Answer:

The correct answer is: Brain-derived Neurotrophic factor.

Explanation:

The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (commonly abbreviated to BDNF) is a protein from a family related to the growth of nerves that also works as a neurotransmitter.

In the brain, the BDNF is active in areas like the <u>basal forebrain, the cortex, and the hippocampus</u>, where learning, memory, and higher thinking take place.

BDNF plays a<u> key role in the survival of neurons and the process of synaptogenesis</u>, which is why the decrease of this protein is linked to several neuropsychiatric conditions like depression and schizophrenia.

Mama L [17]
We can use this formula to solve for acceleration of the table
F = ma
We are given with the force and the mass, so
6 N = 6 kg a
a = 1 m/s2

The change in velocity can be solve using this formula
FΔt = mΔv
6N (2s) = (6 kg) (Δv)
Δv = 2 m/s

Compare and contrast the contributions of Neel, Pauling, and Ingram to our understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of s
taurus [48]

He demonstrated that SCD and sickle cell trait were due to the presence of abnormal 8-globin polypeptides in red blood cells. He demonstrated that the electrophhoretic mobility of B-globin from patients with SCD was different from that of healthy individuals. He demonstrated that both parents of multiple patients with SCD had low levels of sickled red blood cells. He hypothesized that SCD was a recessive trait and that the parents of patients with SCD would be heterozygous carriers. He demonstrated that the difference between B-globin polypeptides in individuals who were healthy and those with SCD is an amino acid substitution. He performed a peptide fingerprint analysis on B-globin from individuals with 84 84 and 89 88, which identified the segment of B-globin that was changed by the BS mutation.
