Synaptic function: dendritic democracy.

Abstract

Neurons receive synaptic inputs primarily onto their dendrites, which filter synaptic potentials as they spread toward the soma. Recent results indicate that this filtering appears to be compensated by increasing the synaptic conductance at distal synapses, thus normalizing the efficacy of synaptic inputs at the soma.

Equivalence transformations for dendritic Y-junctions: a new definition of dendritic sub-unit.

A sequence of equivalence transformations is used to represent the mathematical model of a simply branched neuron with non-homogeneous membrane properties and non-uniform geometry by an entirely equivalent model of an unbranched structure. The analysis indicates how neuronal morphology, in combination with its biophysical properties, shapes neuronal output in response to current input. The equivalence transformations described here reveal the types of operations that are likely to feature in the analysis of complex multi-branched structures, neuronal or otherwise. These transformations provide a new definition of dendritic sub-unit and a basis of a mechanism for characterising local and non-local signal processing within dendritic structures. It is anticipated that the capacity to transform biological neurons into an equivalent unbranched structure will make an important contribution to the understanding of the functional role of neuron geometry as well as to the construction of silicon neurons with realistic biological properties.

Dendrite extension by methanol extract of Ashwagandha (roots of Withania somnifera) in SK-N-SH cells.

Extension of dendrites and axons in neurons may compensate for and repair damaged neuronal circuits in the dementia brain. Our aim in the present study was to explore drugs activating neurite outgrowth and regenerating the neuronal network. We found that the methanol extract of Ashwagandha (roots of Withania somnifera; 5 microg/ml) significantly increased the percentage of cells with neurites in human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells. The effect of the extract was dose- and time-dependent mRNA levels of the dendritic markers MAP2 and PSD-95 by RT-PCR were found to be markedly increased by treatment with the extract, whereas those of the axonal marker Tau were not. Immunocytochemistry demonstrated the specific expression of MAP2 in neurites extended by the extract. These results suggest that the methanol extract of Ashwagandha promotes the formation of dendrites.
