G.N. Ramachandran - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology Ramachandran (G.N.R. or Ram to his friends and associates) was the founder of the 'Madras school' of conformational analysis of biopolymers. Ramachandran's death is a grievous loss not only to his family members but also to the Indian and international scientific community and marks the passing away of a brilliant mind with great passion for structural biology. Thus, in 1952, Ramachandran became a professor of physics at the University of Madras at the age of 29. www.nature.com /nsmb/journal/v8/n6/full/nsb0601_489.html   (2235 words)

INDOlink - NRI News - UCSD's Prof. V. Ramachandran connects brain area to grasping metaphors Ramachandran's lab is continuing work on linking other brain areas, the supramarginal gyrus and human homologues of mirror neurons, for example, to other types of metaphoric abilities. V.S. Ramachandran has brought them from the clinic to the laboratory and shown that an intensive study of these patients can often provide valuable new insights into the workings of the human brain. The tidal wave of new research on the human brain can be overwhelming, but Ramachandran, drawing on his own pioneering work on patients, has already succeeded in creating an elegant understanding of the mysteries and revelations to be found within our skulls. www.indolink.com /displayArticleS.php?id=052705102458   (1299 words)

Mixing Memory: The Cognitive Science of Art: Ramachandran's 10 Principles of Art, Principles 1-3 For another example (from Ramachandran and Hirstein) that might make the role of peak shift in art more clear, consider rats that are trained to respond to rectangles, and not to squares. As a starting point for the attempt to discover universals in art based on our knowledge of neuroscience, and visual neuroscience in particular, V.S. Ramachandran has proposed ten principles of art (eight of which come from the paper he wrote with William Hirstein, titled "The Science of Art"). Concerning the human version of a Picasso, then, Ramachandran believes that Picasso's combination of two views of one face in a painting serve as a similar super-stimulus. mixingmemory.blogspot.com /2005/01/cognitive-science-of-art-ramachandrans.html   (2064 words)

All in the Mind: 7 May  2005  - The Marco Polo of Neuroscience: V.S Ramachandran Ramachandran: Well we haven’t specifically worded on patient’s reactions to art but I can tell you that there are patients with epileptic seizures who we think have a process called ‘kindling’ where the sensory input and its links to the emotional limbic core of the brain are heightened. Ramachandran: That’s correct, it’s one of the most extraordinary things about that syndrome is they’ll say the mother — the patient will look at his mother and he’ll tell you with a perfectly straight face, “this is not my mother, she’s some other woman pretending to be my mother”. Ramachandran: Yes, that it’s all about attracting chicks, OK! So what it is is - ethologists have shown that as soon as a seagull chick hatches it starts pecking at the mother’s beak for food, and the mother seagull’s beak is a long yellow thing with a red spot. www.abc.net.au /rn/science/mind/stories/s1358883.htm   (4702 words)

BBC - Radio 4 - Reith Lectures 2003 - The Emerging Mind Professor Ramachandran demonstrates experimentally that the phenomenon of synesthaesia is a genuine sensory effect. Professor Ramachandran argues that neuroscience, perhaps more than any other discipline, is capable of transforming man's understanding of himself and his place in the cosmos.

Ramachandran In a Ramachandran plot, the core or allowed regions are the areas in the plot show the preferred regions for psi/phi angle pairs for residues in a protein. A classic definition of the core areas of the Ramachandran plot is described by Kleywegt and Jones [1999] Phi/Psi-chology: Ramachandran revisited. We wanted to create a Ramachandran plot for collections of phi/psi angles for various tetrapeptide fragments corresponding to beta turns in a large collection of PDB files and were unable to do so with available programs, which seem to all start off with individual PDB files. www.charite.de /ch/medgen/compgen/ramachandran   (1050 words)

8. Ramachandran Plots A Ramachandran plot is a graph of phi versus psi, with a dot (or small symbol) for each residue at the position corresponding the residue's phi and psi. Look at the Ramachandran Plot, and notice that fewer dots are present -- only those representing the selected residues are shown (selection, not display, determines the contents of the plot). Shorten the Control Panel, so that no part of it is hidden behind the Ramachandran Plot (this works around a little bug that sometimes causes clicks on the plot to read through onto the Control Panel). www.usm.maine.edu /~rhodes/SPVTut/text/STut08.html   (1292 words)

Amazon.com: Phantoms in the Brain : Probing the Mysteries of the Human Mind: Books: V. S. Ramachandran In Phantoms of the Brain, Ramachandran recounts numerous colorful stories, but develops a theory of what level of brain function is the cause of the observed deficits, then proceeds to test his theory with further study, making the "self" a topic of research. V.S. Ramachandran has seen countless patients suffering from anosognosia, phantom limb pain, blindsight, and other disorders, and he brings a remarkable mixture of clinical intuition and research savvy to bear on their problems. Unafraid to speculate, Ramachandran then moves a step closer toward indicating that the brain is not only a busy lump of genetically deemed-and-dying hard-wiring but an organ that can continuously "re-map" in response to new sensory information from the outside. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0688172172?v=glance   (2472 words)

PPS 96' - Ramachandran Plot G N Ramachandran used computer models of small polypeptides to systematically vary phi and psi with the objective of finding stable conformations. Glycine has no side chain and therefore can adopt phi and psi angles in all four quadrants of the Ramachandran plot. Disallowed regions generally involve steric hindrance between the side chain C-beta methylene group and main chain atoms. www.cryst.bbk.ac.uk /PPS2/course/section3/rama.html   (334 words)
