What is an Experiment?

What is an experiment?

Experimenting with color (source)

People use the term 'experiment' to meant a lot of things. One may say "she experimented with drugs" or "she performs experimental music". Someone might 'experiment with ones hair' or 'perform a thought experiment'.

All of these uses of the word experiment have distinct connotations, but most of them essentially mean 'to try something and see what happens'. In the examples above, most of the phrases also imply that the experiment is something new. If she experiments with her hair, she's probably trying some new style and seeing if she likes it. If she performs experimental music, she's probably not following the conventional rules for the music she is playing.

Are these kinds of 'experiments' different from the experiments that scientists do? Well yes and no. The basic definition of an experiment as 'trying something [often new] and seeing what happens' is pretty much what scientists do. So what's different? Why isn't someones 'hair experiment' publishable in a scientific journal?

Mythbusters would have you believe that the only difference between science and screwing around is writing it down:

And that is sort of true.

But what really makes a scientific experiment scientific is controls. In our hair example, you can experiment with your hair by dying it black, and seeing if you like it. But that's not the scientific experiment. To be scientific you would have to decide how to measure how much you like your new hair color. You could do this by filling out a survey each day asking you how many times you thought you were pretty or rating your confidence on a scale of 1-10. You could fill this survey out for a week and then dye your hair and fill the survey out for another week. You could then compare the scores and decide if the new black hair had a 'significant' impact on your self-image.

Lets say it does impact your self image and you report higher self-confidence that second week. But what if you feel different just because you have a new hair color, not because you have black hair?

Well, you would want to do a control experiment, which controls for the newness of the hair color. You could control for novelty by dying your hair yet a different color, and taking the survey for another week. Or you could take the survey two months after you dyed your hair black to see if you still report higher confidence or if your confidence has dropped back down to normal.

This is not a perfect experiment by any means, it's not even a clever or well-designed one, but it is somewhat scientific. And illustrates what I think is the most important difference between experimenting as in trying something new, and experimenting as in trying to find something out:

The control group

In addition, here is a great example of how important the control group is in science. (See the epilogue)

Homeostatic platsicity in a thorny situation

Synapses, the connections between neurons can strengthen and weaken depending on the specific activity at that synapse. This is called synaptic plasticity, and we've talked about it a lot on this blog (here, here, here and here).

the strengthening and weakening of synaptic connections corresponds to the spine growing or shrinking (Matsuzaki 2007)

However, there is another kind of plasticity that can occur at synapses. This is called homeostatic plasticity. And instead of the synapse strengthening or weakening depending on the specific activity at that synapse, the synapses strengthen and weaken in homeostatic plasticity depending on the activity of the whole cell.

To drastically simplify, each cell 'wants' to fire about a certain amount, if it suddenly starts to fire a lot less, it will take steps to strengthen its connections or make itself more 'excitable' so it can get back to its preferred amount of firing. Similarly if the cell starts to fire a lot more than normal, it will take steps to make itself less excitable and to weaken its connections until it reaches the right amount of firing.

Thorny Excrescences from Lee et al., (2013)

A recent paper from the Pak lab explains how in some specific neurons in the hippocampus (CA3 pyramidal cells), the activity of the whole cell is strongly controlled by a some very peculiar synapses. These synapses are close to the cell body, and are on these HUGE weirdly shaped spines (see above) called "Thorny Excrescences". For comparison 'normal' spines look more like this:

Spines from Lee et al. (2013)

The Thorny Excrescences (TEs) are massive spines that contain many separate synapses on them, but connect to the dendrite through 1 neck. 'Normal' spines, on the other hand, usually have 1 synapse at the spine head, and connect to the dendrite through 1 neck.

The size of the TEs, and their proximity to the soma makes them an extremely powerful way to control the signals that the soma receives. Lee et al (2013) shows that when you drastically reduce activity by blocking action potentials (using TTX), you get massive growth of these TEs, but the normal spines further away from the soma stay the same.

