Extracellular electrical stimulation of neural networks has been widely used empirically for
decades with individual electrodes. Since recently, microtechnology provides advanced …

The rise of transcranial current stimulation (tCS) techniques have sparked an increasing
interest in the effects of weak extracellular electric fields on neural activity. These fields …

Transcranial brain stimulation and evidence of ephaptic coupling have recently sparked
strong interests in understanding the effects of weak electric fields on the dynamics of brain …

Non-synaptic interactions among neurons via extracellular electric fields may play functional
roles in the CNS. Previously in a study using voltage-sensitive dye imaging, we reported …

The distal apical dendrites of layer 5 pyramidal neurons receive cortico-cortical and
thalamocortical top-down and feedback inputs, as well as local recurrent inputs. A prominent …

The dielectric properties of brain tissue are important for understanding how neural activity is
related to local field potentials and electroencephalograms. It is known that the permittivity of …

Weak electric fields (EFs) modulate input/output function of pyramidal cells. Dendritic Ca 2+
spike is an important cellular mechanism for coupling synaptic inputs from different cortical …

The electric activity of neurons creates extracellular potential fields. Recent findings show
that these endogenous fields act back onto the neurons, contributing to synchronization of …

Action potential generation and propagation along a nerve fiber is an exciting phenomena
and the process is described using a series of non-linear differential equations called as the …

Despite substantial evidence that mechanical variables play a crucial role in transmembrane
voltage regulation, most research efforts focus mostly on the nerve cell's biochemical or …
