Epilepsy and driving regulations in Wisconsin.

Epilepsia

Marshfield Clinic, Wisconsin 54449.

Published: August 1994

Driving regulations in the state of Wisconsin have evolved. In 1987, changes in these regulations focused the problem on loss of consciousness and bodily control of drivers rather than on specific diagnostic entities such as epilepsy or diabetes mellitus. Current Wisconsin law encompasses loss of consciousness or events affecting bodily control, no matter what the cause. Current regulations balance individual needs with the needs of safety for society. Neurologists are encouraged to become involved to keep the process of regulation current with the dynamic changes in medical care and in transportation technology (e.g., air bags, roll bars, etc.).

Robots have to adjust their motor behavior to changing environments and variable task requirements to successfully operate in the real world and physically interact with humans. Thus, robotics strives to enable a broad spectrum of adjustable motor behavior, aiming to mimic the human ability to function in unstructured scenarios. In humans, motor behavior arises from the integrative action of the central nervous system and body biomechanics; motion must be understood from a neuromechanics perspective.

Roles for the canonical polarity machinery in the establishment of polarity in budding yeast spores.

The yeast buds at sites pre-determined by cortical landmarks deposited during prior budding. During mating between haploid cells in the lab, external pheromone cues override the cortical landmarks to drive polarization and cell fusion. By contrast, in haploid gametes (called spores) produced by meiosis, a pre-determined polarity site drives initial polarized morphogenesis independent of mating partner location.

Collagen Alpha 1(XI) Amino-Terminal Domain Modulates Type I Collagen Fibril Assembly.

Biochemistry

Biomolecular Research Institute, Boise State University, 1910 University Drive, Boise, Idaho 83725, United States.

The amino-terminal domain of collagen α1(XI) plays a key role in controlling fibrillogenesis. However, the specific mechanisms through which various isoforms of collagen α1(XI) regulate this process are not fully understood. We measured the kinetics of collagen type I self-assembly in the presence of specific collagen α1(XI) isoforms.

Carotenoids are a diverse group of pigments imparting red, orange, and yellow hues to many horticultural plants, also enhancing their nutritional properties and health benefits. In strawberry, the genetic and molecular mechanisms regulating the natural variation of fruit carotenoid composition remain largely unexplored. In this study, we use a population segregating in yellow/white flesh to detect a major quantitative trait locus (QTL), qYellow Flesh-4B, located on chromosome 4B and accounting for 82% of total phenotypic variation.

Mood variation under dual regulation of circadian clock and light.

The intricate relationship between circadian rhythms and mood is well-established. Disturbances in circadian rhythms and sleep often precede the development of mood disorders, such as major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder (BD), and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Two primary factors, intrinsic circadian clocks and light, drive the natural fluctuations in mood throughout the day, mirroring the patterns of sleepiness and wakefulness.
