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 ...

Scientists have long known that the brain's visual system isn't fully hardwired from the start—it becomes refined by what ...

Scientists have long known that the brain's visual system isn't fully hardwired from the start—it becomes refined by what babies see—but the authors ...

Dendrites are chains of lithium ions that form due to chemical reactions on the surface of the anode. Battery anodes undergo lithium plating and stripping processes during charge and discharge cycles.

Abstract The topological structure of minimal sets of continuous maps on graphs, dendrites and dendroids is studied. A full characterization of minimal sets on graphs and a partial characterization of ...

Zinc and copper ions can modulate the activity of glutamate receptors. However, labile zinc and copper ions likely represent only the tip of the iceberg and other neuronal functions are suspected for ...

Batteries are key in the success of clean energy conversion. A major advancement in battery technology will eventually ...

WHEN stained by the Golgi or methylene-blue method for light microscopy, certain dendrites of the cerebral cortex and elsewhere appear to have numerous spinous projections1. The nature of these ...

A team of researchers in South Korea has made a major breakthrough with lithium-metal batteries (LMBs). According to TechXplore, researchers affiliated with the Ulsan National Institute of Science and ...

Scientists at RMIT University in Melbourne (Australia) have created a recyclable water battery by replacing the dangerous ...

Huawei patented a sulfide-based solid-state battery that promises up to 3,000 km of range, but rough calculations show this ...
