For decades, people thought physical exercise benefited only the body. But every year we learn how incorrect that was, and Dr. David Merrill, director of PNI's brain health center, is one of the people pushing our knowledge forward. It turns out that exercise builds the brain by prompting the production of brain derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF. “Trophic” compounds cause things to grow, and BDNF helps create new connections among neurons, which is how we learn. In short, BDNF is fertilizer for the brain, Dr. Merrill says. In a perfect world, we would be able to take BDNF in a pill, like a vitamin. But it's a big, clunky molecule that doesn't pass easily from blood to brain. Exercise gets the job done, boosting BDNF and keeping our brains nimble. That fact makes exercise crucial as we age. Pumping iron, and therefore pumping up BDNF, promotes brain plasticity: the ability to change, grow and adapt to the insults that come with growing older. Listen to this episode to hear how you can boost BDNF through exercise and stay sharp into your golden years.

My AP Biology ThoughtsUnit 8 Episode #23Welcome to My AP Biology Thoughts podcast, my name is Alex and I am your host for episode 23 called Trophic levels and  energy flow..  Today we will be discussing these ideas and their importance to ecology. Segment 1: Introduction to Trophic LevelsTrophic levels are a means to categorize species in an ecosystem by their distance from the energy source. This separates species into different categories, such as producers, primary consumers, and secondary consumers, with some species being able to inhabit multiple categories depending on what they eat. Energy flow refers to how energy is transferred throughout an ecosystem. Energy generally flows in a linear direction, with energy going from low trophic levels to high trophic levels, with energy being lost to the environment as heat. So, what are examples of these ideas? Segment 2: Examples of Trophic LevelsA simple example of trophic levels would be an ecosystem of a plant, a worm, and a bird. In this ecosystem, the plant produces energy from the sun, the worm eats the leaves of the plant, and the bird eats the worm. This ecosystem would have the plant be the producer, as it gets its energy from the sun, with the worm being a primary consumer and the bird being a secondary consumer. Using this same ecosystem, we can also determine how energy flows through the system. The plant produces energy from the sun, and uses a portion of the energy to keep itself alive. This energy is lost to the environment as heat. When a worm eats the leaves, it gets only a portion of the energy that was made by the plant. The same thing happens to the bird: the worm uses some of the energy to live, and  Segment 3: Digging Deeper into Trophic LevelsThese topics are extremely useful when explaining the number of organisms in each species. While producers are plentiful due to their ability to be self sufficient, we see that species which take up higher trophic levels exist in relatively small populations. This is due to the fact that only a fraction of energy is transferred between trophic levels, around only 10% per level. This makes food a huge limiting factor for many secondary and tertiary consumers, who have to constantly forage for relatively few calories. Although trophic levels and energy flow are relatively basic ideas, they are essential in understanding many interactions and population numbers of ecosystems.

There is so much to say about the Trophic Theory of Money that we had to break the topic down into two parts! In this episode, Brian Czech fills in the gaps from last week's discussion of agricultural surpluses and ancient currencies. He then shifts the conversation to today by identifying the implications of the trophic theory of money for modern economic policy.

There is no theory in economics more down to Earth than the trophic theory of money (TTOM). Born out of an epiphany in ecological economics by Brian Czech, the TTOM offers the clearest explanation to the ecosystem we call “the economy” and the origins of money. In this episode, we examine this theory through the lens of ancient cultures and the food chains of nature.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.08.06.238816v1?rss=1 Authors: Ingles-Prieto, A., Furthmann, N., Crossman, S., Hoyer, N., Petersen, M., Zheden, V., Biebl, J., Reichhart, E., Gyoergy, A., Siekhaus, D., Soba, P., Winklhofer, K. F., Janovjak, H. Abstract: Optogenetics has been harnessed to shed new mechanistic light on current therapies and to develop future treatment strategies. This has been to date achieved by the correction of electrical signals in neuronal cells and neural circuits that are affected by disease. In contrast, the optogenetic delivery of trophic biochemical signals, which support cell survival and thereby may modify progression of degenerative disorders, has never been demonstrated in an animal disease model. Here, we reengineered the human and Drosophila melanogaster REarranged during Transfection (hRET and dRET) receptors to be activated by light, creating one-component optogenetic tools termed Opto-hRET and Opto-dRET. Upon blue light stimulation, these receptors robustly induced the MAPK/ERK proliferative signaling pathway in cultured cells. In PINK1B9 flies that exhibit loss of PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1), a kinase associated with familial Parkinson's disease (PD), light activation of Opto-dRET suppressed mitochondrial defects, tissue degeneration and behavioral deficits. In human cells with PINK1 loss-of-function, mitochondrial fragmentation was rescued using Opto-dRET via the PI3K/NF{kappa}B pathway. Our results demonstrate that a light-activated receptor can ameliorate disease hallmarks in a genetic model of PD. The optogenetic delivery of trophic signals is cell type-specific and reversible and thus has the potential to overcome limitations of current strategies towards a spatio-temporal regulation of tissue repair.

"Just say plant geneticist and data scientist" That is what Kate Crosby told me to say about her background.  She is a Canadian plant geneticist living in Sacramento California and she has a lot of ideas that are outside of the norm. We discussed quarantine zones, how systems break down, how long people will stay in their houses and how she spends her time. @_Kate_Crosby_@VanceCroweThis is the 26th interview in the ongoing series of Coronavirus perspectives. I believe that society will have the rules re-written when we come out of this global pandemic and it is important to hear how various individuals and industries are handling themselves amidst the crisis.  This series seeks to reveal many perspectives that will otherwise be ignored by both mainstream media and you might not see on your social media channels.

