Z_5_21 — Mobile Genetic Elements: Transposons, Retrotransposons, and Genomic Plasticity

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) — DNA sequences capable of moving within and between genomes — constitute a staggering ~45% of the human genome, far exceeding the ~1.5% that encodes proteins. Discovered by Barbara McClint

K_2_18 — Meditation Neurophysiology

Neuroimaging studies of meditation have produced a convergent picture: focused attention practices increase prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortex activity, open monitoring practices decrease default mode network (DMN)

K_2_22 — Voltage-Gated Ion Channels and Neural Excitability

Voltage-gated ion channels are transmembrane proteins whose conformation depends on membrane potential, opening a selective pore for Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, or Cl⁻ when voltage thresholds are crossed. They are the molecular engin

K_2_13 — Attention Networks: Dorsal, Ventral, and Salience Systems

Attention — the selective allocation of processing resources to particular stimuli, locations, or tasks — is among the most studied phenomena in cognitive neuroscience and is intimately linked to consciousness: what we a
