Adult Neurogenesis Is Sustained by Symmetric Self-Renewal and Differentiation
2018
Somatic stem cells have been identified in multiple adult tissues. Whether self-renewal occurs symmetrically or asymmetrically is key to understanding long-term stem cell maintenance and generation of progeny for cell replacement. In the adult mouse brain, neural stem cells (NSCs) (B1 cells) are retained in the walls of the lateral ventricles (ventricular-subventricular zone [V-SVZ]). The mechanism of B1 cell retention into adulthood for lifelong neurogenesis is unknown. Using multiple clonal labeling techniques, we show that the vast majority of B1 cells divide symmetrically. Whereas 20%-30% symmetrically self-renew and can remain in the niche for several months before generating neurons, …
Problemas multiplicativos relacionados con la división de fracciones : un estudio sobre su enseñanza y aprendizaje
2013
Los estudiantes tienen dificultades para asociar el enunciado de un problema multiplicativo con la operación que permite resolverlo; esta investigación identifica los tipos de problemas multiplicativos que los estudiantes reconocen como de división de fracciones. Mediante el análisis histórico-epistemológico de textos de enseñanza sobre tres épocas históricas y ocho períodos diferentes, se obtiene un listado de variables de enseñanza (algoritmos, sentidos de uso de fracción y de división de fracciones, representaciones, problemas), así como los valores de dichas variables. Se localizan en los textos consultados algunas reglas particulares y seis algoritmos generales, cuyo predominio ha vari…
Conceptualization for intended action: A dynamic model
2023
Concepts are the building blocks of higher-order cognition and consciousness. Building on Conceptual Spaces Theory (CST) and proceeding from the assumption that concepts are inherently dynamic, this paper provides historical context to and significantly elaborates the previously offered Iterative Subdivision Model (ISDM) with the goal of pushing it toward empirical testability. The paper describes how agents in continuous interaction with their environment adopt an intentional orientation, estimate the utility of the concept(s) applicable to action in the current context, engage in practical action, and adopt any new concepts that emerge: a largely pre-intellectual cycle that repeats essent…
