CA3 pyramidal neuron dendrites showed a high Na+-to-K+ conductance density ratio, providing ideal conditions for active backpropagation and dendritic spike initiation.

The cellular mechanisms underlying axogenesis and dendritogenesis are not completely understood. The axons and dendrites of retinal bipolar cells, which contact their synaptic partners within ...

Researchers have demonstrated how dendrites -- branch-like extensions that protrude from neurons -- help neurons perform computations on information that comes in from other parts of the brain.

Researchers at MIT have demonstrated how dendrites — branch-like extensions that protrude from neurons — help neurons perform computations on information that comes in from other parts of the ...

Dendrites are almost like branches that extend out from neurons to complete the synaptic connections that allow neurons to communicate and pass along impulses in the brain. These cortical dendrites ...

Understanding the dynamics of the growth of three-dimensional mineral dendrites is important in physics, geology, material sciences and even the study of extraterrestrial environments.

Activity in dendrites critical in memory formation Date: October 26, 2014 Source: Northwestern University Summary: Researchers have discovered how neurons in the brain might allow some experiences ...

But dendrites are also a problem in batteries that use solid electrolytes. Solid electrolytes avoid the need to use flammable solvents, which makes the battery safer.

Battery dendrites are not caused by electrical origins, but instead have mechanical sources. The dendrites propagate due to fracture of the electrolyte and subsequent crack filling-in. Stresses on ...

Dendrites can also be beneficial to the battery's process, the team found. If the dendrites grow in an even carpet over the battery's interior, remaining small, ...

(Dendrites were found in the batteries related to the Boeing 787 battery fires that happened in 2014, for example.) But researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, ...
