Role of actin cytoskeleton in dendritic spine morphogenesis

Y Sekino, N Kojima, T Shirao - Neurochemistry international, 2007 - Elsevier
Dendritic spines are the postsynaptic receptive regions of most excitatory synapses, and their
morphological plasticity play a pivotal role in higher brain functions, such as learning and …

Fast scramblers

Y Sekino, L Susskind - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider the problem of how fast a quantum system can scramble (thermalize)
information, given that the interactions are between bounded clusters of degrees of freedom; …
