This study presents numerical results on a framework for understanding the dynamics of subthreshold waves in a network of electrical synapses modeled on the connectome data of the C ... Understanding ...

However, the greater petrosal nerve doesn’t synapse inside the geniculate ganglion; it merely passes through. A nerve ganglion is a capsule of connective tissue surrounding a group of nerves with ...

The cochlear nerve, also known as part of the vestibulocochlear or auditory nerve, is a sensory nerve responsible for hearing. It travels from the cochlea, a spiral-shaped structure in the inner ear, ...

Here, we propose a mechanistic model in which dendrite growth and the organization of synapses arise from the interaction of activity-independent cues from potential synaptic partners and local ...

If we make the conservative guess that each neuron has 1,000 synapses, that would put the ... the concentration of sodium and potassium ions. Diagram via Washington U. We all should know that ...

The endbulbs of Held are formed by the ascending branches of myelinated auditory nerve fibers and represent one of the largest synaptic endings in the brain. Normally, these endings are highly ...
