Since the neural synapse consists in the unstoppable pass of charged electrically neurotransmitters from a neuron to another, then it might be directly explained by the Kirchhoff laws. In this paper, the usage of these ...

Neurotransmitter receptors, the macromolecules specialized in decoding the chemical signals encrypted in the chemical signaling mechanism in the nervous system, occur either at the somatic cell surface of chemically excitable ...

Electrogravimetric analysis was performed on the consumption of the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine (ACh) by Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in situ and in real time. Michaelis-Menten assumption was achieved by using an enzyme ...

This paper proposes the idea that neural synapse is a pure electrical event. In order to derive this the well-known Fokker-Planck equation is employed. Basically the process of synapse is divided in three phases: (i) The ...

Given the increasing use of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in several industries and technological applications, it is essential to perform in vivo toxicological studies with these nanomaterials to evaluate their potential ...

The process of synaptic transmission is projected onto the territory of quantum mechanics. Thus, the electric interactions are seen as probabilistic events more than a deterministic one. In this manner, the neurotransmitter ...
