Thermodynamics

😢🙏🙏🙏

"In an unexpected twist in neuroscience dogma, the cells on the receiving end of neurotransmission appear to be able to release glutamate to regulate the transmitting cell’s activity."

Had a great time sharing "The secret behind neuron’s energy efficiency" @OsloMetAI monthly meeting. Thanks @KrisHeiney @stenichele for the invitation. Glad that renewed interest in Brain's computing efficiency has made the thermodynamic contradictions in neuroscience exigent.

Nice to see popular interest in the topic youtube.com/watch?v=LdGMDU…

Nice work from Pollack's group "We show that the gel barrier is able to maintain a stable separation of ionic solutions of different ionic strengths and chemical compositions without any pumping activity." pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

So excited that this book is out , an extensive compilation of the papers published by Hodgkin and Huxley . Already bought it 😍 should be a must read for anyone doing electrophysiology press.princeton.edu/books/paperbac…

If only I could show Doctor Langmuir the amazing shock waves that we discovered in these single-molecule thin films ;) and talk about their relation to signalling in neurons!

A sound wave is a constant entropy process. So I find it quite amusing that we feel so comfortable with with one concept but not the other. Maybe we overestimate our understanding of what is a sound wave, because we are so familiar with them we just don't think about them much?

A must-read case study for anyone who is pushing for ideas that go against the mainstream "Superconductivity, what the H? The emperor has no clothes" arxiv.org/abs/2001.09496

#mechanobiology workshop at @IBECBarcelona with @escolaipse thanks to @gerardoceada & @angelenito👩‍🔬👨‍🔬students have created a cell membrane model with soap 🧼 a visual way to show membrane protein transport and also explored how cells exert forces and measured them

@Mechanocontrol @IBECBarcelona @escolaipse @gerardoceada @angelenito @FETFX_EU @EUeic @NeuronsOf did this same thing in Oxford! 👨🏽‍🔬🧼

Have you heard ‘Sound Of Neuron’? Compression waves in a single-molecule thin film of fat are probably like the sound neurons make every time they fire. #MysterySoundMonday ! #IYS2020 soundcloud.com/user6148468/so… @acousticsorg

Kang et.al. observe heat and cold block for all-or-none solitary waves in a pure lipid interface, as predicted previously. link.springer.com/article/10.114… Should remove the misconceptions that phase transitions can't explain temperature dependence of nerve impulse 1/n

In the acoustic framework, it's the compressibility (fluctuations) that corresponds to channel activity and not the tension. Hypothesis is: Tension induces change in compressibility and hence function. New work from Martinac group lays it out perfectly biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