They test 3 things to determine whether the TEs have undergone homeostatic plasticity. They look at the morphology (they are bigger), the activity (the electrical signals from them are bigger) and the molecular signatures (the molecules indicative of new synapses are more plentiful). The paper is a really nice complete story showing that these TEs have a lot of control over the general activity of the cell.

It also solves an important problem with homeostatic plasticity. That is, how can the general activity of the cell be modulated without the specific differences between synapses being erased, and consequently the memories or pieces of information they encode? If homeostatic plasticity occurs at spines dedicated to it, then the other spines can still encode specific signals while the activity of the cell as a whole changes.

How To Find A Good Psychotherapist

I'm Blogging for Mental Health.

It's a difficult, yet brave and courageous moment when someone makes the decision to pursue mental health therapy. More difficult than the decision to go to therapy is the decision of who to choose as a therapist.

So, how does someone find a good psychotherapist?

Types of Therapists
First, it is important to think about the type of therapist you think is best for your presenting symptoms and issues. There are many kinds of mental health therapists, but sometimes understanding "who does what" can be confusing. Here is a list to help identify the specialties and degrees therapists can hold.

Psychologists
In the United States, Doctors of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Doctors of Psychology (Psy.D.), or Doctors of Education (Ed.D.) must complete at least four years of post graduate school, however, only those who have been licensed can call themselves Psychologists. Licensed practicing psychologists are specifically trained in the mind and behavior as well as diagnosis, assessment and treatment of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. The treatment provided is "talk therapy". It is important to know that not all psychologists are experienced therapists. Some specialize in areas such as statistical research or industrial psychology, and may have little experience treating people. Therefore, it is important to inquire about the caliber of clinical experiences. Generally speaking, most psychologists do not prescribe medication.

Social Workers
Clinical Social Workers (C.S.W.) usually have earned at least a Masters' Degree, which is two years of graduate school, and some Social Workers obtain a doctoral degree (D.S.W. or Ph.D.). Clinical Social Workers credentials may vary by state, but these are the most common: B.S.W. (Bachelor's of Social Work), M.S.W. (Master's of Social Work), A.C.S.W. (Academy of Certified Social Workers), or D.C.S.W. (Diplomate of Clinical Social Work). Although there are exceptions, most licensed clinical social workers generally have an "L" in front of their degree (L.C.S.W.) communicating that they are a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Clinical Social Workers also receive training in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental, behavioral, and emotional disorders. Their goal is to enhance and maintain physical, psychological, and social functioning in who they treat.

Psychiatrists
A Psychiatrist completes a medical degree (M.D.) like any other physician, followed by a four-year psychiatry specialty. Psychiatrists prescribe medication yet sometimes do psychotherapy with patients. Psychiatrists, unlike Psychologists, have the background and experience to understand how the body and the mind as a whole react when psychiatric medication is given, and have extensively studied the total body including brain biochemistry, tissues, glands, and organs, leading to a fundamental understanding of how these all interact and react to the patient's environment in mental health and mental illness.

Marriage Family Therapists & Professional Counselors
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (L.M.F.T.), and Professional Counselors (L.P.C.) usually have two years of graduate school and have earned at least a Masters' Degree such as: M.A. (Master of Arts), M.S. (Master of Science) or M.Ed. (Master of Education). Marriage and Family Therapists have additional specialized training in the area of family therapy.

Certified Counselors
Certified Counselors are typically trained in drug or alcohol abuse specialties. A Certified Addiction Counselor (C.A.C.) or a Certified Alcohol Counselor, (C.A.C.) may have a I, II, or III added to their degree signifying the level of training in counseling (CAC-I, for example). A C.A.C. Counselor may or may not have a master's degree. Counselors are trained for supportive therapy. C.A.C's work within the field of alcoholism and substance abuse, providing education, consultation, counseling, aftercare, recovery and advocacy.

