Stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative Poisson noise and monotone nonlinearity
Semilinear stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative Poisson noise and monotone nonlinear drift in Hilbert spaces are considered. The coefficients are assumed to have linear growth. We do not impose coercivity conditions on coefficients. A novel method of proof for establishing existence and uniqueness of the mild solution is proposed. Examples on stochastic partial differentia...
متن کاملPhosducin regulates transmission at the photoreceptor-to-ON-bipolar cell synapse.
The rate of synaptic transmission between photoreceptors and bipolar cells has been long known to depend on conditions of ambient illumination. However, the molecular mechanisms that mediate and regulate transmission at this ribbon synapse are poorly understood. We conducted electroretinographic recordings from dark- and light-adapted mice lacking the abundant photoreceptor-specific protein pho...
متن کاملNeurobiology and Bipolar Disorder: beyond the Synapse*
Affective disorders have hitherto been explained in terms of neurotransmitter deficits or dysfunction. However, research in patients with bipolar disorder shows that, while neurotransmitter dysfunction is clearly important in the presentation of bipolar disorder, it is not the sole explanation for its etiology. Rather than all of the neurotransmitters being independently abnormal in bipolar dis...
متن کاملNoise removal at the rod synapse of mammalian retina.
Mammalian rods respond to single photons with a hyperpolarization of about 1 mV which is accompanied by continuous noise. Since the mammalian rod bipolar cell collects signals from 20-100 rods, the noise from the converging rods would overwhelm the single-photon signal from one rod at scotopic intensities (starlight) if the bipolar cell summed signals linearly (Baylor et al., 1984). However, it...
متن کاملT Cell Polarization at the Virological Synapse
Cell-to-cell spread of HIV-1 between CD4(+) T cells takes place at multimolecular structures called virological synapses. A defining feature of the virological synapse is polarization of viral assembly and budding at sites of T cell-T cell contact. Recent work is beginning to address how viral proteins are targeted to the virological synapse and the molecular mechanisms that regulate HIV-1 egre...
