Sentences with phrase «by synaptic inputs»

In the journal Physics of Life Reviews, Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose suggest that quantum vibrational computations in microtubules (components of a cell's structure) are «orchestrated» by synaptic inputs and memory, and terminated by «objective reduction».

Not exact matches

Each cell type is defined by its chemical constituents, neuronal morphology, synaptic architecture and input - output processing.

Previous research by Burger and Stefan Oline — a former Ph.D. candidate at Lehigh, now a postdoctoral fellow at New York University Medical School — demonstrated for the first time that synaptic inputs — the messages being sent between cells — are distinct across frequencies and that these different impulse patterns are «mapped» onto the cells of the cochlear nucleus.

As a rule, EEG signals are generated by synchronized synaptic input to the dendrites of neurons arranged in a layer.

Based on evidence from electrophysiological studies showing that both synaptic plasticity and strength of inputs to hippocampal region CA1 vary systematically with ongoing theta oscillations (Hyman et al., 2003; Brankack et al., 1993), it has been suggested that the theta rhythm functions to separate periods of encoding of current sensory stimuli and retrieval of episodic memory cued by current stimuli so as to avoid interference that would occur if encoding and retrieval were simultaneous.

Research is beginning to show that Hypocretin Neurons are excited by excitatory synaptic currents and asymmetric synapses with minimum inhibitory input.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5 may feature improved gesture recognition and support for passive stylus input thanks to an advanced touch controller supplied by Synaptics.
