The two areas of the adult brain that have an outside layer of gray matter along with the central gray matter and surrounding white matter. Introduction: The brain is filled with neurons. The outer layer of the brain has the cell bodies of the neurons and is known as gray matter. On the other hand, the inner layer is filled with axons of the neurons and is known as white matter. Gray matter and white matter arepresent in every part of the brain, except in the brain stem and spinal cord. In these regions, white matter is present as an outer layer and gray matter as an inner layer.

To review:

The two areas of the adult brain that have an outside layer of gray matter along with the central gray matter and surrounding white matter.

Introduction:

The brain is filled with neurons. The outer layer of the brain has the cell bodies of the neurons and is known as gray matter. On the other hand, the inner layer is filled with axons of the neurons and is known as white matter. Gray matter and white matter arepresent in every part of the brain, except in the brain stem and spinal cord. In these regions, white matter is present as an outer layer and gray matter as an inner layer.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
