state to another. The diagram below illustrates theof a nucleus. A potential energy well represents a force-field and in this case it represents the force-field that holds the nucleons in the nucleus - this is thenuclear force. This attractive force overcomes the repulsive Coulomb force between...

a nucleonP= (–1)l]. The energy of the level does not depend on the projection of the angular momentum on the external axis. Therefore, in accordance with the Pauli exclusion principle, there can be (2j+ 1) identical nucleons (protons and neutrons) that form a “shell” (j,l) at...
Diagram showing the process of nuclear fusion. Credit: Lancaster University In the case of removing electrons from an atom, a molecule, or an ion, the energy required is known as “electron binding energy” (aka. ionization potential). In general, the binding energy of a single proton or ne...

The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is considered a hub of reward processing and a growing body of evidence has suggested its crucial role in the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD). However, inconsistent results have been reported by studies on reward network-focused resting-state functional...
interactions with coactivators and corepressors[4]. Mechanistically, pathways by which nuclear receptors regulate gene expression are remarkably complex and the reader is encouraged to review the literature for further in-depth information[4,16–19]. A detailed diagram of the overall nuclear receptor...
