Signaling in dendritic spines and spine microdomains [PDF]
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2012 The specialized morphology of dendritic spines creates an isolated compartment that allows for localized biochemical signaling. Recent studies have revealed complexity in the function of the spine head as a signaling domain and indicate that (1) the spine is functionally subdivided into multiple independent microdomains and (2) not all biochemical ...

Does the Surgical Timing and Decompression Alone or Fusion Surgery in Lumbar Stenosis Influence Outcome in Cauda Equina Syndrome? [PDF]
Asian Spine Journal, 2019 Study Design A retrospective comparative analysis of 64 patients with cauda equina syndrome (CES), who underwent either decompression alone (NF) or fusion (F) surgery. Purpose We compared the outcomes and timing effects.

EFORT Open Reviews, 2021 Echinococcosis or hydatid disease affecting the spine is an uncommon manifestation of Echinococcus granulosus infection of the spine. More commonly found in endemic areas, it causes significant morbidity and mortality as it grows slowly and produces symptoms mainly by compressing the spinal cord.

Sticky central limit theorems on open books [PDF]
, 2013 Given a probability distribution on an open book (a metric space obtained by gluing a disjoint union of copies of a half-space along their boundary hyperplanes), we define a precise concept of when the Fr\'{e}chet mean (barycenter) is sticky.

Stochasticity in Ca$^{2+}$ increase in spines enables robust and sensitive information coding [PDF]
, 2013 A dendritic spine is a very small structure (~0.1 {\mu}m$^3$) of a neuron that processes input timing information. Why are spines so small? Here, we provide functional reasons; the size of spines is optimal for information coding. Spines code input timing information by the probability of Ca$^{2+}$ increases, which makes robust and sensitive ...

Anomalous Transport and Nonlinear Reactions in Spiny Dendrites [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 2010, 2010 We present a \textit{mesoscopic}description of the anomalous transport and reactions of particles in spiny dendrites. As a starting point we use two-state Markovian model with the transition probabilities depending on residence time variable. The main assumption is that the longer a particle survives inside spine, the smaller becomes the transition ...
