  2. Astrocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrocyte

    Astrocytes (green) in the context of neurons (red) in a mouse cortex cell culture 23-week-old fetal brain culture human astrocyte Astrocytes (red-yellow) among neurons (green) in the living cerebral cortex. Astrocytes are a sub-type of glial cells in the central nervous system. They are also known as astrocytic glial cells.

  3. Partitioned global address space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partitioned_global_address...

    In computer science, partitioned global address space (PGAS) is a parallel programming model paradigm. PGAS is typified by communication operations involving a global memory address space abstraction that is logically partitioned, where a portion is local to each process, thread, or processing element.

  4. Potassium spatial buffering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_spatial_buffering

    The proposed model was actually inappropriate since at the time neither gap junctions nor syncytium among glial cells were known, and optic nerve of Necturus are unmyelinated, which means that potassium efflux occurred directly into the periaxonal extracellular space, where potassium ions in extracellular space would be directly absorbed into ...

  5. Gliotransmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliotransmitter

    One model of the tripartite synapse shows the presynaptic and postsynaptic terminals lying adjacent to each other, which the astrocyte is wrapped around the postsynaptic terminal. [1] However, localization and spatial distribution of the three elements of the tripartite synapse vary in different regions of the brain.

  6. Tripartite synapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripartite_synapse

    Evidence for the role of astrocytes in the integration and processing of synaptic integration presents itself in a number of ways: Astrocytes are excitable cells: In response to stimuli from any of the three components of the tripartite synapse, astrocytes are capable of producing transient changes in their intracellular calcium concentrations through release of calcium stores from the ...

  7. Memory architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_architecture

    Memory architecture also explains how binary digits are converted into electric signals and then stored in the memory cells. And also the structure of a memory cell. For example, dynamic memory is commonly used for primary data storage due to its fast access speed.

  8. Hack computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_computer

    In using the term “modern”, the authors refer to a digital, binary machine that is patterned according to the von Neumann architecture model. The Hack computer is intended for hands-on virtual construction in a hardware simulator application as a part of a basic, but comprehensive, course in computer organization and architecture . [ 2 ]

    the cognitive architecture, developed under Ron Sun at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and University of Missouri. CMAC: The Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller (CMAC) is a type of neural network based on a model of the mammalian cerebellum. It is a type of associative memory. [11]
