neuroanatomyblog: Com­plete struc­ture of a nerve Endoneurium wraps a sin­gle axon includ­ing the myelin sheath. Fas­ci­cle is a small bun­dle of nerve fibers/axons. Per­ineurium wraps a fas­ci­cle. (peri means around) Epineurium wraps a bunch of fas­ci­cles. (epi = upon/top) Hint: This group­ing struc­ture is anal­o­gous to the mus­cu­lar orga­ni­za­tion sys­tem of epimy­sium, per­imy­sium and endomysium.

New Model Synapse Could Shed Light on Disorders Such as Epilepsy and Anxiety A new way to study the role of a critical neurotransmitter in disorders such as epilepsy, anxiety, insomnia, depression, schizophrenia, and alcohol addiction has been developed by a group of scientists led by Gong Chen, an associate professor of biology at Penn State University. The new method involves molecularly engineering a model synapse — a structure through which a nerve cell send signals to another cell. This model synapse can precisely control a variety of receptors for the neurotransmitter called GABA, which is important in brain chemistry. The research, which will be published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry on 10 August 2012, opens the door to the possibility of creating safer and more-efficient drugs that target GABA receptors and that cause fewer side effects.

This plant is called “makahiya”; in Tagalog, ‘hiya’ means shy. Upon being touched, this plant’s leaves immediately fold up together as if the plant is shy (hence its name).

everytime i see “linsanity” i think it’s a spelling error

Bio was so perfect today
Mr. Dang: I think I laugh the most during this period.
Franco: Wait, Mr. Dang, do you want to adopt me?
Mr. Dang: What?!
Franco: Do you want to adopt me? We could do family things together. It would be so much fun!
and Mr. Dang brought in doughnuts because we're learning about digestion. BEST DAY EVER.
