Structural MRI connectome in development: challenges of the changing brain(Pubmed) Author : O Tymofiyeva , C P Hess, D Xu, A J Barkovich Abstract : MRI connectomics is an emerging approach to study the brain as a network of interconnected brain regions. Understanding and mapping the development of the MRI…

Active conductances in motoneuron dendrites enhance movement capabilities(Pubmed) Author : C J Heckman Abstract : Synaptic input to motoneurons was traditionally thought to flow passively from the dendrites to the soma and initial axon segment. It is now clear that voltage-sensitive channels in motoneuron dendrites can generate large active currents…

Neuromodulatory control of a goal-directed decision(Pubmed) Author : Keiko Hirayama , Leonid L Moroz , Nathan G Hatcher , Rhanor Gillette Abstract : Many cost-benefit decisions reduce to simple choices between approach or avoidance (or active disregard) to salient stimuli. Physiologically, critical factors in such decisions are modulators of the…

A Brief History Believe it or not, despite how sci-fi and futuristic they may seem, BCIs have been around for a while. The electrical activity of the human brain was first recorded after Hans Berger developed the first electroencephalogram (EEG) way back in 1924. He and other researchers spent the next few decades…

I was sixteen, planted in the middle of the gentle December like a stubborn seed that refused to grow. I didn't think I would grow out of this mundane melancholy, this violent anxiety, that somehow, it would last forever, following me around like a lonely dog. …
