Accelerated signal propagation speed in human neocortical dendrites
eLifeHuman-specific cognitive abilities depend on information processing in the cerebral cortex, where the neurons are significantly larger and their processes longer and sparser compared to rodents.

Response of the brain to enrichment
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2001 Before 1960, the brain was considered by scientists to be immutable, subject only to genetic control. In the early sixties, however, investigators were seriously speculating that environmental influences might be capable of altering brain structure.

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective The objective of this study was to describe the longitudinal disease course and pulmonary outcomes of North American patients with melanoma differentiation–associated protein 5 (MDA5) antibody–associated dermatomyositis (DM). Methods Thirty patients with MDA5 antibody–associated DM were identified in a single‐center longitudinal cohort of 352

The Actin/Spectrin Membrane-Associated Periodic Skeleton in Neurons
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2018 Neurons are the most asymmetric cell types, with their axons commonly extending over lengths that are thousand times longer than the diameter of the cell soma.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Powder metal processing provides scalable advantages in nanoporous (np) metal development. Mechanical alloying is used to produce unique precursors for hybrid nanopore formation by oxide reduction and dealloying. As demonstrated in np Ag, this approach improves process efficiency while promoting smaller ligaments and larger pores, both of which are ...

Computing threshold functions using dendrites
, 2016 Neurons, modeled as linear threshold unit (LTU), can in theory compute all thresh- old functions. In practice, however, some of these functions require synaptic weights of arbitrary large precision.

A conserved morphogenetic mechanism for epidermal ensheathment of nociceptive sensory neurites. [PDF]
, 2019 Interactions between epithelial cells and neurons influence a range of sensory modalities including taste, touch, and smell. Vertebrate and invertebrate epidermal cells ensheath peripheral arbors of somatosensory neurons, including nociceptors, yet the ...

Crossover Scaling in Dendritic Evolution at Low Undercooling
, 1999 We examine scaling in two-dimensional simulations of dendritic growth at low undercooling, as well as in three-dimensional pivalic acid dendrites grown on NASA's USMP-4 Isothermal Dendritic Growth Experiment.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study demonstrates an efficient recycling route for out‐of‐spec AlSi10Mg atomized powders through compaction and arc remelting followed by suction casting. By correlating compaction load, cooling rate, and resulting microstructure, we show that intermediate pressures (50–80 kN) and rapid cooling refine dendrites, reduce porosity, and enhance ...
