Multiplexed neurochemical transmission emulated using a dual-excitatory synaptic transistor
The ability to emulate multiplexed neurochemical transmission is an important step toward mimicking complex brain activities. Glutamate and dopamine are neurotransmitters that regulate thinking and impulse signals independently or synergistically ...

Brain aging is associated with declines in synaptic function that contribute to memory loss, including reduced postsynaptic response to neurotransmitters and decreased neuronal excitability.

Inositol phosphate metabolism has emerged as one of the key players in synaptic transmission. Previous studies have shown that the deletion of inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 1 (IP6K1), which is responsible for inositol pyrophosphate biosynthesis ...

A Mathematical model for Astrocytes mediated LTP at Single Hippocampal Synapses
Many contemporary studies have shown that astrocytes play a significant role in modulating both short and long form of synaptic plasticity. There are very few experimental models which elucidate the role of astrocyte over Long-term Potentiation (LTP ...

Protein kinase C is a calcium sensor for presynaptic short-term plasticity [PDF]
In presynaptic boutons, calcium (Ca2+) triggers both neurotransmitter release and short-term synaptic plasticity. Whereas synaptotagmins are known to mediate vesicle fusion through binding of high local Ca2+ to their C2 domains, the proteins that sense ...

Green's functions for reflectionless potentials and addition of boundstates to powerlaw potentials to find Supersymmetric partners [PDF]
Green's functions for reflectionless potentials are constructed and analyzed. Green's functions for power law potentials, their Super Symmetric partners and sum rules for eigenvalues are examined. The SUSY partner potentials to power law potentials which have an additional bound state at $E=0$ are constructed.

A Mathematical Model of Tripartite Synapse: Astrocyte Induced Synaptic Plasticity
In this paper we present a biologically detailed mathematical model of tripartite synapses, where astrocytes modulate short-term synaptic plasticity. The model consists of a pre-synaptic bouton, a post-synaptic dendritic spine-head, a synaptic cleft and ...

Concentrations for nonlinear Schrodinger equation with magnetic potentials and constant electric potentials [PDF]
This paper studies the concentration phenomena to nonlinear Schrodinger equations with magnetic potentials and constant electric potentials. We find that the magnetic field plays an important role in the location of concentrations if the electric potential is constant.

Optimal stimulation protocol in a bistable synaptic consolidation model
Consolidation of synaptic changes in response to neural activity is thought to be fundamental for memory maintenance over a timescale of hours. In experiments, synaptic consolidation can be induced by repeatedly stimulating presynaptic neurons.

Synaptic tagging and capture : differential role of distinct calcium/calmodulin kinases in protein synthesis-dependent long-term potentiation [PDF]
Weakly tetanized synapses in area CA1 of the hippocampus that ordinarily display long-term potentiation lasting ~3 h (called early-LTP) will maintain a longer-lasting change in efficacy (late-LTP) if the weak tetanization occurs shortly before or after ...
