Synaptic Noise Project Proposal.
Group Members: Waleed Farag, Kevin Murtagh, Nina Verghis
Intro
[edit]- Definition of synaptic noise
- General overview
Implications of Synaptic Noise
[edit]- Seen as both a positive and negative occurrence
- Relation to stochastic noise
In the Hippocampus
[edit]- Significance to memories
- How it affects
- Injuries and implications of synaptic noise and diseases
In Sensory Neurons
[edit]- Overview of sensory neurons
- How synaptic noise affects and is needed
Division of Work
[edit]The group will work independently to collect and analyze sources. We will also meet at regularly scheduled times to compile our information and to form a clear and comprehensive article.
