Complement-mediated neuronal loss by sialic acid glycocalyx alterations
(2018-04-23)
Every neuronal cell is covered with a dense structure of glycoconjugates, the glycocalyx. Sialic acids form the terminal ends of the glycocalyx and thus, are more accessible for the cellular environment. Microglia, the ...
Animal-Robot Interactions: Electrocommunication, Sensory Ecology, and Group Dynamics in a Mormyrid Weakly Electric Fish
(2018-12-12)
Mormyrid weakly electric fish possess a specialized electrosensory system. During the process of active electrolocation, these animals perceive self-generated electric organ dis-charges (EOD) and are thereby able to detect ...
