Our knowledge of the structure of voltage-dependent K + (Kv) channels, which shape the neuronal action potential, has come largely from studies of prokaryotic channels, which can be expressed at ...

Previously, “both physicists and neuroscientists have largely dismissed the relevance of standard quantum mechanics to neuronal processes, as quantum effects are thought to disappear at the large ...

Neuronal physiology refers to the biology of neuronal function, including an understanding of the molecular and cellular processes that underlie neuronal activity. Cholinergic interneurons act at ...

In order for a neuron to transmit its own signal, it must first be sufficiently activated by incoming signals from other neurons via its dendrites. Then, an action potential is generated in its ...

Activating a protein called potassium channel Kv2.1 may help improve motor function in SMA, making it a potential SMA ...

Study shows maternal immune activation alters hippocampal neuron excitability in newborn rats, with implications for autism, schizophrenia, and depression.
