Researchers 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 brain.

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

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 ...

Activity in dendrites critical in memory formation Date: October 26, 2014 Source: Northwestern University Summary: Researchers have discovered how neurons in the brain might allow some experiences ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

The long 3’ sequence was sufficient to target a green fluorescent protein reporter mRNA to dendrites, and that the message was translated there. To follow up these findings in vivo, the researchers ...

Dendrites – the branch-like projections extending from neurons – serve a critical role in how information is processed, receiving incoming information and passing it to the neuronal cell body.

Dendrites – thin conductive filaments that form inside lithium batteries – reduce the life of these cells and are often responsible for them catching fire. Now researchers claim to have ...

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 ...