Religious/Theology/Pastoral Counselors
These are counselors who are clergy, pastors or who have a Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree, or a Doctorate in Theology (Th.D.) from a seminary or rabbinical school, with additional training in therapy. These spiritual counselors are trained in both psychology and theology and thus can address psychological, religious and spiritual issues.

Counseling Nurses
Psychiatric Nurses and Nurse Practitioners comprise a growing segment of mental health treatment professionals. They display the credentials R.N. (Registered Nurse), R.N.P. (Registered Nurse Practitioner) or M.S.N. (Masters of Science in Nursing). A Psychiatric Nurse is a registered nurse with a master's degree who has been trained in individual, group, and/or family psychotherapy. The Psychiatric Nurse and the Nurse Practitioner view individuals from a holistic perspective, taking into account both physical and mental health needs while focusing on human behavior.

From Word of Mouth To Yellow Pages
Now that you know the kind of therapists with which you wish to work, how do you choose one?Here are a few ways that can provide leads to a good therapist.

Word of mouth: Asking a friend or relative that you trust can be a great way of finding a reliable therapist. When a clinician is highly regarded, there is usually a buzz in the community about him or her.

Professional Referrals: Contacting your general physician, or inquiring with school guidance and special service staff if you are looking for someone to work with your child are good ideas. Contacting local psychological, psychiatric or counseling organizations can be very helpful in pointing you in a direction as well.

Online Resources: Many professional organizations and grassroots organizations offer referral resources. There are also mental health websites like Psychology Today's Therapist Directory that can help you narrow down a search.

Insurance Company: If you have an insurance company, another suggestion is to call them directly and ask them to give you a few names of therapists in your area, and ones that specialize in the disorders or issues with which you are experiencing.

Religious Organizations: Many churches and temples have outreach programs where the person in charge can help you find a therapist.

Yellow Pages: Many times I get calls from people who look me up in the Yellow Pages. With nowhere else to turn, people cold-call with the hopes of finding a good therapist. This experience can be frustrating and may lead you down a bumpy road of contacting therapists who do not specialize in what you need. If possible, try one of the other strategies listed above to help you find a good therapist.

The Initial Phone Call
Once you have a few names, find the time to call each one and talk on the phone with him or her. You can get a great feel for a professional during this informal chat. If you make a connection on the phone, arrange for an appointment to consult with the therapist. I call this "the meet and greet" consult where I get to meet the potential patient, assess the symptoms and issues and make sure that my training and expertise are appropriate for the necessary treatment. This is a time where the potential patient gets to know me as well, how I will work and also learns about my approach to treatment and the parameters of therapy. Though comfort and connection are necessary factors, so too are making sure that the therapist of your choice is educated, seasoned and a specialist in what you are seeking.

Questions to Ask: Most therapists will welcome the opportunity to answer any questions that you may have. Here are some of the most important ones to consider:

1. What is your professional training and degree?

2. How much specialized training and experience have you had with what I am seeking help for?

3. What theoretical school of thought do you follow?

4. How long are the sessions?

5. What is the cost of each session?

5. How does insurance work with mental health therapy?

6. What is your policy on cancelled appointments?

7. Have you been in therapy yourself? If so, how long?

8. Is it possible to reach you after hours in the event of an emergency or crisis? If so, how?

9. Do you receive regular supervision on your cases or belong to a peer supervision group?

10. What professional organizations do you belong to?

Good Therapy
Once these bases are all covered, and you settle into treatment, you should slowly begin to feel an expansion within yourself. Your awareness will widen, your feelings may swell, and you may find yourself thinking in new ways about your situations and life experiences.

Therapy may be tough on occasions, but in time, you should start learning techniques to help change, shift or remedy symptoms. That's how the arc of good therapy progresses. Last, but not least, always, ALWAYS, be sure that the professional you choose to work with is a licensed mental health practitioner.

The Inadvertent Psychological Experiment

Escape from Camp 14 is deeply disturbing, and I highly recommend it.

