Modeling picosecond electron dynamics of pump-probe intersubband spectroscopy in n-type Ge/SiGe quantum wells

Gabriele Grosso

We present an energy-balance model of the electronic intersubband relaxation in optically excited n-type Ge/SiGe quantum wells with absorption resonance in the THz range. To this aim, the energy relaxation rates of the electron system due to interactions w ...

Kinetics of Atrial Repolarization Alternans in a Free-Behaving Ovine Model

Jean-Marc Vesin, Florian Jousset, Etienne Pruvot

Kinetics of Atrial Repolarization Alternans. Introduction: Repolarization alternans (Re-ALT), a beat-to-beat alternation in action potential repolarization, promotes dispersion of repolarization, wavebreaks, and reentry. Recently, Re-ALT has been shown to ...

Chloride Ions in the Pore of Glycine and GABA Channels Shape the Time Course and Voltage Dependence of Agonist Currents

Michele Giugliano

In the vertebrate CNS, fast synaptic inhibition is mediated by GABA and glycine receptors. We recently reported that the time course of these synaptic currents is slower when intracellular chloride is high. Here we extend these findings to measure the effe ...

Synaptic Mechanisms Underlying Sparse Coding of Active Touch

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Yves Emile Alfred Kremer, James Poulet

Sensory information is actively gathered by animals, but the synaptic mechanisms driving neuronal circuit function during active sensory processing are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the synaptically driven membrane potential dynamics during acti ...

Regulation of transmitter release by Ca2+ and synaptotagmin: insights from a large CNS synapse

Ralf Schneggenburger, Olexiy Kochubey

Transmitter release at synapses is driven by elevated intracellular Ca2+ concentration (Ca2+) near the sites of vesicle fusion. Ca2+ signals of profoundly different amplitude and kinetics drive the phasic release component during a presynaptic ac ...

Pore-forming toxins induce multiple cellular responses promoting survival

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Mirko Bischofberger, Rodrigo Manuel Gonzalez, Sylvia Ho

Pore-forming toxins (PFTs) are secreted proteins that contribute to the virulence of a great variety of bacterial pathogens. They inflict one of the more disastrous damages a target cell can be exposed to: disruption of plasma membrane integrity. Since thi ...

Ephaptic coupling of cortical neurons

Henry Markram, Rodrigo de Campos Perin, Constantinos Anastassiou

The electrochemical processes that underlie neural function manifest themselves in ceaseless spatiotemporal field fluctuations. However, extracellular fields feed back onto the electric potential across the neuronal membrane via ephaptic coupling, independ ...

Unusual Rydberg System Consisting of a Positively Charged Helium Nanodroplet with an Orbiting Electron

Marcel Drabbels, Evgeniy Loginov

Evidence is presented of an unusual Rydberg system consisting of a helium nanodroplet containing a positively charged sodium ion and an orbiting electron. Rydberg states of this system with principal quantum number n

The effect of tissue geometry on the activation recovery interval of atrial myocytes

Vincent Jacquemet

The propagation of electric activity inside a realistically-shaped, thick-walled model of the atria was studied. The membrane kinetics was based on the formulations of Courtemanche, Ramirez and Nattel. In spite of the assumed uniformity of all kinetics par ...
