Associativity becomes a factor because this can be achieved through two simultaneous inputs that may not be strong enough to activate LTP by themselves. Besides the NMDA-receptor based processes, further cellular mechanisms allow of the association between two different input signals converging on the same neuron, in a defined timeframe.
Molecular neuroscience is a branch of neuroscience that observes concepts in molecular biology applied to the nervous systems of animals. The scope of this subject covers topics such as molecular neuroanatomy, mechanisms of molecular signaling in the nervous system, the effects of genetics and epigenetics on neuronal development, and the molecular basis for neuroplasticity and ...
Phase-of-firing code is a neural coding scheme that combines the spike count code with a time reference based on oscillations. This type of code takes into account a time label for each spike according to a time reference based on phase of local ongoing oscillations at low [39] or high frequencies. [40]
Molecular Brain is a peer-reviewed open access scientific journal covering research on all aspects of the nervous system at the molecular, cellular and systems levels. The journal was established in 2008 and is published by BioMed Central .
Molecular genetics is a sub-field in biology that investigates the structure, expression, and functions of genes, informing brain development and functions at the level of the genome. [54] In the context of personality neuroscience, methods in molecular genetics have been used to establish genetic underpinnings of personality traits. [55]
“Your brain is wired to do one thing at a time,” Dr. Aditi Nerurkar, an internal medicine physician and lecturer on global health and social medicine at Harvard Medical School, told me.
Devaughn Vele gets a good grade for concentration. The Denver Broncos receiver couldn't have figured that he would catch a touchdown when Bo Nix threw it toward the back of the end zone.
Neurogenetics is a field that is rapidly expanding and growing. The current areas of research are very diverse in their focuses. One area deals with molecular processes and the function of certain proteins, often in conjunction with cell signaling and neurotransmitter release, cell development and repair, or neuronal plasticity.
