Sclerotic lesions of glomeruli may also develop as a secondary event, both in immune complex and non-immune diseases, such as conditions with extensive loss of renal mass, diabet...
متن کاملNeuronal firing: Does function follow form?
Neurons generate diverse firing patterns to perform a range of specialized tasks. Experiments show that many features of these firing patterns arise from distinctive membrane properties, but theoretical work predicts that differences in neuronal morphology are also important.
