Journal ArticleDOI

Comparisons between active properties of distal dendritic branches and spines: Implications for neuronal computations

TL;DR: The results suggest the hypothesis that a hierarchy of logic operations is virtually inherent in the branching structure of dendritic trees of cortical pyramidal neurons, including AND, OR, and AND-NOT gates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cortical Dendritic Spine Heads Are Not Electrically Isolated by the Spine Neck from Membrane Potential Signals in Parent Dendrites

TL;DR: The results show that spine neck does not filter membrane potential signals as they spread from the dendrites into the spine heads, which challenges the understanding of the electrical behavior of spines at a fundamental level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abnormal excitability of oblique dendrites implicated in early Alzheimer's: a computational study

TL;DR: The results suggest the hypothesis that the oblique branches may be most vulnerable to disruptions of IA by early exposure to aβ, and point the way to further experimental analysis of these actions as factors in the neural basis of the early decline of cognitive function in Alzheimer's.
Journal Article

Amphotericin B-Induced Myelopathy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present two cases in which clinical, myelographie, and pathologic evidence failed to support the presence of an amphotericin B-induced arachnoiditis, but rather sug¬ gested direct damage to the spinal cord.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two reciprocating current components underlying slow oscillations in Aplysia bursting neurons

TL;DR: The mechanisms of the slow oscillatory potential in burst firing neurons in the abdominal ganglion of Aplysia californica were studied using voltage clamp methods, including a novel tract and hold technique, to explain why different portions of the oscillatory cycle display 'graded' or 'all-or-none' behavior.
