Degeneracy, defined as the ability of structurally disparate elements to perform analogous
function, has largely been assessed from the perspective of maintaining robustness of …

Santiago Ramón y Cajal had referred to neurons as the ‘mysterious butterflies of the soul.'
Wings of these butterflies – their dendrites – were traditionally considered as passive …

The maintenance of ion channel homeostasis, or channelostasis, is a complex puzzle in
neurons with extensive dendritic arborization, encompassing a combinatorial diversity of …

Key points • Voltage‐gated ion channels (VGICs) play a critical role in determining how neurons
respond to oscillatory inputs at various frequencies. How do inactivating VGICs regulate …

An open question within the Bienenstock-Cooper-Munro theory for synaptic modification
concerns the specific mechanism that is responsible for regulating the sliding modification …

Theoretical and computational frameworks for synaptic plasticity and learning have a long
and cherished history, with few parallels within the well-established literature for plasticity of …

Conspectus Cycloaddition reactions are among the most powerful methods for the
synthesis of complex compounds. In particular, the development and application of the 1,3-dipolar …

Oscillations in neural activity are a prominent feature of many brain states. Individual
hippocampal neurons exhibit intrinsic membrane potential oscillations and intrinsic resonance in …

The presence of phenomenological inductances in neuronal membrane has been known
for more than one-half a century. Despite this, the dramatic contributions of such inductive …

The regulation of intracellular calcium by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a critical role
in neuronal function. While the consequences associated with depleting calcium from the …
