Fabrication and evaluation of conductive elastomer electrodes for neural stimulation
Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, 2007This study explored the feasibility of applying nanocomposites derived from conducting organic polymers and silicone elastomers to fabricate electrodes for neural stimulation. A novel combination of nanoparticulate polypyrrole polymerized within a processable elastomeric silicone host polymer was evaluated in vitro and in vivo.

Conducting Polymers in Neural Stimulation Applications
2009With advances in neural prostheses, the demand for high-resolution and site-specific stimulation is driving microelectrode research to develop electrodes that are much smaller in area and longer in lifetime. For such arrays, the choice of electrode material has become increasingly important.

Learning population of spiking neural networks with perturbation of conductances
The 2013 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN), 2013In this paper a method is presented for learning of spiking neural networks. It is based on perturbation of synaptic conductances. While this approach is known to be model-free, it is also known to be slow, because it applies improvement direction estimates with large variance.

Excitable Membranes and Neural Conduction
2013Neural information processing is based on three cellular mechanisms, i.e., the excitability of neural membranes, the spatio-temporal integration of activities on dendritic trees, and synaptic transmission. The basic element of neural activity is the action potential, which is a binary event, being either present or absent, much as the electrical ...

Differentiation of cardiac conducting cells from the neural crest
Journal of the Autonomic Nervous System, 1990Some of the cells that migrate to the dorsal myocardium of the chick embryo in stage 21 H-H begin to synthesize desmin. They retain this property even when they reach the subendothelial layers of the heart bud, i.e. the characteristic site of the cardiac conducting cells.

Neural conduction time and steady-state evoked potentials
Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology/Evoked Potentials Section, 1985Signal processing in neural networks will inevitably include delays due to the finite conduction velocity of the neurones and their interconnections. Diamond proposed a method for finding these delays in the case of (visual) steady-state responses. Alignment of response features, when represented in a time domain plot, would, allegedly, yield the delay.

Ion conducting polymer microelectrodes for interfacing with neural networks
Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2007We have examined the stimulation and recording properties of conjugated polymer microelectrode arrays as interfaces with neural networks of dissociated cortical cells. In particular the stimulation properties were investigated as a means of supplying a neural network with information. The stimulation efficiency at low stimulation voltages was evaluated

Neural Conduction in Neural Fibers: Personal vs. International Perspectives
2018I believe neural conduction in nerve fibers is simpler than the prevailing understanding suggests. Furthermore, I propose that the cornerstone of this process lies in a pressure impulse generated at the distal end of the axon hillock in motor neurons and at the sensory receptor sites in sensory neurons.

Neural conduction of the Myo-Monitor stimulus: A quantitative analysis
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1975With the introduction of the Myo-Monitor to dentistry, the question has arisen whether the stimulus is neurally mediated or results from direct depolarization of only the fibers of the masseter muscle. Intensity-duration curves recorded for 10 subjects quantified the relationship between stimulus intensity and the duration of the stimulus required to ...

Lord Adrian and the nature of neural conduction
Trends in Neurosciences, 1982Abstract In 1932, the Royal Caroline Institute decided to award the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine jointly to Sir Charles Sherrington and to Professor Adrian for their discoveries regarding the function of the neurone. In his presentation speech at the Nobel prize ceremony in Stockholm Goran Liljestrand pointed out that Sherrington had ...
