Connections made via apical synapses seemed to be strengthened by movement information more than those made via basal ...

As you experience or encounter new things, your brain must encode this information via the right neural networks at the right ...

In contrast, plasticity in basal dendrites was linked to the neuron's overall output—strengthening or weakening depending on how synapse activity aligned with global action potential firing.

Each dendrite on a neuron is covered with tiny bulbous appendages, called dendritic spines, and at the end of each dendritic ...

Our research investigates how these liquid-like properties contribute to the main function of the neuron in synaptic ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

2). However, agrin itself is not necessary for the formation of neuron–neuron synapses. This has led to an intensive search for trans-neuronal inducers. Among the candidates are cadherins ...

Synaptic transmission is the biological process by which a neuron communicates with a target cell across a synapse. Chemical synaptic transmission involves the release of a neurotransmitter from ...

In the antennae of Drosophila melanogaster, olfactory neurons are bundled into fluid-filled hairs called sensilla. Each sensillum contains two to four neurons, which are all tuned to different smells ...

We specifically focus on the role of microglia and astrocytes in reorganization of synapses and neural circuits. We aim to reveal the underlying mechanisms by which the brain adapts to its environment ...

Making the transistor operate as a neuron or synapse is as simple as selecting the appropriate resistance for the bulk terminal. The physical phenomenon of "impact ionisation" had traditionally ...
