This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

changing the strength of the signal that is passed down the plasma membrane. This process continues from contact site to contact site all along the dendrite to the cell body, where the neuron ...

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

A research team led by Professor Kazuaki Sawada and Project Assistant Professor Hideo Doi of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Information Engineering, Toyohashi University of Technology has ...
