MYELINATION AND ISOCHRONICITY IN NEURAL NETWORKS

Myelination and isochronicity in neural networks

Our brain contains a multiplicity of neuronal networks.In many of these, information sent from presynaptic neurons travels through a variety of pathways of different distances, yet arrives at the postsynaptic cells at the same time.Such isochronicity is achieved either by changes in the conduction velocity of axons or by lengthening the axonal path

15-year Borrelia prevalence and species distribution monitoring in Ixodes ricinus/inopinatus populations in the city of Hanover, Germany

Lyme borreliosis, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) spirochaetes, is the most common tick-borne disease (TBD) in the Northern Hemisphere.Rising incidences indicate that its epidemiology may be affected by global changes.Therefore, the current study aimed to assess changes in tick infection rates with Borrelia spp.over a 15-year monit