Escape from Camp 14 by Blaine Harden

Escape from Camp 14 is a chilling tale of Shin Dong-hyuk's escape from a North Korean prison camp. What is so interesting about Shin Dong-hyuk's story as written by Blaine Harden is that he was born inside this North Korean prison camp. Apparently they allow breeding between prisoners as a reward for 'good behavior.'

Escape from Camp 14 reveals the obscene violations of human rights that occur in North Korean prison camps, and was especially poignant because I am a similar age to Shin Dong-hyuk and could directly compare my memories during the specified years to his. For example he escapes on January 2nd, 2005 and I couldn't help but think of the New Years party I was at that year and how absurdly different my life has been from his.

This book struck me in a way that reading about the horrors of the Holocaust never could. Those atrocities happened long before I was born. But the atrocities in North Korea are happening right now. I mean right this minute in a prison camp, a child is likely being beaten, a woman is likely being raped by a guard (later to be killed if she happens to become pregnant), someone may be picking undigested corn kernels from cow dung to ease hir starving belly, and maybe two lucky prisoners are getting to have 'reward breeding' time. Right now. This minute. That is just nuts.

The other thing that struck me about this whole situation is that having children born into a hostile prison environment is an inadvertent psychological experiment. These children are raised without love and without trust. One of the sharpest points in the book is the reveal that Shin Dong-hyuk turned his own mother and brother in to the guards for planning an escape. He watched his mother's execution shortly thereafter and felt nothing but anger at her for planning an escape.

When he finally escaped, it was shocking to him to see people talking and laughing together without guards coming over to (violently) stop it. In Camp 14, gathering of more than 2 people was forbidden. These prison children are being raised on fear of the guards and suspicion of each other. One of the easiest ways to be rewarded is to tattle on another prisoner for something (stealing food, for example), and the children learn this quickly.

If something drastic happens and North Korea dissolves, these children raised in prison camps will have a near impossible time trying to adjust to a life of freedom and will have a difficult time forming attachments and trusting others (as seen in Shin Dong-hyuk and other refugees from North Korea). Their personalities and psychological profiles could be fundamentally different from any other group on earth. These atrocities should be stopped and these people should be studied and rehabilitated.

Ways to Detect Signs of Depression

How do you know you are depressed? It seems like a weird question as this is something you would be first to detect. But you'd be surprised that quite a large number fails to spot the signs of depression.

The real reason is that mostly people, especially men, consider sadness, feeling low or depressed as a sign of weakness and hence do not want to talk about it.

They treat it as a stigma and are afraid that their close ones may blame them for not being string enough or coping up with life like everyone around is doing. Hence they often feel lost and indulge in self-blame, a habit or state of mind that disables you mentally. Over time when they can't find a solution or a shoulder for comfort, they develop suicidal thoughts as an answer for their feeling of worthlessness. This includes visibly becoming a recluse, irrational anger, constant fatigue, persistent aches and pains and insomnia.

But the signs of depression are not straightforward problems like dealing with something as direct as a fractured bone. Diagnosis is made after a collective of symptoms, like almost half a dozen or more on the list which has been continuing for over two weeks.

Some of these signals are as follows:

Changes in weight: Lack of appetite will lead to weight loss or it could be the opposite as well. That you just can't stop eating all the time to fill up that emotional void.

Sleep issues: Your sleep goes for a toss where you either over sleep or under sleep. You could suddenly end up sleeping for long hours or end up staying awake the whole night. Either way your schedule goes for a toss.

Aches: People do not associate physical symptoms as signs of depression. Constant colds and flu, acidity, a weak immune system, chronic conditions like arthritis, body aches and pains, headaches, cramps or even nausea are often treated singularly and not viewed as a complete whole.

Loss of energy: You get tired easily; fatigue occurs frequently, keep sitting down or move around at a lethargic pace. This is noticeable especially if you are otherwise very active.

Reckless behaviour: This is escapist behaviour of doing things you would never attempt under a normal frame of mind. This includes gambling, participating in dangerous sports or even reckless driving.

