We often think the brain is like a muscle – we say things like “use it or lose it!”, and we talk about exercising or “training” our brains. In reality, actual brain tissue looks pretty much nothing ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the ...

By day 15, when the asymmetric dendrite pattern was already established, the lateral polarization diminished. Researchers also looked at the placement of the Golgi apparatus within the dendrites.

Dielectric capacitors have become critical components in advanced electronic systems because they have both a high-power density and an ultrafast charge-discharge mechanism. However, as advanced ...

Memory loss in aging and dementia: Dendritic spine head diameter predicts memory in old age This finding suggests that therapy to remodel synapses could help memory in old age and dementia ...

Interestingly, we couple the temperature field to investigate the effect of initial temperature on Li dendrite morphology, and give a unified picture for the seemingly contradictory dendrite ...

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 ...
