Robustness against additional noise in cellular information transmission
Takehiro Tottori, Masashi Fujii, Shinya Kuroda
Fluctuations in intracellular reactions (intrinsic noise) reduce the information transmitted from an extracellular input to a cellular response. However, recent studies have demons…
Small-volume effect enables the spine robust, sensitive and efficient information transfer
Masashi Fujii, Kaoru Ohashi, Yasuaki Karasawa +2
Why is the spine of a neuron so small that only small numbers of molecules can exist and reactions inevitably become stochastic? Despite such noisy conditions, we previously showed…
Stochasticity in Ca increase in spines enables robust and sensitive information coding
Takuya Koumura, Hidetoshi Urakubo, Kaoru Ohashi +2
A dendritic spine is a very small structure (~0.1 μm) of a neuron that processes input timing information. Why are spines so small? Here, we provide functional reasons; the siz…
A mass conserved reaction-diffusion system captures properties of cell polarity
Mikiya Otsuji, Shuji Ishihara, Carl Co +3
Various molecules exclusively accumulate at the front or back of migrating eukaryotic cells in response to a shallow gradient of extracellular signals. Directional sensing and sign…
