Aided by the black reaction, Golgi discovered the branching of the axon and found that, contrary to Gerlach's theory, dendrites are not fused in a network. Golgi, however, failed to go beyond the ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

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 ...

New research shows that low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can restore key synaptic structures ...

Each neuron had the following compartments outlined: soma, dendrite (15 μm away from the soma, 15 μm in length, three to four dendrites analyzed per neuron), and AIS (defined as described by Evans et ...
