With the strong associations established in epidemiologic studies and a dearth of evidence on the actual mechanisms by which ...

This happens even though there is no gap junction, at chemical synapses. The generated electrical field is simulated to show ... key features of experimental data pertaining to synaptic function. As ...

Figure 1 Schematic illustration of the morphology and the function of TMs. Tumor microtube is a continuation of the membrane of a glioma cell and extends to another cell separated with gap junctions ...

Neurons generate and propagate electrical pulses called ... of target potential in an end-end synapse. The y-axis denotes the position along the target where y = 0 refers to the tip of the target at ...

Pitt researchers hypothesized that a targeted epidural electrical stimulation therapy could be used to rescue lost nerve cell function by amplifying sensory inputs to the motor neurons and ...

Scientists have developed a versatile platform with an electrically controlled nano-gate that can be used for applications in sensing, chemical synthesis, memristors, and neuromorphic computing. The ...

The Dorsetshire Gap, the target of this walk, is a junction of ancient trackways at a natural break in the high ridge between Nordon Hill and Nettlecombe Tout. The same routes still converge at ...

Thus, identifying classes and subclasses of interneurons is an important step towards understanding how inhibition shapes cortical function ... chemical content or electrical activities, leaving ...

The team found that these electrical synapses don’t simply transmit signals, they also act as a “filter.” In worms with normal INX-1 function, the electrical connection effectively dampens signals ...

In order to improve the fault diagnosis accuracy of electrical drive systems ... and scaling factor activation function, called GVSD-ESN. The main work of this study contains: 1) the novel scaling ...

We show how recent advanced microelectrode array measurement methods facilitate the understanding of single neurons as well as network function. Studying the function ... For example, EEG detects ...
