Each year, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), millions of people in the U.S. are affected by spinal cord ...

Understanding key concepts in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology can be challenging for many Class 10 students. However, ...

That’s a simple way to put it. But we aren’t born with electrodes implanted on our brains that stimulate a neuron’s axons, dendrites, or their neural networks. Research on deep brain ...

This important work investigates how two distinct processes, morphological changes and synaptic plasticity, contribute to the final shape of neuronal dendrites and the spatial structure of their ...

The lone axon of each pyramidal neuron typically ... the logarithmic colour scale), but the local amplitude for synapses on smaller dendrites is considerably larger. Proximal basal, apical oblique ...

Here, we propose a mechanistic model in which dendrite growth and the organization of synapses arise from the interaction of activity-independent cues from potential synaptic partners and local ...

Coordination of dendrite growth with changes in the surrounding substrate occurs widely in the nervous system and is vital for establishing and maintaining neural circuits. However, the molecular ...

A typical neuron will have thousands of dendrites, with each connecting to an axon of another neuron. The connection is called a synapse but is not a physical one. There is a gap between the ends ...

Using computational tools we explored the impact of local synaptic inhibition on the plasticity of excitatory synapses in dendrites. The latter critically depends on the intracellular concentration of ...
