Proteins are degraded on a time scale that ranges from minutes to days. Maintenance of memories that may last a lifetime requires more stable alterations, such as those associated with persistent changes in gene expression. A recently discovered family of genes called immediate early genes (IEGs), which are activated rapidly by brief bursts of action potentials, may provide a crucial link. As expected of master switches that initiate long-term changes in the brain, IEGs encode transcription factors, proteins that regulate the expression of other genes. 1, record 1, English, - immediate%20early%20gene

Comme les protéines sont rapidement dégradées (en quelques jours, parfois même en quelques minutes), la conservation de souvenirs qui perdurent la vie entière requiert des modifications plus stables, comme celles qui sont associées à des changements de l'expression des gènes. La récente découverte d'une famille de gènes, nommés gènes précoces immédiats, qui sont activés rapidement par de brèves rafales de potentiels d'action, pourrait être fondamentale; fonctionnant comme des commutateurs principaux qui déclenchent des changements à long terme dans le cerveau, les gènes précoces immédiats codent des facteurs de transcription des protéines qui régulent l'expression d'autres gènes. 1, record 1, French, - g%C3%A8ne%20pr%C3%A9coce%20imm%C3%A9diat

coolant: Sometimes called anti-freeze, this is a solution of inhibited ethylene glycol or inhibited propylene glycol plus water that circulates through the system to keep the engine cool. It's also a rust and corrosion inhibitor. Ethylene glycol or propylene glycol is only the anti-freeze part. The corrosion inhibitor is a chemical additive typically TT (tolytriazole) or nitrites as sodium nitrite. 4, record 2, English, - inhibited%20ethylene%20glycol

Antifreeze, Inhibited Ethylene Glycol. Ethylene glycol is used for freeze protection of the coolant. IEG, commonly referred to as "antifreeze," also contains chemicals that provide a limited pretection against corrosion. The use of an IEG product with a low silicate formulation that meets ASTM D 3306 or GM 6043M requirements is recommended. 5, record 2, English, - inhibited%20ethylene%20glycol
