These neurons contain molecular clocks that drive rhythmic gene expression and set up 24-h rhythms in pacemaker neuron resting membrane potential, spontaneous firing rate and overall excitability 3.

Stuart Kauffman stands the brain on its head. The tiny alterations in membrane potential at the 6000 synpatic - dendritic membrane regions propagate to the cell body and are "summed", and if the ...

Action potential generation is the process by which a neuron rapidly depolarizes from a negative resting potential to a more positive potential, and is achieved by influx of cations (sodium ions ...

For more than a hundred years it was surmised that each neuron is characterized by a unique, short resting time of approximately two to three milliseconds after the spike occurred, in which the ...

Our human neuron model of tau spread overcomes the limitations of previous models and has unveiled potential targets for drug development that were previously unknown." ...
