Deep lesioning

Insertion of a thin insulated wire into the brain through which an electrical current is sent that destroys the brain cells at the tip of the wire is called deep lesioning.

Deep lesioning is a surgical procedure in which a small specific area of the brain is destroyed in order to provide treatment for certain disorders. Deep lesioning are used in the treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, dystonia and essential tremor. Several methods such as radiofrequency lesion, radiosurgery and focused ultrasound therapy are  used to cause deep lesion.

svet-max [94.6K]

The answer is; E


With environmental changes, the carrying capacity can either increase or decrease. It is important to note that the carrying capacity is the number of individuals of a species that a habitat can sustain indefinitely.  With favorable environmental conditions, the carrying capacity increases while unfavorable environmental conditions decrease the carrying capacity.

When the protein gramicidin is integrated into a membrane, an H+ channel forms and the membrane becomes very permeable to proton
jeka57 [31]

Answer with Explanation:

Gramicidine is an antibiotic that has a polypeptide structure and is composed of 3 chains. This molecule can adopt a structure called beta 6-3 helix, so as to form a channel through the cell membrane of bacteria which allows the passage of ions (in this case cations) such as H +, K + or Na +, this situation leads to that in the cell alterations in the content of cellular cations are generated, among the effects the loss of potassium that can cause the death of the cell due to hemolysis due to alteration in the permeability of the membrane is highlighted. This effect is known as the ionophore effect.

An ionophore effect leads to the inhibition in the release of H + to the mitochondrial electronic transport chain.

Gramicidin thanks to its mechanism of action, when it produces interference specifically in a cellular organelle called mitochondria in the inner mitochondrial membrane, it is responsible for interrupting the passage of electrons, alters the gradient of H + and the performance of the enzyme called ATP- synthase which is responsible for producing ATP.

The damage that the entire previous situation produces on oxidative phosphorylation, leads to the refusal of ADP refosphorylation, then ADP and its hydrolysis products will accumulate, and finally the result will be a decrease in ATP levels.
