I've heard that THC can cause permanent damage to brain cells.I've also heard this reffered to anti drug propaganda. Anothertheory i've read is that temporary effects reduce intelligence butlong term results are not affected. If Marijuana does causepermanent brain damage how does it do so? How exactly does it killthe cell?

I am reviewing this article for a biochemistry presentation and need help understanding it. http://www.jbc.org/content/289/27/18707.full?sid=dd97d7e5-e294-4704-bcd6-b2bef3f37b34#cited-by

My question is what background information is going to be necessarry/important for my audience (fellow biochemistry students) to understand what I'm talking about? So far I've explained that epigenetics is the study of changes in gene expression (no change in DNA sequence from these changes), THC acts on CB1 and CB2 receptors which are GPCRs, and CB2 receptors are found on immune cells. I also plan on including that methylation generally results in genes not being expressed and that THC causes Th1 cytokine genes to be suppressed and Th2 genes to be expressed, resulting in anti-inflammatory effects. Please correct me if this is wrong. I also plan to explain what cytokines and histones are. Anything else you may think would be helpful is greatly appreciated. Thank you

I am well aware of the phenomenon of neurogenesis induced byexercise, as well as the dopamine release that results fromexercise. I am really interested in neuropsychology and the effectsof exercise on personality. What are some other biologicalprocesses that are stimulated by exercise, does it activate ourparasympathetic nervous system? Is there any cool research outthere for me to read? I am grateful for any input. Any informationabout exercise and its effects on human biology is appreciated.

While this answer was appreciated, i'm interested in otherbiological processes... What happens to stress and anxiety? Do ouradrenal glands stop secreting as much corticosteroids? What effectdoes exercise have on circadian rhythms? With exercise, can youcircumvent the problem of not getting enough light in the winter?What effect does exercise have on memory? It should probably help,since it would lead to decreased damage to the hippocampus. Howdoes exercise effect sleep, learning, memory, metabolicprocesses??? I'm searching for the comprehensive list of differentprimary and secondary effects of exercise from a biologicalstandpoint. I'm really interested in what the short term and longterm effects of exercise are on the brain.

GENETICS PROBLEMS

PLEASE help me with these questions! I've provided the answers I just need to see the WORK, detailed work so I can understand. Thank you sooo much.

21. In some genetically engineered corn plants the dominant gene (BT) produces a protein that is lethal to certain flying insect pests that eat the corn plants. It was also found that the pollen could cause death in some flying insects. If the corn plant is heterozygous for BT, what proportion of the pollen would carry the dominant gene?

Answer: 1/2

25. Sickle cell anemia is a recessive trait in humans. In a cross between a father who has sickle cell anemia and a mother who is heterozygous for the gene, what is the probability that their first three children will have the normal phenotype?

Answer: 1/8

26. The dominant trait, Huntington disease causes severe neural/brain damage at approximately age 40. A female whose mother has Huntington disease marries a male whose parents are normal. It is not known if the female has the disease. What is the probability that their firstborn will inherit the gene that causes Huntington disease?
