Approximately 100 billion neurons in our brain form 100 trillion synapses onto 100,000 miles of dendritic cable. Accordingly, dendritic defects are consistent anatomical correlates of numerous brain ...

Pyramidal neurons have basal and apical dendrites, including an apical tuft. This preserved core structure suggests that they have conserved core functions, whereas structural variation in other areas ...

Figure 1: Subcellular patch-clamp recording from dendrites and axons of CA3 pyramidal neurons. Figure 2: Action potentials backpropagate into the dendrites of CA3 pyramidal neurons with large ...

Abstract: Dendrites carry signals between synapses and the soma and play a central role in neural computation. Although they contain many nonlinear ion channels, their signal-transfer properties are ...

Purkinje cell dendrites filter inputs into the cell, demonstrating a new learning mechanism in the cerebellum Kyoto, Japan -- In mere milliseconds trillions of chemical reactions ignite signals that ...

Macroautophagy (hereafter "autophagy") is a lysosomal degradation pathway that is important for learning and memory, suggesting critical roles for autophagy at the neuronal synapse. Little is known, ...

This study provides valuable observations indicating that human pyramidal neurons propagate information as fast as rat pyramidal neurons despite their larger size. Convincing evidence demonstrates ...

While the reason why Samsung Galaxy Note 7s have been catching fire has yet to be confirmed, the focus is on the device’s lithium-ion batteries. And those familiar with this technology have begun ...

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 the ...
