  • '프로그래밍은 어렵다'라는 인식이 학습자들 가운데 퍼져있다. 실제로 대학교육에서 프로그래밍 수업의 중도 포기율이 다른 강좌들에 비해 높은 것을 볼 수 있다. 따라서 학습자들이 프로그래밍을 왜 어렵게 생각하는지 인지적인 측면의 분석을 통해 그에 대한 적절한 교수 전략이 필요하다. 최근에 뇌과학의 발달을 통해 뇌가 어떻게 학습하고 어떤 상황에서 가장 효과적으로 활동하는지 파악하여 적절한 학습 환경을 구축하기 위한 뇌친화적 학습에 대한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 뇌친화적인 학습 원리를 기반으로 하여 프로그래밍 수업에 대한 교수 설계를 하였다.

  • Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, $^{+}NH_3CH_2CH_2{SO_3}^{-}$) is endogenous $\beta$-amino acid which is essential in fetal nutrition and development and is present in abundant quantities in several tissues of fetus. In utero, taurine deficiency causes abnormal development and abnormal function of brain, retina, kidney and myocardium. Thus, transfer of taurine into fetus is important during embryonic development. Taurine transporter (TauT) has 12 hydrophobic membrane -spanning domains, which is typical of the $Na^{+}$- and $Cl^{-}$-dependent transporter gene family. Among the various biosynthetic enzymes of taurine, cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase (CSD) is the rate-limiting enzyme for biosynthesis of taurine. However, the enzyme activities of taurine biosynthesis are limited in early stage of embryonic development. To analyze the expression period of TauT and CSD during embryonic development, we have investigated the gene expression of TauT and CSD using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in mouse and chicken embryos. RT-PCR anaylsis revealed that both TauT and CSD mRNAs were already expressed at Day-4.5 in mouse embryo. In chicken whole embryo, TauT and CSD mRNAs began to appear on developing times of 48 hrs and 12 hrs, respectively. TauT mRNA was detected in the organs of heart, brain and eye of the day-3 chicken embryo. Our data show that TauT and CSD mRNAs were expressed in early stage of embryonic development.

  • The lack of an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD) stems primarily from incomplete understanding of AD's causes. A rapidly growing number of scientific reports highlight important roles played by peripheral infections and intestinal bacterial flora in pathological and physiological functions involving the microbiome-intestine-brain axis. The microbiome controls basic aspects of the central nervous system (CNS), immunity, and behavior, in health and disease. Changes in the density and composition of the microbiome have been linked to disorders of the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems, including mood changes, depression, increased susceptibility to stressors, and autistic behaviors. There is no doubt that in patients with AD, restoration of the intestinal microbiome to a composition reminiscent of that found in healthy adult humans will significantly slow the progression of neurodegeneration, by ameliorating inflammatory reactions and/or amyloidogenesis. In the near future, better understanding of bidirectional communication between the brain and microbiota will allow the development of functional diets using specific probiotic bacteria.

  • The present study attempts to explore the first appearance 8nd subsequent development of %cosine hvdroxvlase (TH)-containing neurons in the rat brain from embryonic day (E) 10.5 to the neonate. To increase the senti노ivity and resolution power, a double bridge peroxidase-anti-peroxidase technique was employed for cellular localization of TH. In situ hybridization histochemistw with synthetic TH oligomer (30-mer) codinB TH was also used to detect TH mRNA. TH-containing neurons were first detected at E11.5 in the intermediate zone of prosencepha1on and mesencephalon. At this stage, TH-immunoreactive neurons were small, ovoid bee and emitted their fibres into their immediate surroundings. From this stage, TH-immunoreactive neurons increased in their number and underwent migration and cell differentiation. At E15.5, the distribution pattern of the maior groups of TH neurons was similar to that of adult catecholaminergic groups, and at E19.5 the external laver of median eminence showed TH-immunoreactive processes.

  • Many neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, are devastating disorders that affect millions of people worldwide. However, the number of therapeutic options remains severely limited with only symptomatic management therapies available. With the better understanding of the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, discovery efforts for disease-modifying drugs have increased dramatically in recent years. However, the process of translating basic science discovery into novel therapies is still lagging behind for various reasons. The task of finding new effective drugs targeting central nervous system (CNS) has unique challenges due to blood-brain barrier (BBB). Furthermore, the relatively slow progress of neurodegenerative disorders create another level of difficulty, as clinical trials must be carried out for an extended period of time. This review is intended to provide molecular and cell biologists with working knowledge and resources on CNS drug discovery and development.

  • Insulin and transfenin (Tf) were found to be essential for suwival and differentiation of brain neuroblasts obtained from chick embryo. This requirement, however, is Changed from insulin to Tf upon neuronal development of the embryo, and this phenomenon is due to the changes in the levels of corresponding receptors. Using cultured neuroblasts, the level of Tf receptor is also found to increase Lvhile that of insulin receptor falls dramatically during the course of the cell differentiation. These results suggest that the development-specific changes in the levels of insulin and Tf receptors in embryo can be reproduced in the culture system during the differentiation period. Because the culture system used was a defined medium and contained no other macromolecules than insulin and Tf, it appears possible that insulin and Tf may act as signalling molecules in the control of neuronal development.

  • Neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs) constitute a bipotent cell population that generates a wide variety of trunk cell and tissue types during embryonic development. Derivatives of NMPs include both mesodermal lineage cells such as muscles and vertebral bones, and neural lineage cells such as neural crests and central nervous system neurons. Such diverse lineage potential combined with a limited capacity for self-renewal, which persists during axial elongation, demonstrates that NMPs are a major source of trunk tissues. This review describes the identification and characterization of NMPs across multiple species. We also discuss key cellular and molecular steps for generating neural and mesodermal cells for building up the elongating trunk tissue.

  • Omega-3 fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid(DHA) is found in a high proportion in the structural lipids of cell membranes, in particular those of the central nervous system and the retina. Diet-induced changes in fatty acid composition in these tissues may affect physiochemical functions. This study was conducted to investigate whether supplements of DHA in infant formula has an effect on the composition of fatty acids in erythrocytes with regard to brain development. Experimental groups were breastmilk group(n=21), placebo formula group(n=15), and DHA supplemented formula (0.26%) group(n=16). Infants were selected by mothers who deliverecdd at Kyung Hee medical center from February to April, 1996. Infant body weight, length, and head circumference were similar among the experimental groups at 16 weeks of age. The levels of DHA in breastmilk, placebo formula, and DHA supplemented formula were 0.56, 0, and 0.26% of total fatty acids, respectively. There was a significant correlation between dietary DHA intake and erythrocyte DHA levels. The levels of arachidonic acid did not differ among the three expermental groups. The result of flash visual evoke potential(VEP) test was correlated with the erythrocyte levels and dietary DHA levels at 16 weeks of age. No other fatty acid was correlated with VEP test results. No differences were found in Bayley Mental and Psychomotor Development Index scores among the three groups at 20 weeks of age. DHA seems to be an essential nutrient for optimum growth and maturation of term infants. Relatively small amounts of dietary DHA supplementation significantly elevate DHA supplementation significantly elevate DHA content in erythrocytes, which in turn has an implication for better scores for infant's VEP test. Whether supplementation of formula-fed infants with DHA has long-term benefits remains to be elucidated.
