Sorry I didn't elaborate (and I don't have much time atm but I'll give you a quick explanation). One of the reasons 'swim speed' is used, is because that can actually be an indicator of Alzheimer's like activity.

Hello all, I am currently doing statistical analysis of a knockout vs control mouse strain, investigating a gene that codes a protein that is hypothesized to be involved in learning and memory. To do the test, we ran mice in a morris water maze, which involves placing mice in a little...

As I said in the last response :) You are seeing data from two subjects (1 subject black dots, 1 subject white dots). The graph is the EPSP response vs time. That EPSP response is in voltage. It basically means the strength of the neural field response.

Sorry, by line of points (when you repeat it, it sounds so professional) - I meant the line that you would use to connect all the points of the one subject (or in this case, brain slice). So yes, we are seeing data for two subjects. EPSP = Excitatory Post Synaptic Potential. This can be...

Hi all, I am working with long term potentiation (LTP) induction in hippocampal brain slices. I am wondering about how exactly to statistically analyze the data I am presented with. It looks like http://hmg.oxfordjournals.org/content/19/4/634/F5.small.gif Where each line of points...

" I don't know if anyone will be willing to buy that, given that all the faculty, students, and most researchers may have already access to those major journals (hence get an electronic copy)." Yes I thought the same, but I figured most people don't have the original hard copy. I can't tell...

Hi all - I have a few questions. Well, one, actually. So I have about 10 years (2000-2010) worth of hardcopy Science, Nature, and Nature Medicine journals, each. I was thinking of selling these, but I'm not sure if there is a market for them. I have been checking ebay for a while and I don't...

Doesn't the many worlds interpretation SERIOUSLY violate the first law of thermodynamics though? The only way I think you can get around that is to argue that time doesn't exist (as the common conception) and all possible states ever exist simultaneously.

Excellent, thanks.

Great, thanks for the reply. I'm assuming I'm in error about what I'm about to say but I'd like some clarification on it please... So there is no official relationship between charge and mass. However, there is a relationship between charge and magnetic field. And magnetic fields contain...

In all seriousness though...is this the answer: http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0703036

Thanks for the response, but perhaps I should have rephrased. What I meant to imply with my question, is that I do not understand how a charge can be essentially equal, if masses are different? I always thought charge was related to mass. If that has nothing to do with it, then the assumption...

Sorry if this is a really easy question, but in biology I don't normally deal with these matters, just confused about this. Why is it that the mass of the electron is so much smaller than that of the proton or neutron, but the charge is similar to the proton (but opposite)? I'm assuming it has...
