The field of neuroscience has long been intrigued by the complex dynamics of neurons in the cerebral cortex, particularly the transformation of synaptic ...

In the second layer, the dendritic trunk and the soma linearly sum the output of the subunits and compare the result to the threshold for action potential firing. Although the model does not ...

Figure 2: Dendritic distribution of active channels in different neuron types. These channels are involved in the repolarization phase of the action potential, and contribute to the control of ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...
