Dendrites may help neurons perform complicated calculations Different types of these branch-like projections process incoming information in different ways before sending it to the body of the ...

Researchers at MIT have demonstrated how dendrites — branch-like extensions that protrude from neurons — help neurons perform computations on information that comes in from other parts of the ...

But dendrites are also a problem in batteries that use solid electrolytes. Solid electrolytes avoid the need to use flammable solvents, which makes the battery safer.

Battery dendrites are not caused by electrical origins, but instead have mechanical sources. The dendrites propagate due to fracture of the electrolyte and subsequent crack filling-in. Stresses on ...

This gave rise to dendrites that resemble split ends upon split ends that you might experience on an extremely bad hair day. Surprisingly organized “Turbulent flow is highly disorganized; nevertheless ...

Dendrites are almost like branches that extend out from neurons to complete the synaptic connections that allow neurons to communicate and pass along impulses in the brain. These cortical dendrites ...

Dendrites can also be beneficial to the battery's process, the team found. If the dendrites grow in an even carpet over the battery's interior, remaining small, they can keep more lithium in play ...

Dendrites—branching structures that look like tree limbs—are fun to draw and good on neurons, but they're generally best avoided in lithium-ion batteries. As ions are exchanged between the ...

Dendrites pose an even more significant problem for emerging types of batteries, called lithium anode-based batteries and lithium-air batteries. Whereas the anodes in today’s batteries are made of ...

This study describes the properties of dendritic electrogenesis in rat hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neurons and distinguishes the functional differences between proximal dendrites and distal ...

Figure 5: Dendrites originate from the apical process, at or proximal to the OPL. (a) Cross-sections of Grm6-GFP retinas at various ages labeled with anti-GFP.
