from
its site of activation after its work is done.
IDENTIFICATION
6. Reuptake
• From the synaptic cleft back into the cytoplasm of the
neuron
The reuptake systems employ two families of
transporter proteins:
They include transporters for Norepinephrine,
dopamine, serotonin, GABA, and glycine, as well as
transporters for proline, taurine, and the acetylcholine
precursor choline. In addition, there may be an
epinephrine transporter.
The other family is made up of at least three
transporters that mediate glutamate uptake by
neurons and two that transport glutamate into
astrocytes.
7. VMAT1 & VMAT2:
Both have a broad specificity, moving
dopamine, Norepinephrine,
epinephrine, serotonin, and
histamine from the cytoplasm into
secretory granules.
• There is also a vesicular GABA
transporter (VGAT) that moves GABA
and glycine into vesicles and a
vesicular acetylcholine transporter.
8. 2-acetoxy-N,N,Ntrimethylethanaminium
Struct
ure:
Acetylcholine was the first neurotransmitter to be discovered.
Isolated in 1921 by a German biologist named Otto Laewi.
Precursor: choline
Acts on: nicotinic receptors and muscarnic receptors
Inactivated by acetyl choline esterase enzyme or reuptake by
vesicular acetyl choline transferase (VAchT)
14. Precursor : Tyrosine (amino acid)
Synthesis site : Adrenal medulla
Acts on alpha (α) and beta (β)
adrenergic receptors
Inactivation is done by MAO and by
catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT)
15. α & β Receptors
• Epinephrine and Norepinephrine both act
on α and β receptors, with
norepinephrine having a greater affinity
for α-adrenergic receptors and
epinephrine for β-adrenergic receptors.
16.
17. Synthesized from the amino acid tyrosine.
Generally involved in regulatory motor activity, in
mood, motivation and attention.
Functions :
1. Induction of vomiting
2. Inhibition of prolactin secretion
3. Stimulation of GnRH
4. Schizophrenia
5. Control of movements(parkinsonism)
Schizophrenics have too much dopamine.
Patients with Parkinson's Disease have too little
18. Five different dopamine receptors (D1, D2,
D3, D4, D5) are known and exist in multiple
forms.
Most, but perhaps not all, of the responses
to these receptors are mediated by
heterotrimeric G proteins.
Overstimulation of D2 receptors is thought to
be related to schizophrenia.
D3 receptors are highly localized, especially
to the nucleus accumbens
Dopamine Receptors
19. Serotonin
Also known as 5-hydroxy tryptamine
Precursor : Tryptophan
It is found within the brain stem in the
midline Raphé nuclei,
It is present in highest concentration in
blood platelets and in the gastrointestinal
tract
It is inactivated by the action of the MAO
which converts it into
5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid
20.
21. Serotonergic Receptors
• 5-HT1 - 5-HT7 receptors
• Most of these are G protein-coupled receptors
• 5-HT1 => 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, 5-HT1E, & 5-HT1F
• 5-HT2 => 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, & 5-HT2C
• 5-HT2A -platelet aggregation and smooth muscle
contraction.
• 5-HT3 -ligand-gated ion channels present in the GIT
are related to vomiting.
• 5-HT4 -in the GIT, where they facilitate secretion
and peristalsis.
• 5-HT5 => 5-HT5A & 5-HT5B
• 5-HT6 & 5-HT7-distributed throughout the limbic
system
22. (γ-amino butyric acid)
Major inhibitory mediator in the brain, including being
responsible for presynaptic inhibition.
Precursor : glutamate
Reuptake by vesicular GABA transferase
Metabolized primarily by transamination to succinic
semialdehyde
GABA transaminase (GABA-T) catalyzes the
transamination.
23. Three subtypes of GABA receptors have been
identified: GABAA, GABAB, and GABAC
The GABAA and GABAC receptors are ion
channels made up of five subunits surrounding a
pore . In this case, the ion is Cl– .
The GABAB receptors are metabotropic
,coupled to heterotrimeric G proteins that
increase conductance in K+ channels, inhibit
adenylyl cyclase, and inhibit Ca2+ influx.
GABA Receptors
24.
25. Peptides that bind to opioid receptors are
called opioid peptides.
The ENKEPHALINS are found in nerve endings
in the gastrointestinal tract and many different
parts of the brain, and they appear to function
as synaptic transmitters.
They have analgesic activity when injected
into the brain stem.
They also decrease intestinal motility.
26. RECEPTORS
µ , κ , δ
All three are G protein-coupled
receptors, and all inhibit adenylyl cyclase.
Activation of µ receptors increases K+
conductance, hyperpolarizing central
neurons and primary afferents.
Activation of κ and δ receptors closes
Ca2+ channels.
