Researchers have demonstrated how dendrites -- branch-like extensions that protrude from neurons -- help neurons perform computations on information that comes in from other parts of the brain. Within ...

Researchers have developed a magnetic-controlled “dream battery” system that provides four times the energy storage capacity ...

Figure 1: Attenuation of BAPs from soma to basal dendrites. Figure 2: Measurement of unitary EPSPs and their attenuation in basal dendrites. The asymmetry between the forward and backward attenuation, ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have learned the mechanisms behind a common type of failure in lithium-ion batteries caused by the formation and growth of “dendrites,” findings that could aid in ...

One of the key questions of neurobiology is how neurons polarize to acquire two molecularly and functionally distinct compartments that emerge from the cell body: a single axon and multiple dendrites, ...

Dendrites – thin conductive filaments that form inside lithium batteries – reduce the life of these cells and are often responsible for them catching fire. Scientists working at the Pacific Northwest ...

The information-processing capabilities of the brain are often reported to reside in the trillions of connections that wire its neurons together. But over the past few decades, mounting research has ...

Neuroscientists have discovered that human dendrites have very different electrical properties from those of other species. These differences may contribute to the enhanced computing power of the ...

An international research team has achieved a major breakthrough in manganese research after discovering that the growth of three-dimensional manganese dendrites occurs through the accretion of ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Neurons in the human brain receive electrical signals from thousands of other cells, and long neural extensions called dendrites play a critical role in incorporating all of that ...
