Short-range association fibers located in the superficial white matter play an important role in mediating higher-order cognitive function in humans. Detailed morphological characterization of short-range association fibers at the microscopic level p...
Spiking neural network (SNN) hardware relies on implicit assumptions that prioritize dendritic/synaptic learning above axon/synaptic concerns, compromising performances in signal capacity, accuracy, and compactness of SNN systems. Herein, we develop ...

PURPOSE: Assessment of glaucomatous damage in animal models is facilitated by rapid and accurate quantification of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axonal loss and morphologic change. However, manual assessment is extremely time- and labor-intensive. Here...

PURPOSE: Optic nerve damage is the principal feature of glaucoma and contributes to vision loss in many diseases. In animal models, nerve health has traditionally been assessed by human experts that grade damage qualitatively or manually quantify axo...
In plastic neuronal networks, the synaptic strengths are adapted to the neuronal activity. Specifically, spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) is a fundamental mechanism that modifies the synaptic strengths based on the relative timing of pre- and...

Here we propose a model of a peripheral axon with a great deal of autonomy from its cell body-the autonomous axon-but with a substantial dependence on its ensheathing Schwann cell (SC), the axon-SC unit. We review evidence in several fields and show ...
