Even in the era of effective antiretroviral therapies, people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are burdened with debilitating neurological dysfunction, such as HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) and HIV-associated pain, for ...

Dark microglia: Why are they dark?
Using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) we recently characterized a microglial phenotype that is induced by chronic stress, fractalkine receptor deficiency, aging, or Alzheimer disease pathology.

Neurofilament Levels in Dendritic Spines Associate with Synaptic Status
Neurofilaments are one of the main cytoskeletal components in neurons; they can be found in the form of oligomers at pre- and postsynapses. How their presence is regulated at the postsynapse remains largely unclear.

Diversity of neuronal activity is provided by hybrid synapses [PDF]
Many experiments have evidenced that electrical and chemical synapses -- hybrid synapses -- coexist in most organisms and brain structures. The role of electrical and chemical synapse connection in diversity of neural activity generation has been investigated separately in networks of varying complexities.

The adaptive immune response is initiated by the interaction of T cell antigen receptors with major histocompatibility complex molecule-peptide complexes in the nanometer scale gap between a T cell and an antigen-presenting cell, referred to as an immunological synapse.

Learning with Chemical versus Electrical Synapses -- Does it Make a Difference? [PDF]
Bio-inspired neural networks have the potential to advance our understanding of neural computation and improve the state-of-the-art of AI systems. Bio-electrical synapses directly transmit neural signals, by enabling fast current flow between neurons.

Probabilistic Fluorescence-Based Synapse Detection [PDF]
Brain function results from communication between neurons connected by complex synaptic networks. Synapses are themselves highly complex and diverse signaling machines, containing protein products of hundreds of different genes, some in hundreds of copies, arranged in precise lattice at each individual synapse.

One reason we learn and remember is because synapses, the places where axons and dendrites meet, undergo experience-dependent changes whose long-lasting nature may underlie the formation and persistence of memory. Indeed, neurons use these morphological and biochemical alterations to distinguish experienced (i.e., stimulated) from naive (unstimulated ...

Influence of Autapses on Synchronization in Neural Networks With Chemical Synapses
A great deal of research has been devoted on the investigation of neural dynamics in various network topologies. However, only a few studies have focused on the influence of autapses, synapses from a neuron onto itself via closed loops, on neural ...
