This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

A higher intake of fruits, vegetables, legumes, and potatoes was associated with a lower risk of Crohn's disease, while ...

Ketamine leads to increased communication between areas of the brain that don't typically engage with each other, new ...

One "idealized" scenario analyzed how precipitation patterns might change if atmospheric CO2 increased at a rate of 1% per year for 140 years, then decreased at the same rate for another 140 years ...

Capturing the functionality of active dendritic processing into abstract mathematical models will help us to understand the role of complex biophysical neurons in neuronal computation and to build ...

These dendrites are not uniform; instead, they are organized into distinct compartments with specialized anatomical and biophysical properties, which likely influence how various patterns of ...

Shedding light on how the brain fine-tunes its wiring during learning, a new study finds that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow distinct rules. The findings challenge the idea ...

Dendritic structures, or tree-like branching patterns that emerge during growth, pose a major challenge to large-area fabrication of thin-film devices, a key step toward commercial application. They ...

The challenge of dendrite growth is a formidable obstacle that leads to short circuits when charging lithium (Li)-metal batteries. Implementing patterns with various pit structures on Li metal proves ...