Anger: Prolonged depression can lead to intense frustration resulting in you blowing up for the smallest issues ever. Anger is considered as a sign of buried depression and affects not just your health but is also a hindrance when it comes to your dealings with society.

Alcoholism: This is one of the major signs of depression as around 40 percent of depressed individuals struggle with alcohol and drug use leading to liver damage.

Concentration issues: Finding yourself taking way longer than usual at a simple task as you are struggling to stop being distracted by haunting memories or figuring out solutions to a problem at hand, is another factor. If your mind feels numb and helpless for more than two weeks, do not hesitate to ask for professional help.

Problems with work: Concentration issues, giving up easily under stress, sudden inability to multi-task, finding it extremely difficult to get out of bed leading to staying absent most of the times are symptoms of a depressed individual.

Lack of sex drive and interest in daily entertainment: Avoiding sex for a total lack of desire for it over a long period is also a signal that everything is not right. In fact seeing your partner being unhappy at this change of attitude can lead to self-loathing and insecurity. You might also be moody about things you used to enjoy like a walk in the park, meeting your friends every weekend, or continuing a hobby.

Feeling suicidal: This is the major and the most glaring signal that should not be overlooked and psychiatric treatment should be administered immediately. So if you find someone continuously talking about suicide and questioning why he is still alive, things would be better if he want living, sort of given up on fighting to solve an issue that was weighing him down, saying goodbyes and visiting people and sudden preoccupation with death are some of the signs that need urgent attention to tackle this cry for help.

Once you realized you are depressed, start making efforts to break away from that comfortable cocoon of hopelessness you have built for yourself. It's very easy to stay low but extremely tough to stand up and fight. Start with sticking to daily routines, indulging in exercise or going for a break during work hours and making random calls to friends to distract your mind among other things.

The article is particularly written for signs of depression. For more information just go through on signs of depression

Everyone should learn everything.

Today I am getting on a bit of a soapbox about things. Specifically about things scientists should learn.

Scientists should learn everything (source)

In an ideal world everyone would be good at everything, but as you have probably noticed this is NOT the case. Some people are good at lots of things and some people are really good at specific things, but terrible at others, and some unfortunate people are generally bad at a lot of things and mediocre at a few.

Recently, I've been hearing increasing noise for scientists (or scientists-in-training) to learn X, Whatever X is. 'Scientists should learn art"; "Scientists should learn creative writing"; "Scientists should learn how to communicate to the public more clearly" ; "Scientists should learn managerial skills" and so forth.

This bothers me for a couple of reasons.

1. Why should the scientists learn all this stuff? Why aren't people clamoring for artists to learn microbiology, or for novelists to brush up on their molecular genetics?

and

2. What is wrong with some people being good at science and NOT being good at much else?

Yes, if waving a magic wand could suddenly make scientists good communicators, artists, and managers, I wouldn't object. But these things (like science itself) take training. And god knows, graduate students already get a lot of training.

And yes, running a lab takes managerial skills and grant writing requires clear communication and story-telling skills. But instead of requiring one person to be good at all these things, why not divide up the labor a little and have a 'lab manager' help run the lab, and a 'departmental grants guru' to help polish the grants.

It is really easy to say 'scientists should learn X' because...

1. there is a perception that scientists are smart and can learn things easily

and

2. it is always impossible to argue that things wouldn't be better if scientists were good at X. (Wouldn't it be great if all scientists were excellent public speakers? yes of course.)

The problem is implementing the extensive training in X that a scientist should have, and what current training to replace. Therefore I propose that the 'scientists should learn X' statements should all be adjusted to say 'scientists should get extensive training in X rather than Y'.

