Endocytic proteins drive vesicle growth via instability in high membrane tension environment [PDF]
, 2015 Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is a key pathway for transporting cargo into cells via membrane vesicles. It plays an integral role in nutrient import, signal transduction, neurotransmission and cellular entry of pathogens and drug-carrying nanoparticles.

Glassy Carbon Microelectrode Arrays Enable Voltage-Peak Separated Simultaneous Detection of Dopamine and Serotonin Using Fast Scan Cyclic Voltammetry [PDF]
, 2020 Progress in real-time, simultaneous in vivo detection of multiple neurotransmitters will help accelerate advances in neuroscience research. The need for development of probes capable of stable electrochemical detection of rapid neurotransmitter fluctuations with high sensitivity and selectivity and sub-second temporal resolution has, therefore, become ...

Statistical crossover and nonextensive behavior of the neuronal short-term depression [PDF]
, 2016 The theoretical basis of neuronal coding, associated with short term degradation in synaptic transmission, is a matter of debate in the literature. In fact, electrophysiological signals are commonly characterized as inversely proportional to stimulus intensity.

A Fluorescent Ratiometric Potassium Sensor Based on IPG4-Silica Microparticles for Selective Detection and Fluorescence Imaging of Potassium Cations [PDF]
Journal of Materials Chemistry B 2024,10573Potassium cations play many important roles in living organisms, especially in electro-physiology, since they are involved in neurotransmission and muscle contractions. We report the synthesis of a ratiometric fluorescent microsensor for potassium (K+) detection, based on the fluorescent probe ION potassium green 4.

Quantifying constraints determining independent activation on NMDA receptors mediated currents from evoked and spontaneous synaptic transmission at an individual synapse [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 A synapse acts on neural transmission through a chemical process called synapses fusion between pre-synaptic and post-synaptic terminals. Presynaptic terminals release neurotransmitters either in response to action potential or spontaneously independent of presynaptic activity.

Enhanced average for event-related potential analysis using dynamic time warping [PDF]
Biomed. Signal Proces. and Cont.,Vol.87,2024Electroencephalography (EEG) provides a way to understand, and evaluate neurotransmission. In this context, time-locked EEG activity or event-related potentials (ERPs) are often used to capture neural activity related to specific mental processes. Normally, they are considered on the basis of averages across a number of trials.

Stochastic Adaptive Activation Function [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The simulation of human neurons and neurotransmission mechanisms has been realized in deep neural networks based on the theoretical implementations of activation functions. However, recent studies have reported that the threshold potential of neurons exhibits different values according to the locations and types of individual neurons, and that the ...
