Innovative Methodology Mapping Function Onto Neuronal Morphology

Stiefel KM, Sejnowski TJ. Mapping functions onto neuronal morphology. J Neurophysiol 98: 513–526, 2007; doi:10.1152/ jn.00865.2007. Neurons have a wide range of dendritic morphologies the functions of which are largely unknown. We used an optimization procedure to find neuronal morphological structures for two computational tasks: first, neuronal morphologies were selected for linearly summing ...

Gastric electrical stimulation improves enteric neuronal survival

Research and clinical experience with vagotomy have confirmed that damage to the central nervous system severely affects physiological movement in the gastrointestinal system. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of synchronized dual-pulse gastric electrical stimulation (SGES) on the apoptosis of enteric neurons and the possible pathways involved in these effects in vagotomized ...
