Lateral Geniculate Body

Geniculate comes from the Latin geniculatus, meaning “knee-shaped” or “bent like a knee.” 

The lateral geniculate body has a curved/elongated appearance on the posterolateral thalamus.

The lateral geniculate body (also called the lateral geniculate nucleus or LGN) is a key relay station in the thalamus that processes and transfers visual information from the retina to the primary visual cortex. 

The classical pathway is:

Retina → optic nerve → optic chiasm → optic tract → LGB → optic radiation → primary visual cortex (V1)

A particularly important discovery was that the LGB maintains an organized representation of the visual field.

The human LGB contains six principal layers:

• Layers 1–2: Magnocellular (M)
• Layers 3–6: Parvocellular (P)

Comet Tail Bacterial Motility

 

Comet tail bacterial motility, clinically known as actin-based motility (ABM), is a mechanism where certain intracellular bacterial pathogens hijack a host cell's cytoskeleton to move. 

Instead of using their own flagella, these bacteria force host cell actin proteins to polymerize rapidly at one end of the bacterial surface. 

This rapid assembly generates a physical pushing force that propels the bacterium forward, leaving behind a dense, tail-like network of filaments resembling a "comet tail" or "actin rocket".

 The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has a fascinating new exhibit featuring reconstructions of some ancient works of art that show how they might have originally looked when they were still painted in bright colors.

World Goddess Day

Minerva was the ancient Roman goddess of wisdom, strategic warfare, arts, crafts, and intellectual pursuits.

The name Minerva is also the origin of terms associated with wisdom and learning, such as “Minervan.”

The Romans used images of gods on jewelry as protective amulets.

 Wearing Minerva's image was thought to place the wearer under her protection. 

Minerva was particularly associated with protecting heroes such as Herakles and Theseus.
