Electrical Inexcitability of the Frog Neuromuscular Synapse [PDF]

The Journal of General Physiology, 1963
Frog muscle endplates were explored with an extracellular microelectrode. An intracellular microelectrode nearby simultaneously monitored invasion of the endplate by a spike directly evoked by a third microelectrode placed away from the endplate in the same fiber.

Bio‐Derived Polyelectrolyte Additive–Induced Interfacial Ion‐Diffusion Barriers for Nonvolatile Organic Artificial Synapses

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Sodium alginate regulates interfacial ion transport and retention in electrolyte‐gated synaptic transistors. The carboxylate‐rich polymeric network forms a dynamic interfacial ion‐diffusion barrier that facilitates ion injection during programming while suppressing ion back‐diffusion, thereby stabilizing the electrochemically doped channel state.

The symphony of smell: a role for electrical synapses [PDF]

The Journal of Physiology, 2017
Rhythmic electrical activities are ubiquitous in the brain and inextricably tied to neural circuit operations. Macroscopic oscillations in extracellular voltage – the local field potential (LFP) – are commonly observed and span a wide frequency spectrum (∼1.5 – 100 Hz). This article is protected by copyright.

Noise‐Limited Bit Precision in Ferroelectric Synaptic Transistors for High‐Resolution Neuromorphic Computing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Low‐frequency noise spectroscopy defines the resolvable conductance states of synaptic FeFETs by coupling read‐current fluctuation with usable dynamic range. The resulting noise‐limited bit precision establishes a universal, device‐agnostic reliability metric beyond the memory window, enabling quantitative benchmarking and rational design of high ...

Gap Junctions Between Striatal D1 Neurons and Cholinergic Interneurons

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
The striatum participates in numerous important behaviors. Its principal projection neurons use GABA and peptides as neurotransmitters and interact extensively with interneurons, including cholinergic interneurons (ChIs) that are tonically active ...

Inhibition potentiates the synchronizing action of electrical synapses [PDF]

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2007
In vivo and in vitro experimental studies have found that blocking electrical interactions connecting GABAergic interneurons reduces oscillatory activity in the gamma range in cortex. However, recent theoretical works have shown that the ability of electrical synapses to promote or impede synchrony, when alone, depends on their location on the ...

Two Coexisting Pathways to Volatility in Valence‐Change Memory Devices

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Volatile VCM‐type memristive devices exhibit current relaxation after resistive switching, but their microscopic origin remains debated. Using pulsed measurements and a new Tunnel‐DLTS approach on Pt/SrTiO3/Nb:SrTiO3 devices, we show that post‐SET volatility is predominantly ionic, while electronic contributions—arising from quasi‐Fermi‐level ...

Asymmetry of an intracellular scaffold at vertebrate electrical synapses [PDF]

Current Biology, 2017
Abstract Neuronal synaptic connections are electrical or chemical and together are essential to dynamically defining neural circuit function. While chemical synapses are well known for their biochemical complexity, electrical synapses are often viewed as comprised solely of neuronal gap junction channels that allow ...

Light‐Induced Field‐Tunneling Synapses in Solution‐Processed Van Der Waals Heterostructures for Scalable, Retina‐Inspired Optical Sensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable, solution‐processed WSe2/ZrO2‐x van der Waals heterostructure realizes a light‐induced field‐tunneling synapse (LIFTS) that activates exclusively under bright illumination, emulating the photopic adaptation of the human retina at the device level.
