Researchers have demonstrated how dendrites -- branch-like extensions that protrude from neurons -- help neurons perform computations on information that comes in from other parts of the brain.

It had been previously shown by other researchers that around 5% of CA1 pyramidal cells had axons shooting out of their apical dendrites. In other words, the upper regions of the extended cell.

Researchers at MIT have demonstrated how dendrites — branch-like extensions that protrude from neurons — help neurons perform computations on information that comes in from other parts of the ...

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a crucial part of the mammalian brain, known to be involved in decision-making, planning, complex social behavior and integrating the activity of other brain regions.

Battery dendrites are not caused by electrical origins, but instead have mechanical sources. The dendrites propagate due to fracture of the electrolyte and subsequent crack filling-in. Stresses on ...

Dendrites are spiky structures that accumulate on the batteries' anodes. These structures reduce the life of the batteries, hinder their ability to hold a charge and can short-circuit machines ...

(Dendrites were found in the batteries related to the Boeing 787 battery fires that happened in 2014, for example.) But researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, ...

Dendrites pose an even more significant problem for emerging types of batteries, called lithium anode-based batteries and lithium-air batteries. Whereas the anodes in today’s batteries are made of ...

This gave rise to dendrites that resemble split ends upon split ends that you might experience on an extremely bad hair day. Surprisingly organized “Turbulent flow is highly disorganized; nevertheless ...

Dendrites – thin conductive filaments that form inside lithium batteries – reduce the life of these cells and are often responsible for them catching fire. Now researchers claim to have ...
