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

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

While whisker plucking prevents the maturation of feedforward inhibition onto excitatory neurons in the barrel cortex (Chittajallu and Isaac, 2010), the mechanisms engaged in driving GABAergic synapse ...

These methods can be used to resolve functional connectivity among brain regions. For example, EEG detects spontaneous or evoked electrical activity from the scalp with low spatial resolution (cm ...

Jan. 30, 2025 — Researchers verified the chiral-induced spin selectivity effect, i.e., the influence of chiral molecules on spin, using spintronic analytical ...

Jan. 30, 2025 — Shorter protective caps on chromosomes called telomeres, a proposed marker of accelerated biological cell aging, may be associated with an increased risk of stroke, dementia and ...

Synaptic plasticity is the biological process by which specific patterns of synaptic activity result in changes in synaptic strength and is thought to contribute to learning and memory. Both pre ...
