The key may be to arrange optical elements in the same way as neurons are arranged in the brain
Thus, ecRNAs are one of the first potential mechanisms for activity - and experience - dependent alterations of DNA methylation status at specific
genes in brain neurons.
Previous work by one of the paper's authors, Charles Stevens, a professor in Salk's Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory, found the same three mathematical properties at
work in brain neurons.
Restocking depleted muscle glycogen, optimizing immune function, and replenishing the sodium - potassium
pumps in your brain neurons and exercised muscles all require significant energy expenditure.
