There are few scientific methods more elegantly simple than "just sprinkle it on top." Researchers at Tohoku University and ...

A team has made a major breakthrough in the field of three-dimensional (3D) imaging of large-scale biological tissues. They ...

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 ...

Our results show temporal changes in brain infiltration of peripheral lymphoid and myeloid cells, increases in microglial activation markers and phagocytic functions at the pre-symptomatic stages of ...

A pre-synaptic cell was considered to be connected to the post-synaptic cell if in at least two of the four repetitions, a clear and obvious post-synaptic inhibitory current (IPSC) was observed.

Abstract Long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic strength can be induced by synchronous pre- and post-synaptic activation, and a rise in postsynaptic calcium is essential for induction of LTP.
