331 results about "Dendrite" patented technology

Dendrites (from Greek δένδρον déndron, "tree"), also dendrons, are branched protoplasmic extensions of a nerve cell that propagate the electrochemical stimulation. received from other neural cells to the cell body, or soma, of the neuron from which the dendrites project. Electrical stimulation is transmitted onto dendrites by upstream neurons (usually via their axons) via synapses which are located at various points throughout the dendritic tree. Dendrites play a critical role in integrating these synaptic inputs and in determining the extent to which action potentials are produced by the neuron. Dendritic arborization, also known as dendritic branching, is a multi-step biological process by which neurons form new dendritic trees and branches to create new synapses. The morphology of dendrites such as branch density and grouping patterns are highly correlated to the function of the neuron. Malformation of dendrites is also tightly correlated to impaired nervous system function. Some disorders that are associated with the malformation of dendrites are autism, depression, schizophrenia, Down syndrome and anxiety.

Systems and methods for controlling dendrite propagation in solid-state electrochemical cells

A solid-state electrochemical cell includes a solid electrolyte where at least a portion of the electrolyte is in a compressive stress state. The compressive stress state includes at least one stress component that is orthogonal to the preferred direction of dendrite growth, which may correspond to the direction of an electric field. If the magnitude of the stress component is sufficiently large (e.g., greater than 50 MPa), then the growth of a dendrite passing through that portion of the electrolyte may be suppressed or deflected towards the direction of the applied stress component. In this manner, a dendrite may be deflected away from a cathode, thus prolonging the life of the cell. The compressive stress state may be generated by applying an external mechanical load to the cell and / or generating a residual stress in the cell during manufacture or assembly.
