(V.S. Ramachandran) Dendritic Action Potentials 11.5 minutes In this segment, the focus is on a fascinating discovery about nerve signaling related to dendritic action potentials (dCaAPs). These unique potentials occur in layers two and three of the human cerebral cortex and play a role in complex brain functions. Unlike typical action potentials, dendritic action potentials are graded and produced by the influx of calcium ions. They enable processing and decision-making at a more complex level, expanding our understanding of the human brain's uniqueness. ★ Scientists Uncover a Never-Before-Seen Type of Signal Occurring in The Human Brain (plain English summary of the new discovery from Science Alert) AandP.info/p08 ★ Dendritic action potentials and computation in human layer 2/3 cortical neurons (report in Science) AandP.info/g48 Please rate & review The A&P Professor—it helps others decide whether to give us a try! 😁 ★ RateThisPodcast.com/theAPprofessor Transducer Model of the Brain9.5 minutes Join us in this segment as we challenge conventional models of the brain and introduce the transducer model. Inspired by psychologist Robert Epstein, this thought-provoking model likens the brain to a two-way transducer, sending and retrieving information like a mobile phone accessing external servers. While it may sound far-fetched—even quite wacky—the transducer model encourages us to explore alternative perspectives and consider the possibility of information exchange beyond the confines of the brain. ★ Your Brain Is Not a Computer.

Understanding the connections and similarities between nervous and endocrine signaling helps students grasp these core concepts more deeply. By highlighting structures, functional aspects, and regulatory effects, instructors can foster a comprehensive understanding of chemical signals and the transduction of those signals. Exploring these core concepts within a broader context enhances students' ability to connect and apply their knowledge across different topics.

Memorization has gotten a bad rap recently. Lots of students, and even some educators, say that being able to reason is more important than knowing facts; and besides, why bother committing things to memory when you've got Google? My response to this - after I've finished inwardly groaning - is that of course reasoning is important, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't know facts as well. It's not like you have to choose between one or the other. Besides, facts give you a foundation on which to reason about things.

| Revisiting A&P Learning Outcomes | Episode 54 | 21 Oct 2019 | 00:43:03 | |
Host Kevin Patton previews the newly revised HAPS Learning Outcomes for A&P, discussing the goals of the revision and samples a few of the changes. Why is noon a good time to get your flu shot? Are there neurons that actively erase memories? Vaping: why A&P teachers need to keep up with the news. 00:42 | Timing of Vaccinations If you cannot see or activate the audio player click here.
It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning. (Claude Bernard) Timing of Vaccinations 2 minutes With a new flu season upon us, vaccination is a timely topic. Recent research suggests that the time of day at which we receive our vaccination may influence it's effectiveness. At midday, CD8 T cells may respond more strongly than at other times of day.

6 | Sponsored by AAA 0.5 minutes
7 | VHL - An Unexpected Partner 3 minutes
When oxygen levels are low (hypoxia), HIF-1α is protected from degradation and accumulates in the nucleus, where it associates with ARNT and binds to specific DNA sequences (HRE) in hypoxia-regulated genes (1). At normal oxygen levels, HIF-1α is rapidly degraded by the proteasome (2). Oxygen regulates the degradation process by the addition of hydroxyl groups (OH) to HIF-1α (3). The VHL protein can then recognize and form a complex with HIF-1α leading to its degradation in an oxygen-dependent manner (4). https://my-ap.us/35fm0O6 8 | Oxygen sHIFts the Balance 1.5 minutes
9 | Oxygen Shapes Physiology & Pathology 2 minutes
The awarded mechanism for oxygen sensing has fundamental importance in physiology, for example for our metabolism, immune response and ability to adapt to exercise. Many pathological processes are also affected. Intensive efforts are ongoing to develop new drugs that can either inhibit or activate the oxygen-regulated machinery for treatment of anemia, cancer and other diseases. https://my-ap.us/2LW2cIb 10 | Sponsored by HAPI Online Graduate Program1 minute The Master of Science in Human Anatomy & Physiology Instruction—the MS-HAPI—is a graduate program for A&P teachers.