How did nuclear testing accidentally reshape our understanding of food webs and marine ecology? Why did sea otters bounce back from near-extinction on some parts of the Pacific coast, but are still absent in others? We speak with Dr. Jim Estes (a godfather of the field) about a series of serendipitous events that led to the re-writing of textbook ecology. This is part one of our three-part series on kelp worlds.

As we reach a certain age, we experience changes in our ability to do things--the sudden lack of energy, the loss of sharpness, and the decrease in our performance. These changes, with the addition of our unhealthy habits, can get us into a rapid and unturnable course in our raft as we go on with our life--memory loss. We’re back with the second episode of the Memory Health Made Easy podcast. Today’s episode is about establishing where we are at with our personal risk factors when it comes to memory loss--what are the things that we can do to prevent it early on? Know what your risks are today and let me help you keep your memories burning bright. Subscribe to this podcast and tune in to the show for the specifics!  Do You Know These Risks For Memory Loss What Is Dementia? One person every three seconds is diagnosed with dementia worldwide. Dementia is not the same as Alzheimer’s. Dementia is an umbrella term that represents severe and pronounced memory loss. Assessment Tools If you don’t detect the changes happening within you in your 40s, it can progress to mild cognitive changes and memory health changes. Assessment tools indicate whether patients are at a mild cognitive impairment state or if they’re experiencing pronounced cognitive impairment. These tools let doctors see changes in comparison to the people of similar age groups. What Happens To The Brain During Our 40s When we are in our 40s, mild cognitive changes are six times more likely to progress to dementia. Research neurologist Dr. Dale Bredesen explains that in our 40s, there is a build-up of amyloid-beta protein in our brain--which is like a master key in our brains. Over time, when we’re exposed to risk factors, it builds up and accumulates and binds to the cell walls--causing changes in behaviour. There are over 50 variables that contribute to the development of amyloid-beta in the brain. There are drug interventions present in the market, however, they only target one or two variables. Cluster Presentations Of The 50 Variables Cold presentation Hot presentation Sweet presentation Traumatic presentation Toxic presentation Trophic presentation Understanding Your Personal Risk Factors Imagine that a shed roof protects your brain. As we move through our life, we get a few holes in the roof. That hole is different from one person to another. We only need to close the majority of holes to protect the state of our brain.

The delivery of nutrition to the critically ill is incredibly complex. There is little evidence that providing standard nutritional requirements of 25K/cal/Kg improves outcome. Foremost amongst this evidence is the TARGET trial, a large randomised controlled trial of 4000 patients in Intensive care.

A fascinating conversation with Taal Levi, Assistant Professor in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Oregon State University. Taal is a geneticist and ecologist with a broad research focus including assessing the ecological consequences of wildlife over-exploitation, fisheries management, the ecology and conservation of predators, disease ecology, and population dynamics in a changing climate. Our conversation moved through several interesting research topics including how DNA techniques are re-writing our understanding of species' natural history; DNA bar-coding; studying the rare Humboldt marten; brown bears, rodents, and seed dispersal; passenger pigeons; recovering extinct species; the ecology of Lyme disease; trophic cascades, and more!    Links for listeners: USFWS proposal to list the Humboltd marten as Threatened under the ESA: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-10-09/pdf/2018-21794.pdf James Estes book on trophic cascades https://www.amazon.com/Trophic-Cascades-Predators-Changing-Dynamics/dp/1597264873 James Estes memoir Serendipity: An Ecologist's Quest to Understand Nature https://www.amazon.com/Serendipity-Ecologists-Understand-Organisms-Environments/dp/0520285034 Estes et al. paper on trophic downgrading https://people.clas.ufl.edu/rdholt/files/255.pdf

The gang looks over two older review papers that are interested in communities and trophic disruption. What is important in keeping communities together and how can stable systems become destabilized? They use these two review papers as a general jumping off point to talk about the difference between a species that is just non-native vs invasive, trophic collapse or cascades, and the importance of systems interactions in keeping communities at a stable equilibrium. Meanwhile, Amanda is always meeting new people, James wants a reboot, and Curt messes up the simplest part of his job.   Up-Goer Five (Curt Edition): Our friends talk about the groups that form when many different animals and the green things they eat all live in the same place and share matter. These groups are always changing over time, but they can  reach an even state for a short time. First, the friends talk about what happens when a new animal or green thing moves into the group. Most of the time, this is not a problem. However, sometimes one new type of animal or green thing can cause a lot of problems for the group. Usually, we see this happening when the group has gotten sick because people keep breaking the place where the group lives. We usually tell if a group is sick by the number of different animals and green things in it. The more different things in a group, the better off it usually is. However, sometimes a group that is not sick can still have one of these new types of animals or green things move in and cause problems. This is because the new thing moving in is helped by one of the animals or green things already living in the group. This means that people need to think bigger about which groups might end up having problems with new types of things, because groups that aren't sick may still have problems. People need to be better about not moving around animals and green things that don't usually live there. Second, the friends talk about the ways in which these groups can become even over time. It turns out that just a few animals in these groups usually keep the entire group even. If these animals are taken away or hurt, then the whole group suddenly changes to a very different group with far less different animals and green things in it. In other words, if just these very important animals are hurt, the whole group can get very sick. Usually, the animals that are most important at keeping the group even are the ones that eat the most. These animals are also the things that people kill because of food or clothes or fear. People need to not kill these things or everything will break down.   References: Estes, James A., et al.

In this episode the gang discusses two papers about how niche breadth can change as organisms grow, with one paper looking at modern organisms and the other focusing on extinct fossil taxa. Also, James is fascinated by New York's greatest "hero", Amanda becomes "enthusiastic" in her defense of a topic, and witness the dark middle chapter of the podcast as Curt "ruins everything". We also have an in-depth discussion on what can and cannot be classified as a pie.... it's one of those podcasts. Skip to 12 minutes in if you want to start learning about science.
