Electrophysiology is the measurement of the electrical activity, or “excitability”, of biological cells (be they muscle cells, neurons, or stem cells). This can be done at a single-cell level, or it ...

Abnormalities in brain regions involved in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia (SCZ) may present insight into individual clinical symptoms. Specifically, functional connectivity irregularities may ...

Baduanjin (BDJ) exercise is a traditional exercise that combines breathing, body movement, meditation and awareness to help delay the onset and progression of senile degenerative musculoskeletal ...

Macroscopic cellular function is maintained despite extensive variations in underlying elementary constituents, including the size of the cell, and the number, distribution, and kinetics of their ...

During high-frequency firing, the shape of a presynaptic action potential (AP) can alter, thereby changing neurotransmitter release. In this paper, we describe how a giant terminal in the brainstem of ...

Recent evidence in vitro suggests that the tuft dendrites of pyramidal neurons are capable of evoking local NMDA receptor–dependent electrogenesis, so-called NMDA spikes. However, it has so far proved ...

Sinus node dysfunction (SND) is a major clinically relevant disease that is associated with sudden cardiac death and requires surgical implantation of electric pacemaker devices. Frequently, SND ...