Some Incredibly Strange Brain Disorders

Introduction:

You're used to counting on the brain. Whatever else happens, your individual group of grayish issue will take on the globe, and reply to it in a liquid and foreseeable way. But actually, whatever the brain does is created up of many subsequent psychological actions - and if just one of those actions isn't able, you'll find yourself acting very in a different way. Astasia-Abasia Sufferers Are Always On the Brink of Dropping, Anosognia Sufferers Are Incapable to Identify Their Own Accidents, Broca's Aphasia Sufferers Are Able to Do Everything But Discuss, Palinopsia Sufferers Basically Cannot Hidden Things, Dysmimia or Amimia Sufferers Don't Know if You Give Them the Handy, Dysantigraphia Sufferers Can't Probably Duplicate Their The next door neighbors Document, Amelodia Sufferers Can Never Name That Track, Anhedonia Sufferers Can't Take Satisfaction in Anything and Vocabulary aphasia Sufferers Are Make shift Gertrude Steins.

Main idea:

Astasia-Abasia is also known as Blocq's Condition, after John Blocq, the France physician who first described it. It's the lack of ability to take a position or stroll effectively, but there's more to it. At first, a individual with this situation seems to be very intoxicated. Sufferers dark when they try to take a position or stroll. Sufferers seem risky to themselves. They overbalance excessively, always capturing themselves at the last time. But that's the situation - they always capture themselves. Individuals with Blocq's Condition almost never harm themselves. They only drop when a physician, a family member, or a smooth place on the floor is available. Often this situation is in reaction to pressure. The most popular situation of this occurred in the Sixties, when not one but two cadets at Western Factor came down with the situation, physicians believe as a reaction to the pressure of exercising at the famous university. Anosognia occurs together with other traumas - usually swings and loss of sight. Individuals who have missing the capability to management one 50 percent of their system will say that they just don't want to shift that aspect of their system. They'll say that that 50 percent of one's human is really operating normally, after all. When physicians display that it isn't operating, they'll say that the areas of the system that the physicians are directing to are part of someone else, or even that they have three arms, arms, or feet, and are going the ones that the physicians don't see. There was even a situation of a lady who had gone almost absolutely sightless but was adamant that she could see normally - cobbling together a 'vision' of what was occurring around her from glimpses on the unharmed areas of her sight, from reminiscences, and from any seems to be that she could listen to around her.

Patients with Broca's Aphasia are able to create, to study, to pay attention and understand people, and are able to speak - but not able to type many consistent terms. The situation is caused by an damage to Broca's place, the individual's capability to management what their lips are saying goes away. Some individuals are able to handle about four terms, but most reduce their capability to say what they want. Sometimes, they even will not be able to know that they aren't saying what they mean to say. One of the most popular situations of this was a man who basically recurring "Tono tone tono tono tono," to every query requested him. Although he could understand everything, he couldn't make his mouth area say the terms he required to reply. Palinopsia is not actually a healthcare problem. It's just the after-image that a lot of people after they look away from shiny things. Sometimes, though, it continues a little a lengthy time. A seventy-three-year-old lady joined a Celebration the day after a very bad frustration and observed that, after she checked out a Santa Claus who was operating at the party, she saw a Santa Claus facial beard on everybody's experience for the relax of the party. Times later she still saw people red Santa Claus caps and red Santa Claus overcoats strolling around the roads. Another lady saw areas of her spouse's experience superimposed on everything, or halo of mild from a screen dropping out the right aspect of individuals leads. No one is sure what causes palinopsia, but treatment adverse reactions or patches on the mind are the most likely applicants.

Conclusion:

Dismimia is a strangely particular little situation. There's no way of knowing exactly what causes it, but it prevents the victim from knowing side actions or side alerts. Typical actions for 'wait,' 'stop,' or 'sit and whirl,' are instantly incomprehensive. These actions are missing even if the affected individual formerly realized their significance. This problem was first seen in a Vietnam expert who confirmed exactly what happens when you don't regularly censor yourself at your job: You get taken. You get taken over and over until such time as someone delivers you to a physician. This particular situation was steered towards mindset - rather than an manners guide - because the knight had been taken in the go decades before. The right front side aspect of the mind has something in it that allows individuals consider their terms and silently keep the culturally unhelpful ones within. Other injuries to this place of the mind have triggered identical reactions.

a STORM inside a cell

We've been talking about some of the most cutting edge intracellular visualization techniques lately. Array tomography and Serial block-face electron microscopy have been featured. Today we'll talk about STORM imaging.

