Researchers have demonstrated how dendrites -- branch-like extensions that protrude from neurons -- help neurons perform computations on information that comes in from other parts of the brain. Within ...

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a crucial part of the mammalian brain, known to be involved in decision-making, planning, complex social behavior and integrating the activity of other brain regions.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have learned the mechanisms behind a common type of failure in lithium-ion batteries caused by the formation and growth of “dendrites,” findings that could aid in ...

Neuroscientists have discovered that human dendrites have very different electrical properties from those of other species. These differences may contribute to the enhanced computing power of the ...

While the reason why Samsung Galaxy Note 7s have been catching fire has yet to be confirmed, the focus is on the device’s lithium-ion batteries. And those familiar with this technology have begun ...

A sucrose-modified aqueous electrolyte increases the mobility of zinc ions in response to the electric field and successfully achieves dendrite-free zinc batteries. (Courtesy: Nano Research, Tsinghua ...

Figure 1: Subcellular patch-clamp recording from dendrites and axons of CA3 pyramidal neurons. Figure 2: Action potentials backpropagate into the dendrites of CA3 pyramidal neurons with large ...

An international research team has achieved a major breakthrough in manganese research after discovering that the growth of three-dimensional manganese dendrites occurs through the accretion of ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Within the human brain, neurons perform complex calculations on information they receive. Researchers at MIT have now demonstrated how dendrites — branch-like extensions that protrude ...
