Individual neuron models give a comprehensive explanation of the behaviour of the electrical potential of cell membranes. These models were and are a source of constant analysis to understand the functioning of, mainly, ...

It has been postulated that the accumulation of extracellular alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) might alter the neuronal membrane by formation of 'pore-like structures' that will lead to alterations in ionic homeostasis. However, ...

The ultrastructural characteristics and the morphometric evaluation of the different types of neurons present in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) of the South American opossum (Didelphis albiventris) were studied. Four adult ...

Several molecules have been proposed as excitatory transmitters between glomus (type 1) cells and nerve terminals of petrosal ganglion (PG) neurons in the carotid body (CB). We tested whether ACh and ATP have a role to ...

Wnt signaling is essential for neuronal development and the maintenance of the developing nervous system. Recent studies indicated that Wnt signaling modulates long term potentiation in adult hippocampal slices. We report ...

There is evidence that sympathoexcitatory and respiratory responses to chemoreflex activation involve ventrolateral medulla-projecting nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) neurons (NTS-VLM neurons) and also that ATP modulates ...

This work aims to investigate the use of artificial neural networks in the analysis of the transient stability of Electric Power Systems (determination of critical clearing time for short-circuit faults type with electric ...
