In order for a neuron to transmit its own signal, it must first be sufficiently activated by incoming signals from other neurons via its dendrites. Then, an action potential is generated in its ...

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

Together with the artificial neural networks of McCulloch and Pitts ... including the shape and propagation of the action potential, its sharp threshold, refractory period, anode-break excitation ...

Discover the untapped potential of the brain’s adaptability. Learn how neuroplasticity reshapes cognitive abilities at any ...

Forget the traditional tubular shape—researchers are investigating a pearl-on-a-string formation for axons, unlocking new ...

Our knowledge of the structure of voltage-dependent K + (Kv) channels, which shape the neuronal action potential, has come largely from studies of prokaryotic channels, which can be expressed at ...

Researchers at Princeton Neuroscience Institute recently carried out a study investigating the neural ... to action. Their ...
