A key feature that appears to facilitate neuroplasticity is the distinct nature of neurons compared to other cells.

Saffron shows promise as a natural treatment for depression and cognitive decline, performing as well as standard drugs in ...

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 ...

Synaptic transmission is the biological process by which a neuron communicates with a target cell across a synapse. Chemical synaptic transmission involves the release of a neurotransmitter from ...

Cleft lips are usually diagnosed during the 20 week screening scan during pregnancy, although not all cleft lips are obvious on this scan. Cleft palates are hard to detect on an ultrasound scan.

Palpate the hard and soft palates with a gloved finger to rule out the presence of a hard or soft palate cleft (Fig 3). Assess the infant's suck; note the pattern, coordination, and strength of ...

Region-specific and sex-dependent impairments observed in excitatory synaptic transmission constitute a plausible synaptic mechanism underlying behavioral inflexibility in LBN mice. These findings can ...

As artificial synaptic transistor devices become increasingly important in simulating biological synaptic functions, it is crucial to design high-performance synaptic transistor memory using a facile ...

Recent advances in neuromorphic resistive switching have enabled us to start emulating biological synapses and neurons. A liquid switching medium brings these devices even closer to brain-like systems ...