5 | Activity & Heart Shape 4.5 minutes Evolution has played a role in making human hearts similar to chimpanzee hearts. The left ventricle is thick-walled and short—best suited for shorter and perhaps intense bursts of activity. However, the heart is able to elongate and have a thinner wall to adapt to a lifestyle that features endurance activity.

| The Case for Case Studies | Episode 52 | 16 Sep 2019 | 00:49:50 | |
Host Kevin Patton discusses the many ways case studies can be used in teaching, why they enhance learning, and where to find them. Also, updates in factors underlying left-handedness, functional maps of the brain, and reversing biological age, plus some tips on responding to student questions. 00:44 | Left-handedness If you cannot see or activate the audio player click here.
If the left half of the brain controls the right half of the body then only left handed people are in their right mind. (W.C. Fields) 1 | Left-Handedness 2 minutes A new report suggests that left-handedness, which one in ten of us exhibit, is partially influenced by genes. One effect of these genes is to change the structure of our body cells' cytoskeleton. Of course, a lot more work has to be done. By left-handers and right-handers alike.
2 | Responding to Students 19.5 minutes Half of students don't read the syllabus, don't read directions, don't listen to us—which can produce some frustrations when they reach out to us with questions that they already have the answer for. Somewhere nearby them. Kevin gives some tips on how to to handle these with grace and ease (taking barely any time or effort), as well as advice on heading them off before they are asked.

4 | Mapping Brain Functions 4 minutes We've all see various functional maps of the human brain. But once you get down to the smaller regions, or parcels, it gets weird. Beyond a certain resolution, things are very flexible. Because functions of tiny parcels vary with the state of that region of the brain in any given moment, we will probably not be able to produce a high-resolution functional map of the brain—even for any one individual.

6 | Reversing Age 3.5 minutes Can biological age be reversed? Some research in a small group of older men suggest it may be possible. Using a cocktail of common drugs, their epigenomes showed a younger biological age. Hmm.

Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway. (Mother Teresa) 1 | Smell and Taste 1.5 minutes Did you know that the tongue can smell? Kevin gives an update on new research.
2 | Old Gray Coat 8 minutes You ever see me in my classic, reliable, sporty (really old) gray sport coat at a HAPS conference? If not, then maybe you haven't seen me at a HAPS conference within the last 20 or so years. Or any conference, for that matter. Having nearly lost it after the 2019 HAPS conference, I use my bad experience with a dry cleaner to more fully realize the importance of good customer-service skills when dealing with students.

Is that valid? How far does it go? Kevin cites a recent report that furthers our understanding of this comparison.
5 | T Cells Attack Brain Stem Cells 2.5 minutes Yeah, another update on making new neurons in adult brains. This time, we find some evidence that "rogue" T cells may attack stem cells in the brain, specifically in the subventricular zone (SVZ), thus slowing the rate of making new neurons.
6 | Sponsored by AAA | A New Name & Logo for AAA! 4 minutes

To be playful and serious at the same time is possible, and it defines the ideal mental condition. (John Dewey) 1 | Special Series of Episodes 4.5 minutes This and the next few episodes will be super, spectacular, and special. So I'm calling them "specials" just like the grownups in the media world do. These specials are single-topic-ish recasts of some of the major themes from the past 18 months of this podcast. A mix of old and new. But mostly, the classic stuff that we'll benefit from reviewing and reflecting upon. The general topic of this special episode revolves a recurring theme of this podcast: teaching as a form of storytelling
2 | Storytelling in the A&P Course 15 minutes Kevin explains why he thinks storytelling is the heart of effective teaching, especially in the A&P course. He outlines the “storytelling persona”; making sure there is a beginning, middle, and end to our stories, applying storytelling to both lectures and the entire course, using drama, conflict and resolution, and other techniques.
2 minutes Artificial intelligence (AI) is seen by some as the emerging technology to replace teachers. Really? How should we respond? In Episode 47, I suggest that developing the uniquely human (and humane) skills—such as storytelling—is our best strategy. This is a clip taken from the middle of that segment.

