ACTIVITY-DEPENDENT DISRUPTION OF INTERSUBLAMINAR SPACES AND ABAKAN EXPRESSION DOES NOT IMPACT FUNCTIONAL ON AND OFF ORGANIZATION IN THE FERRET RETINOGENICULATE SYSTEM

Activity-dependent disruption of intersublaminar spaces and ABAKAN expression does not impact functional on and off organization in the ferret retinogeniculate system

Abstract In the adult visual Bar Soap system, functionally distinct retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) within each eye project to discrete targets in the brain.In the ferret, RGCs encoding light increments or decrements project to independent On and Off sublaminae within each eye-specific layer of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN).Here we rep

Dynamics of Activation and Regulation of the Immune Response to Attack by Viral Pathogens Using Mathematical Modeling

In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to simulate the activation of regulatory T lymphocytes dynamics.The model considers the adaptive immune response and consists of epithelial cells, infected cells, free virus particles, helper and cytotoxic T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, and regulatory T lymphocytes.A mathematical analysis was carried
