Probabilistic fluorescence-based synapse detection.... We report a novel unsupervised probabilistic method for detection of synapses from multiplex FM (muxFM) image data, and evaluate this method both by comparison to EM gold standard annotated data and by examining its capacity to reproduce known important features of cortical synapse distributions....
Consciousness, intentionality, and causality... We can't trace linear causal chains from receptors after the first cortical synapse, so we use circular causality to explain neural pattern formation by self-organizing dynamics....
Nanodomain coupling at an excitatory cortical synapse ... The reduced transmission fidelity of loose coupling, however, raises the question whether it is indeed a general characteristic of cortical synapses....
Investigating features of irregular fluctuations of cortical synapse dataAbstract—We describe results of investigating features of irregular fluctuations of the individual response of an excitatory cortical synapse to stimulation from the view-point of dynamical systems....