This segment "continues the story" by discussing analogies. Analogies can be stories that help students understand complex concepts. Sometimes, they are most effective when they are playful, which helps engage students and makes the stories easy to remember. Kevin relates his use of "phosphorylation frogs" in a story that can be referred to every time ATP generation comes up in the course. What are the pros and cons of using analogies?

| Deep Elaboration & Other Stories of Teaching Anatomy & Physiology | TAPP 136 | 09 May 2023 | 00:53:33 | |
In Episode 136, host Kevin Patton looks at the effects of tattoos on sweat glands, we discuss aural diversity and how we can accommodate it, and we explore how to use the process of deep elaboration in our course to help challenged learners develop stronger and more useful memories. 00:00 | Introduction 00:47 | Tattoos May Impair Sweating 05:37 | Sponsored by AAA 06:41 | Aural Diversity.

(Helen Keller) Tattoos May Impair Sweating 5 minutes It's interesting to see how tattoos can have an impact on our skin and sweat glands. Tattoos involve mechanical stress and potential damage to the skin, and new research suggests that they may negatively affect the sweat glands, impairing sweating in the area of the tattoo. This reduction in sweating is called anhidrosis, which can impact our ability to maintain body temperature and potentially lead to severe conditions such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke. While this is still a preliminary study and more research needs to be done, it's a great example of how discussing real-life applications of anatomy and physiology concepts, such as tattoos, can engage students and make the information more relatable and interesting. ★ Tattooed Skin Negatively Impacts Sweat Gland Function (summary article from Science Times) https://aandp.info/j0g ★ Skin tattooing impairs sweating during passive whole body heating (research article from Journal of Applied Physiology) https://aandp.info/tvt ★ Sweating and body odor (article from Mayo Clinic) https://aandp.info/9cg Please rate & review The A&P Professor—it helps others decide whether to give us a try! 😁 ★ RateThisPodcast.com/theAPprofessor Sponsored by AAA 61 seconds A searchable transcript for this episode, as well as the captioned audiogram of this episode, are sponsored by the American Association for Anatomy (AAA) at anatomy.org.

Aural Diversity. It's a Thing. 16 minutes In this segment, host Kevin Patton talks about aural diversity, which refers to variations in hearing ability among people. He explains that understanding aural diversity is important for teachers because it helps them reach all of their students, who may have different hearing abilities. Kevin also notes that he has a hearing impairment himself, and that many other people do as well. He offers some strategies for communicating with people who have hearing impairments, such as repeating things louder, more slowly, and with exaggerated annunciation. Kevin emphasizes that it's important for people to be aware of aural diversity so that they can provide help and support to those who need it. ★ The world is built for people with perfect hearing — but 83% of people don't have it (segment on St. Louis Public Radio) https://aandp.info/08f ★ Aural Diversity (website all about aural diversity) https://auraldiversity.org/ ★ Aural Diversity Infographic https://aandp.info/kwe ★ Workshop on aural diversity (video from auraldiversity.org) https://aandp.info/c14 ★ Auphonic (online sound processing to make your educational media loud enough and clear enough for all students) https://aandp.info/auphonic [this is my affiliate link] ★ What Is LUFS, and Why Should I Care?

Deep Elaboration 10.5 minutes This segment introduces the Deep Elaboration approach, which is used to help students who learn differently, including students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, and students on the autism spectrum. The Landmark College Institute for Research and Training (LCIRT) offers a variety of professional development programs for helping challenged students, and we are interested in these strategies for neurodiverse learners because they often work well for all students. A strong memory is one that is durable, flexible, and involves desirable difficulty to learn. Deep elaboration is the act of adding more information to existing information to create a more complex whole, which involves asking questions that help build deep explanations of core concepts. This approach focuses on the underlying principles and causes of the material being studied and involves a mechanistic approach rather than a teleological approach. ★ Fostering Deep Elaboration: A “trick” for Getting Info to Stick in Memory (training from Landmark College) https://aandp.info/au7 ★ Organizing Instruction and Study to Improve Student Learning A Practice Guide (free, downloadable book with many strategies [#7 is deep elaboration] aandp.info/fcs ★ Twelve tips for optimising medical student retention of anatomy (article from Medical Teacher)https://aandp.info/55l ★ Landmark College Institute for Research and Training (LCIRT pioneers LD research, discovers innovative strategies and practices, and improves teaching and learning outcomes for students with learning disabilities (like dyslexia), ADHD, and autism, and educators in high school and college settings.) https://aandp.info/hrx ★ Desirable Difficulty (Episode 78) Sponsored by HAPS 55 seconds The Human Anatomy & Physiology Society (HAPS) is a sponsor of this podcast.

