Adaptation is the most common and basic feature of living systems, which gives species or
individuals a survival advantage. In particular, visual adaptation can enable organisms with …

A widely discussed hypothesis in neuroscience is that transiently active ensembles of
neurons, known as" cell assemblies," underlie numerous operations of the brain, from …

Depressive short‐term synaptic plasticity functions are implemented with a simple polymer
poly (3, 4ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrene sulfonate)(PEDOT: PSS) organic …

While neurons principally mediate brain function, astrocytes are emerging as cells with
important neuromodulatory actions in brain physiology. In addition to homeostatic roles …

Different types of synapses are specialized to interpret spike trains in their own way by virtue
of the complement of short-term synaptic plasticity mechanisms they possess. Numerous …

Neurons are often considered to be the computational engines of the brain, with synapses
acting solely as conveyers of information. But the diverse types of synaptic plasticity and the …

Neurons in the primary auditory cortex are tuned to the intensity and specific frequencies of
sounds, but the synaptic mechanisms underlying this tuning remain uncertain. Inhibition …

Recent sensory experience affects both perception and the response properties of visual
neurons. Here I review a rapid form of experience-dependent plasticity that follows …

Using a common set of mindfulness exercises, mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR)
and mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT) have been shown to reduce distress in …

Neocortex, the neuronal structure at the base of the remarkable cognitive skills of mammals,
is a layered sheet of neuronal tissue composed of juxtaposed and interconnected columns …
