These conditions lead to a sudden wave of neuronal firing that was followed by neuronal silence. Since brainstem areas that are necessary for generating the breathing rhythm were also involved ...

At first glance, the CL1 looks like a rather unconventional PC with a small, horizontal form factor. But that's where the ...

A team of researchers from the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) has reshaped the future of ...

“This work takes the concept of correlated [neuronal] firing patterns in a new and important causal direction,” David Kleinfeld, a neurophysicist at the University of California, San Diego, who was ...

The laboratory of Ege Kavalali, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, published a paper in Nature ...

Neurons communicate with one another in two ways: via binary signals called action potentials, or spikes, and through neuron firing known as “burst firing.” Burst firing occurs when the neuron ...

Researchers developed a nanoscale quantum resonant tunnelling diode that mimics a sensory neuron, detecting light, processing ...

Sensory neurons that respond to temperature, touch and pain have ways of adapting to repeated stimuli that can change how a body experiences those sensations. In a recent paper published in the ...

Having one traumatic experience is bad enough. If you've constantly experienced stress since before birth, you may be in for ...

In sensory processing, a neuron's firing rate and the timing of the spikes relative to the stimulus onset together encode information. In reality, however, stimuli are often ongoing, raising the ...
