Connectomics: novel methods for the dense reconstruction of neuronal circuitse-Neuroforum - Tập 4 - Trang 18-21 - 2013
M. Helmstaedter
The nervous system is characterized by extremely complex cell-to-cell
interactions which primarily occur via chemical synapses. Mapping the structure
of these intercellular networks is one of the major challenges in neuroscience.
The new field of connectomics which has developed in recent years aims at the
dense reconstruction of increasingly comprehensive nerve cell networks.

Hereditary hearing loss in humans: the importance of genetic approaches for clinical medicine and basic sciencee-Neuroforum - Tập 5 - Trang 67-71 - 2014
C. Kubisch
Hereditary hearing loss is one of the most common monogenic diseases in humans
and, depending on the severity of symptoms and age of onset, dysfunction of one
of the main sensory systems can cause significant problems for the affected
individual and his/her social environment. The diagnostic workup of hearing
impairment is complicated by a pronounced phenotypic variability and extensive
genetic he... hiện toàn bộ
Giant synapses in the central auditory systeme-Neuroforum - Tập 5 - Trang 53-59 - 2014
F. Felmy, T. Künzel
Giant synapses occur in four nuclei of the auditory brainstem. They are
characterized by numerous active zones concentrated on the soma of the
postsynaptic neuron and by rapid postsynaptic currents. At these sites, in the
ventral cochlear nucleus, the medial and lateral nucleus of the trapezoid body
and the ventral nucleus of the lateral lemniscus, faithful preservation of the
temporal relation of... hiện toàn bộ
Computation of motion direction in the vertebrate retinae-Neuroforum - Tập 18 Số 3 - Trang 49-58 - 2012
Thomas Euler, Susanne Hausselt
Abstract How direction of image motion is detected as early as at the level of
the vertebrate eye has been intensively studied in retina research. Although the
first direction-selective (DS) retinal ganglion cells were already described in
the 1960s and have since then been in the focus of many studies, scientists are
still puzzled by the intricacy of the neuronal circuits and computational

ADAM10: α-secretase in Alzheimer’s disease and regulator of neurobiologye-Neuroforum - Tập 5 - Trang 37-42 - 2014
P. Saftig, J. Prox
Proteolytic and amyloidogenic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by
β- and γ-secretases are pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
These proteolytic activities lead to release of the amyloid-β peptides believed
to cause neurological pathology and be linked to pathological progression in AD.
Due to its capability to cleave APP within the toxic peptide sequence, the

Neuronal pathways of embarrassmente-Neuroforum - Tập 7 - Trang 37-42 - 2016

Embarrassment is a genuine human emotion that we experience while being publicly
exposed in unfavorable situations. The embarrassment we feel informs us how we
perform according to prevalent norms and moral values and helps to regulate the
impression we make on others. One cornerstone of embarrassment is the capacity
to take another’s perspective and reflect on the thoughts, feelings, and

Vai trò của não trong béo phì ở người Dịch bởi AI e-Neuroforum - Tập 4 - Trang 79-84 - 2013
A. Horstmann, A. Villringer
Nguyên nhân phổ biến nhất gây béo phì là sự mất cân bằng năng lượng dương, tức
là năng lượng tiêu thụ nhiều hơn năng lượng tiêu hao. Sự gia tăng tỷ lệ béo phì
không thể được giải thích chỉ dựa trên môi trường tạo điều kiện cho béo phì, vì
tồn tại sự khác biệt lớn về tình trạng cân nặng giữa các cá nhân. Do đó, nguyên
nhân có khả năng cao là do sự tương tác giữa hành vi cá nhân và môi trường đã
