Wiring Optimization in Cortical Circuits
Wiring a brain presents a formidable problem because neural circuits require an enormous number of fast and durable connections. We propose that evolution was likely to have optimized neural circuits to minimize conduction delays in axons, passive cable attenuation in dendrites, and the length of "wire" used to construct circuits, and to have maximized the density of synapses. Here we ask the q...
متن کاملReversible on-surface wiring of resistive circuits.
Whilst most studies in single-molecule electronics involve components first synthesized ex situ, there is also great potential in exploiting chemical transformations to prepare devices in situ. Here, as a first step towards this goal, we conduct reversible reactions on monolayers to make and break covalent bonds between alkanes of different lengths, then measure the conductance of these molecul...
متن کاملOne Loop at a Time
Classic techniques for proving termination require the identification of a measure mapping program states to the elements of a well founded domain and to show that this measure decreases with each iteration of a loop in the program. This is a global termination condition — there is a single measure which must be shown to decrease over all of the loops in the program. In this abstract we look at...

for these devices. But the macro layer of a network can be expanded to go a long way. In the near-term, the smartphone challenge is not about providing the capacity to cope with subscriber datausage, but is related to how the signaling system is configured. To build the networks that will cope with long-term predictions requires a new approach to network construction, heterogeneous networks – m...
متن کاملOne organ at a time
S tem cell research—and investment into it—has been largely inspired by the hope of using stem cells to regenerate, repair or replace damaged tissue or even whole organs. Stem cell-based therapies promise to eventually solve the problems associated with conventional organ transplantation: notably tissue rejection, a shortage of donors and the poor quality of donor organs. A much improved knowle...
