Ionic Conductive Textiles for Wearable Technology

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Recent advances in ionic conductive textiles for wearable technology are summarized, with a focus on soft ionic conductors that exhibit skin‐like flexibility and tissue‐like ion dynamics. Their structures, key characteristics, manufacturing methods, and diverse applications are reviewed.

Multifractal distribution of spike intervals for two neurons with unreliable synapses [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2006
Two neurons coupled by unreliable synapses are modeled by leaky integrate-and-fire neurons and stochastic on-off synapses. The dynamics is mapped to an iterated function system. Numerical calculations yield a multifractal distribution of interspike intervals.

Synapses: Glia help synapses form and function [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 1998
AbstractA sophisticated new cell-culture system has shown that glial cells can promote synaptogenesis and enhance the efficacy of synaptic transmission. These effects are not secondary to increased neuronal survival but probably involve changes in neuronal activity levels and a secreted glial factor.

Stretchable, Multiplexed, and Bimodal Sensing Electronic Armor for Colonoscopic Continuum Robot Enhanced by Triboelectric Artificial Synapse

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Colonoscopic continuum robots lack sensing, endangering intestinal tissue. An ideal sensing array is hard to integrate. This work introduces a 3D crosslinked stretchable E‐armor with full‐coverage and multiplexing. It has bimodal sensing, forms a triboelectric synapse, uses CNN‐LSTM, and has a hydrogel and innovative triboelectric materials.

Stimulation of the Hippocampal POMC/MC4R Circuit Alleviates Synaptic Plasticity Impairment in an Alzheimer’s Disease Model

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
Hippocampal synaptic plasticity is modulated by neuropeptides, the disruption of which might contribute to cognitive deficits observed in Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Engineering Cellular Self‐Adhesions Inside 3D Printed Micro‐Arches to Enhance Cell:Biomaterial Attachment

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Surprisingly, a cell can bind to itself to make a self‐adhesion, which engineered here to improve how cells attach to biomaterials. Nanoprinting are used to make 3D structures smaller than cells–called Self‐Adhesion‐Tunnels (SATs)–around which cells can wrap and bind to themselves.

Gap junctions fine-tune ganglion cell signals to equalize response kinetics within a given electrically coupled array

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) summate inputs and forward a spike train code to the brain in the form of either maintained spiking (sustained) or a quickly decaying brief spike burst (transient).

Stability and Function of Hippocampal Mossy Fiber Synapses Depend on Bcl11b/Ctip2

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Structural and functional plasticity of synapses are critical neuronal mechanisms underlying learning and memory. While activity-dependent regulation of synaptic strength has been extensively studied, much less is known about the transcriptional control ...

P3HT‐Based Electroactive Films for In Vitro Neuronal Cell Interfacing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Reducing the mechanical mismatch between bioelectronic devices and tissue is crucial for enhancing the characteristics of biointerfaces that better mimic the biological tissues. This work investigates the physico‐chemical properties of tunable nanostructured surfaces obtained from a blend of P3HT and MWCNT electroactive polymer.

Distinct subpopulations of ventral pallidal cholinergic projection neurons encode valence of olfactory stimuli

open access: yesCell Reports
Summary: To better understand the function of cholinergic projection neurons in the ventral pallidum (VP), we examined behavioral responses to appetitive (APP) and aversive (AV) odors that elicited approach or avoidance, respectively.
