Learning and memory are important in our daily lives, whether that is remembering how to make dinner or write a report for work. When you study for a course, prepare to make use of what you’ve learned, take a test or complete an assignment, what exactly is going on in your brain? Which parts of the brain are involved, and how do they interact with each other? As time goes by, the learning and memories that you have acquired change in how they are stored and retrieved. Most of the time, this is beneficial, as you can add to things you already know. However, this can also be problematic, as in the case of traumatic memories. Researchers are expanding our understanding of how memory works, how we might improve it, and how we might erase memory. As an example of how relevant these questions are, Eric Kandel was awarded the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work to understand the biological basis of memory.

Memory can be divided, roughly, into working memory, formerly known as short-term memory, and long-term memory. On the biological level, there is a model of how learning changes the synapses of individual neurons. In this Assignment, you will first describe that model, known as long-term potentiation (LTP). You will then identify a recent peer-reviewed article (published within the past 5 years) from the Walden library that extends this understanding of the cellular basis of memory. Areas to consider include revisions to the LTP model, the basis of long-term memory, ways to improve memory, or ways to erase memory.

To prepare for this Assignment:

• Review the Learning Resources focusing on learning and memory paying special attention to how brain cells change when learning takes place.
• Identify a recent peer-reviewed article from the Walden Library published within the past 5 years that addresses the cellular basis of memory.

The Assignment (2–4 pages):

• First, consider the cellular basis of long-term potentiation (LTP). Where in the brain does this occur and what happens? In your answer, include details of the neurotransmitters and receptors involved as well as what happens at the level of the receptor to enable LTP. Also, describe the changes that occur in both the presynaptic and post-synaptic cells as a result of LTP.
• Then, find and summarize a recent (published within the last 5 years) peer-reviewed article from the Walden Library about the cellular basis of memory. The article can be about either working memory or long-term memory, but should describe research that has been done to understand how memory works, how the memory processes might be improved, or how one might be able to erase memory. Summarize the article in enough detail that your reader will understand what was done in the study and what the results of the study were (similar to the articles you found in BioPsychology.com in the first week). Describe how the research article you described extends our understanding of these processes.
• Evaluate how the findings might apply to a clinical setting, such as Alzheimer’s disease, anterograde or retrograde amnesia, or a condition such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You should include in-text citations in the body of your Assignment as well as complete references in APA format at the end of your Assignment.

• (1) How did the Industrial Revolution transform people’s daily lives? Be sure to include sanitation and labor.
• (2) How do Burke and Hare illustrate the changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution?
• (3) The following quote from Jaques Barzun’s From Dawn to Decadence addresses the railroad. Discuss the impact of the railroad on daily lives or on the Industrial Revolution. In what ways did locomotion create a technological transformation for humanity as a whole – at least in the areas where it existed?
  • “At first, machinery affected only those who organized its use and the men and women who worked in factories. But by 1830 a different type of machine came into being that changed the life and the minds of all peoples. The memory of it is nearly gone, but it was the completest change in human experience since the nomadic tribes became rooted in one spot to grow grain and raise cattle; it was in effect a reversal of that settling down. Locomotion by the force of steam, the railroad, uprooted mankind and made of it individual nomads again.” (Jacques Barzun, From Dawn to Decadence: 1500 to the Present: 500 Years of Western Cultural Life (New York: HarperCollins, 2000), 539)

PEER RESPONSES:

The importance of developing metrics and KPIs in logistics and supply chain operations is very crucial for the success of the company which is the reason why it is discussed all the time in meetings as it determines the company’s feedback based on their ratings. It gives you an incite of your performance on managing you fleet, the utilization factor if you vehicles, the delivered cost per unit, the company ’s efficiency concerning dispatch and distributions and also the fulfillment rates.

The metrics helps to identify problems or situations that can be improved and provides information to take actions over them. If it can be measured it can be improved. It helps us be more efficient, productive and improve our position against our competitors. One of the main thing is the ability to implement, monitor and evaluate with consistency.

The KPIs you require to measure your performance to prove your productivity and proficiency. You basically have to determine what you really want to measure and check if it is useful to increment the efficiency and productivity of your business because all that can be measured may not actually be useful. One of the key issues of an organization is to implement systems that can deliver indicators of the performance that are held both internally and externally, as you consider the entire supply chain. For example the inventory, storage, transport, distribution and customer service.

In addition, the supply chain performance metric gives a different view of the supply chain. The important decision for all businesses or organizations is to verify and allocate which supply chain metrics are most important and how they can be utilized. Many companies use supply chain performance metrics that are easy to calculate but may not necessarily give a true indication of how the supply chain is performing. Sometimes companies use different metrics for their logistics department to apply, however other parts of the supply chain may be negatively impacted.

Companies have to be mindful of their selection of metrics for department to adhere to in order for positive and successful feedback.

As stated metrics indicate success when it is understandable, quantity which is expressed by a value that is objective derived from accurate data and not subjective. Measures the main importance of the data. Also consuming to collect and may require time to be taken away from line staff to prepare. This can be counterproductive therefore these types of metrics should be avoided. It is beneficial for the company because it causes correct behavior and improvement within employees and departments.

The importance of developing metrics and KPIs in logistics and supply chain operations is very important for day to day operations of any company. If you do not use these metrics and KPIs then it would make it very difficult to keep up with how the company is performing. KPIs immediately give you feedback and shows you what may be going wrong. Getting answers like this will make it easier for you to address a situation before it gets beyond your control. This helps the company to provide the consistency they want their company to have and show to their customers. Now some of the things that the KPI measures are not necessarily important, so you have to make sure to eliminate the items that you do not need for your company. Otherwise these categories can take up space and possibly give you incorrect information because of the information being put together. The supply chain performance is important because it helps you to really see how the company is doing and then uses different metrics to figure out what may need to be fixed or changed. Once you get those particular things fixed or changed then it will help the company to grow and produce better results. You have to keep testing different things with different metrics because different metrics could come up with different results. So you have to make sure that the results you are getting are accurate. This also helps to let you know if one metric says something is wrong but another metric says it has to be like this for a different aspect to work, then from there, the company can decide which one is more important and what they would rather have ding so well. Now there are some metrics that can stop production, so you want to make sure to stay away from those metrics, otherwise you could lose out on money.
