How does lateral inhibition contribute to sensory processing?

Our group has focused part of its work on developing practical methods of producing nonequilibrium polarization – or hyperpolarization – for signal enhancement ... The finding that cAMP facilitates activation of HCN channels by affecting their voltage dependence suggests that the gating mechanism operated by ... Hyperpolarization refers to a shift in a cell's membrane potential from positive to negative. It suppresses action potentials by increasing the amount of ... Hyperpolarization—that is, an increase in negative charge on the inside of the neuron—constitutes an inhibitory PSP, because it inhibits the neuron from firing ... Jan 17, 2022 ... We introduce a way to synthesize a fully deuterated, 15 N labelled amino acid derivative and the possibility to polarize the 15 N by means of hydrogenation ... transitive verb : to produce an increase in potential difference across (a biological membrane) intransitive verb : to undergo or produce an increase in ... experiments with CIDNP hyperpolarization. This setup has been described in detail in Ref. [52]. Two series of experiments were carried out: measurements of ...
