Electro-optical feedback has many features in common with optical nonlinearities and hence is relevant to the generation of squeezing. First, I discuss theoretical and experimental results for traveling-wave feedback, emphasizing how the " in-loop " squeezing (also known as " squashing ") differs from free squeezing. Although such feedback, based on ordinary (demolition) photodetection cannot c...

Squeezing dendritic necks Sure enough, diffusion restriction was induced in individual dendrites by pairing two excitatory signals from pre-synaptic and postsynaptic sources. The clampdown at the dendrite neck may involve cross-linking of an actin mesh, or blockage by mitochondria or smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Either way, says Sabatini, “if a spine can hold onto [molecules such as] active ki...
