Introduction to Neural Plasticity Mechanism

Introduction to Neural Plasticity Mechanism

In researches that examine neuroplasticity, many studies that are performed directly on isolated neurons in the pyramidal cells of CA1 area (CA1) and slices of the hippocampus indicate that changes occur at the molecular and cellular levels during long-term synaptic potentiation (LTP), and these changes are dependent on N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) acid receptors and/or purinergic receptors. Ele...

Introduction to Schwann Cell Dedifferentiation and Plasticity

The peripheral nerves consist of sensory nerves that transmit somatic and visceral afferent information to the brain via the spinal cord and motor nerves that convey efferent outputs of the brain to effector organs such as skeletal muscles and glands. The nerve conduction velocities (NCV) of mammalian peripheral nerves range from 10 m/s to 150 m/s, depending on the type of information being tra...

An Introduction to Neural Computing

Computers are typically not very good at tasks at which humans excel, such as image and speech recognition, reasoning, understanding, and acting in the face of uncertainty. This difference cannot be due directly to a lack of speed, since a computer actually manipulates data thousands of times faster than neurons in the brain. However, computer processors have a structure that is very different ...