The think-aloud process involves telling themselves or being told to stop and think about why certain concepts or facts work the way they do, and to explain them out loud, write them down, or draw pictures to help reinforce the understanding. By doing so, students can identify where they are weak and need to ask more questions, and create an explanation or self-explanation for themselves. This process can also help students connect new concepts to their existing framework of knowledge and make future connections. We also suggest using concept mapping and running concept lists as physical ways to record and reinforce the think aloud process. Finally, we suggest asking deep questions that intentionally take students deeper than simple facts, such as elaborative interrogation, to better understand the why and logic behind the concepts they are learning. ★ Developing Intercultural Sensitivity (book chapter from The Handbook of Intercultural training; expands on concepts of intercultural sensitivity spectrum discussed in this segment) AandP.info/3pm ★ Uncertainty-Identity Theory (paper from Advances in Experimental Social Psychology) AandP.info/vq1

Check it out! 7 | Featured: Language of Muscles: A Strategy for Learning 17 minutes Learning the major muscles of the body can be intimidating for students. But if they understand from the start that those unusual names are more than a tongue-twisting combination of syllables—that they actually have meaning—they can use muscle names as mnemonic aids to learning. Muscle names can help students remember muscles by reminding them of the muscle's location, function, shape, size, and/or other characteristics.

| The Last Best Story in Teaching Anatomy & Physiology | Episode 37 | 11 Feb 2019 | 00:31:33 | |
Host Kevin Patton emphasizes the idea of the "last best story" in science to review the unfolding debates about adult neurogenesis and autonomic pathways. How can we use the "anatomical compass" to help students learn anatomy? What is reserve hematopoiesis? And more discussion of feedback to students in online tests. 01:17 | Feedback in Online Tests If you cannot see or activate the audio player click here.
Scientific theories are tested every time someone makes an observation or conducts an experiment, so it is misleading to think of science as an edifice, built on foundations. Rather, scientific knowledge is more like a web. The difference couldn’t be more crucial. A tall edifice can collapse – if the foundations upon which it was built turn out to be shaky. But a web can be torn in several parts without causing the collapse of the whole. The damaged threads can be patiently replaced and re-connected with the rest – and the whole web can become stronger, and more intricate. (Massimo Pigliucci) 1 | Feedback in Online tests 7 minutes In Episode 36, Adam Rich called in regarding how we can provide feedback to students taking online tests. I responded that I encourage students to get the correct response from their study buddies—or from me. After the episode aired, Krista Rompolski pointed out that this could be a challenge in very large courses. What do y'all think? Tell us. Really.
2 | The Anatomical Compass 6.5 minutes Although you and I are comfortable in orienting ourselves to anatomical directions when looking at diagrams, photographs, and specimens in anatomy, our beginning student often are not. The simple process of adding an "anatomical rosette" reflecting the anatomical directions in each encountered diagram can help students develop the skill of understanding anatomical perspective. 3 | Sponsored by AAA 0.5 minutes The searchable transcript for this episode, as well as the captioned audiogram of this episode, are sponsored by The American Association of Anatomists (AAA) at anatomy.org. Their big meeting is in April at the Experimental Biology (EB) meeting in Orlando FL.

These "reserve" HSCs (rHSCs) may step up when the primed HSCs (pHSCs) cannot keep up with the demand for hematopoiesis.

That approach emphasizes the evolving nature of scientific understanding. In this episode, I mention two stories that are evolving right now.
