Sentences with phrase «synaptic inputs»

A neuron typically receives a variety of synaptic inputs from its neighbors: some that excite it to send a message and others that inhibit that communication.

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».

Current projects include modeling the biophysical mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity and learning in dendritic trees, the dynamics of neuronal networks in the outer plexiform layer of the retina, and modeling the integration of multiple synaptic inputs in muscle fiber.

Burger and his colleagues have assembled what is known about the optimal electrical properties and synaptic inputs into a single cohesive model, laying the groundwork needed to investigate some of the big questions in the field of auditory neuroscience.

In neurons of DIXDC1 mutant mice (center) the dendrites — neural antennae that receive input from other brain cells — have fewer of the dendritic spines (white with red arrows)-- the receiving half of most synaptic inputs — compared to dendrites in wild type mice (left).

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

In Vivo Analysis of Inhibitory Synaptic Inputs and Rebounds in Deep Cerebellar Nuclear Neurons.

Receptive field plasticity profoundly alters the cutaneous parallel fiber synaptic input to cerebellar interneurons in vivo.

In each case, animals that had previously received paired training showed significant facilitation of synaptic input to motor neurons during test stimulation in the presence of the conditioned stimulus.

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.

These data suggest that APP / PS1 mutations result in a reduced axonal Vc, potentially disrupting the timing of synaptic inputs.

Since most neurons receive thousands of synaptic inputs, the neuronal membrane is a mosaic of specialized microdomains where neurotransmitter receptors cluster in register with the corresponding presynaptic neurotransmitter release sites.

Rather, it's the synaptic inputs connected to the motor neurons that age and cause bodily decay.

Winfried Denk has devised two experimental innovations of broad impact to studies of how individual neurons respond to synaptic inputs.

Here, we can see that a device labeled simply «Dell Touchpad» is in fact a Synaptics input device.
