...like the determination of pitch when members of an orchestra tune their instruments," says Kleinfeld. "In the case of an orchestra, a fundamental 'C' note is extracted from a mixture of fundamental and harmonics produced by a bassoon. In the case of the vibrissa system, this fundamental frequency may serve to ...Benefits from Alzheimer's plaque-producing reaction? Science study proposes role in gene expression

We've shown that the APP tail can provide the hookup to the many other proteins needed for transcription," Sdhof said. One of the next important questions is which gene might be the APP tail's actual target. I...The enemy of my enemy is my friend
