    Could you do one about stutters? Haven't come across much info about the neuroscience behind them and it would be interesting to know more.

    • @neurotransmissions
      @neurotransmissions  8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Great idea! We'll have to do some research and see if there's any research on it so far. The only thing I can recall reading about the "science" of stutters is from a terrible study done in the 1930's, where a psychologist tried to find out if negative reinforcement could induce stutters in children who didn't have them. It turns out that it can't - but it does make kids super self-conscious and seriously damages their self-esteem. The "study" was so unethical that it's since been dubbed the "Monster Study" because of how awful it was!

My current thesis project has a huge role played by astrocytes and I would love to reach out to the team and learn more on the ways by which these curious cells interact and alter the fates of other brain cells. DO let me know how/where I can contact you guys. Cheers!

    Have you heard of STDP?
    AFAIK it doesn't model astrocytes yet.
    Maybe computation of neural networks could be made more efficient if it included the biophysical action of astrocytes.

    • @neurotransmissions
      @neurotransmissions  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, that's definitely something that researchers are starting to think about! It's a lot easier to design models that don't account for astrocytes...but now that we've found out about how much they do, it's becoming clear that they should be accounted for!

    Great video. I am however continously amazed at the jargon, semantics, and overall stubbornness of science that makes it difficult and confusing to students or novel scientists, especially in biological science. I'm guessing scientists once made a claim that astrocytes do no not communicate with electrical signals, as was stated in this video. But, the fact remains that they do! Even this video acknowledges that they do through calcium waves. Calcium waves are every bit as much an electrical signal as any other traveling down the axons of neurons, because it is the traveling of signal via a propagation of charged particles, initiated and continued as a result of fluctuating polarization. In otherwords, a calcium wave is still the traveling of charge, that is electric current. Therefore, It's still 100% an electrical signal.

    What are astrocytes comprised aka "made" up of in terms of their atomic cellular structure.
    Are they more carbon, or hydrogen, or nitrogen structures etc?

      Hey there! It sort of depends on what you are most interested in knowing more about. I'm (Alie) biased, but anything coming out of the Barres lab is pretty solid. I also just wrote a review with a colleague that highlights the roles of astrocytes at the synapse and how astrocyte dysfunction has been implicated in a lot of different diseases and disorders. It's behind a paywall, but you can shoot us an email at alie.astrocyte(at)gmail(dot)com if you'd like to check it out!
