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 ...

Synaptic communication accelerates neuronal migration in the developing brain. The mammalian neocortex is one of the most intricate entities found in nature, both in terms of structure and function. It is the brain region ...

We describe a low cost design of an electronic neuron, which is designed to represent the dynamical properties of the membrane potential of biological neurons by modeling the states of the membrane channels. This electronic ...

From development up to adulthood, the vertebrate brain is continuously supplied with newborn neurons that integrate into established mature circuits. However, how this process is coordinated during development remains ...

When inhibitory neurons constitute about 40% of neurons they could have an important antinociceptive role, as they would easily regulate the level of activity of other neurons. We consider a simple network of cortical ...

The axonal region most proximal to soma is the axon initial segment. This region is enriched in voltage-gated sodium channels as well as scaffolding proteins such as ankyrin-G, which allow to this structure to initiate ...

Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is an early common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), leading to chronic pain, sensory loss and muscle atrophy. Owing to its multifactorial etiology, neuron in vitro cultures have been proposed ...

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, ...
