Presynaptic NMDA receptors can shape timing-dependent long-term depression in a way that departs from their classic postsynaptic role.

Abstract: The brain-inspired Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) work in an event-driven manner and have an implicit recurrence in neuronal membrane potential to memorize information over time, which are ...

We find that the membrane potential computed by the Cable equation ... The standard way of computing the extracellular potential surrounding a neuron is a two-step process: (a) solve the Cable ...

Neurons conduct electrical impulses by using the Action Potential. This phenomenon is generated through the flow of positively charged ions across the neuronal membrane. I'll explain..... This ...

These findings implicate nuclear polyQ aggregate-induced loss of NE integrity as a potential contributing ... of the nerve cells had breaks in the membrane that separates the nucleus from the ...

"Using a novel metabolic labeling technique, we found that those two processes are controlled by two enzymes that generate ceramide at the plasma membrane ... in neuronal cells, but plan to ...

The brain is a complex network containing billions of neurons (nerve cells). The soma of each of these neurons (communicates simultaneously with thousands of others via their synapses and collects ...

Each neuron is connected to another 1,000 neurons ... this is referred to as the membrane potential. It is usually -70 millivolts (mV). When the cell body of a nerve receives enough signals ...

So, we wondered if we could tune neuron excitability by changing membrane capacitance," Liu ... but you could imagine potential therapeutic applications." More information: Chanan D.