STORM imaging (Xu et al., 2013)

STORM stands for Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy. While Array tomography and Serial block-face EM are both revolutionary in that they can combine very high resolution imaging with relatively large volumes of tissue, STORM is an advancement that lets you see tiny tiny little molecules within the cell.

The problem with 'normal' imaging is that molecules are smaller than the diffraction of light.

Example of the STORM resolution (from Zhuang lab's webpage)

In the figure above, imaging some tiny molecules next to each other is impossible with traditional fluorescence microscopy, but with STORM, you can resolve 10s of nanometers (nm).

To do this, STORM uses photoswitchable dyes, which means that the dye can be turned on or off. This allows researchers to turn on tiny little areas and then turn them off. If all the dye is turned on all at once, the image will look like a big mess because the signals will all overlap each other. But turning on only a few at a time allows you to estimate where the actual protein or molecule is.

"The imaging process consists of many cycles during which fluorophores are activated, imaged, and deactivated. In each cycle only a subset of the fluorescent labels are switched on, such that each of the active fluorophores is optically resolvable from the rest. This allows the position of these fluorophores to be determined with nanometer precision." -Zhuang lab webpage

So what amazing things can they do with this STORM?
A recent paper by Xu et al. (2013) found that the actin which plays a huge role in the intracellular structure of a neuron, has a specific ring-like structure along the axons.

Xu et al., 2013 Figure 4F

This is the kind of research that will immediately go into neuroscience and cell biology textbooks. Xu et al. discovered how actin was structured along the axon simply by being able to 'see it'.

Not only did they discover the structure of actin and spectrin (magenta above) in the axon, but they also found some other interesting molecular patterns that appear to relate to the actin ring structure. The sodium channels, which control action potential propagation down the axon, are concentrated about half way between the ends of the spectrin tetramers. The potential for super-resolution microscopy like STORM is huge. The location of molecules with relation to one another probably plays a huge role in the function of cells and now we have the tools to map them.

The 3 Stages of Atlas Spinal Care

Several individuals have been testifying how chiropractors can aid them to feel much better after experiencing severe back pain or migraine. Of course, people who gain lots of benefit from this method can only testify how it can greatly help them in dealing with pain. With this proven experience, they will surely recommend you to also seek for a chiropractor to make you feel better as well.

The truth that the aim of chiropractic care is to eliminate any nerve meddling found, and allow your body to set off the inner healing power that already been there in your nervous system. Correcting spinal column also helps natural treatment, strengthens the function of your body and its vitality. For this basis, you will persist to hear of many various difficulties that individuals said that chiropractors have aided them.

Since the spinal column is important, it is much better if you know the three stages of Atlas spinal care that you can opt from. Here are the three stages of spinal care that you can pick depending on what you need.

First is the relief care. If a pain or visible indication has encouraged you to start this alternative method, the preliminary thing that you desire is to ease the pain and feel better. Of course, clinic visits will be often and the purpose of your corrections is to lessen the increase of injury, which will provide assistance. Moreover, depending on your lifestyle, age and health condition, your visit over weeks or even months may be required to lessen or get rid of your indications and aid remove subluxations that are there without indications.

Second, you can also find corrective care. Muscles and sometimes damage in the organ stay after original indications develop. Reconstructive care evens out the spinal column and aids correct treatment through your nervous system. Normally, individuals stat to have a better function in areas with difficulties in which they thought were not related to Atlas spinal care and chiropractic care. Normal alterations lessen blood pressure, have a better sleep and boost energy.

Last is the wellness care. When utmost development is reached, cyclic checkups in your chiropractor are needed. These visits can distinguish and aid correct new health issues before they become severe or painful. Health conscious individuals select this type of Atlas spinal care not only for their health, but also for their children as well. Like many other well-known procedures, this method can greatly help you to eliminate pain and other issues relating to your spine.
