The results showed that both compound and unitary inhibitory postsynaptic potentials are amplified by dendritic calcium ion channels. The width of a somatic IPSP is independent of the distance between the soma and the synapse whereas the rise time increases with this distance. These IPSPs also regulate theta rhythms in pyramidal cells.
Excitatory (EPSPs) inputs terminate exclusively on the dendritic spines, while inhibitory (IPSPs) inputs terminate on dendritic shafts, the soma, and even the axon. Pyramidal neurons can be excited by the neurotransmitter glutamate , [ 1 ] [ 14 ] and inhibited by the neurotransmitter GABA .
Basic ways that neurons can interact with each other when converting input to output. Summation, which includes both spatial summation and temporal summation, is the process that determines whether or not an action potential will be generated by the combined effects of excitatory and inhibitory signals, both from multiple simultaneous inputs (spatial summation), and from repeated inputs ...
In dorsal root ganglion cells, the cell body is thought to have approximately 1 voltage-gated sodium channel per square micrometre, while the axon hillock and initial segment of the axon have about ~100–200 voltage-gated sodium channels per square micrometre; in comparison, the nodes of Ranvier along the axon are thought to have ~1000–2000 ...
The wing-spot test in D. melanogaster was first described by Graf and Würgler. [3] The wing-spot test determines for the induction of mutant spots that represent the loss of heterozygozity due to point mutation, deletion, nondisjunction, or mitotic recombination using the recessive genetic markers multiple wing hair (mwh) and flare-3 (flr3), located on chromosome number 3.

The somatosensory system, or somatic sensory system is a subset of the sensory nervous system. It has two subdivisions, one for the detection of mechanosensory information related to touch, and the other for the nociception detection of pain and temperature. [ 1 ]
Wrist-worn devices can predict imminent inflammatory and symptomatic inflammatory bowel disease flare-ups as far in advance as 7 weeks, a study suggests.
