Many physiologic effects of l-glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the
mammalian central nervous system, are mediated via signaling by ionotropic glutamate …

The volume, veracity, variability, and velocity of data produced from the ever increasing
network of sensors connected to Internet pose challenges for power management …

Hypofunction of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid-type glutamate receptors (NMDAR) induced by the
systemic administration of NMDAR antagonists is well known to cause schizophrenia-like …

Beyond their well-established role as triggers for LTP and LTD of fast synaptic transmission
mediated by AMPA receptors, an expanding body of evidence indicates that NMDA …

Dendrites are the main recipients of synaptic inputs and are important sites that determine
neurons' input-output functions. This review focuses on thin neocortical dendrites, which …

The thick-tufted layer 5b pyramidal cell extends its dendritic tree to all six layers of the
mammalian neocortex and serves as a major building block for the cortical column. L5b …

Layer 4 neurons in primary sensory cortices receive direct sensory information from the
external world,. A general feature of these neurons is their selectivity to specific features of …

The conventional view of dendritic function is that dendrites collect synaptic input and deliver
it to the soma. This view has been challenged in recent years by new results demonstrating …

Dendritic spines receive most excitatory connections in pyramidal cells and many other
principal neurons. But why do neurons use spines, when they could accommodate …

Recent discoveries on the organisation of the cortical connectome together with novel data
on the dynamics of neuronal interactions require an extension of classical concepts on …
