Molecular dynamics of neuronal information transfer

Investigation of Melting by Molecular Dynamics Simulation

The melting of a 64 ion microcrystal of KCI was studied by means of a molecular dynamics computer simulation. We used a central pair interaction with an inverse power law repulsion. The thermodynamics, kinetic and structural properties such as melting temperature, latent heat, mean square displacement, diffusion constant, radial distribution function and bond angle distribution are calculated. ...

Molecular dynamics methods in microscale heat transfer

In normal heat transfer and fluid flow calculations, the fluid phases are treated as being continuous with properties such as viscosity and thermal conductivity being assumed to be only a function of local pressure, composition and temperature in the flow domain. However, as the size of the flow domain (the channel) becomes smaller and smaller, the continuum treatment breaks down since, in real...

Quantifying impacts of short-term plasticity on neuronal information transfer.

Short-term changes in efficacy have been postulated to enhance the ability of synapses to transmit information between neurons, and within neuronal networks. Even at the level of connections between single neurons, direct confirmation of this simple conjecture has proven elusive. By combining paired-cell recordings, realistic synaptic modeling, and information theory, we provide evidence that s...
