Maximum-Entropy Model of Colored Noise in Superdiffusive Axonal Growth
Julian Sutaria, Cristian Staii
We develop a coarse-grained stochastic theory for axonal growth on micropatterned substrates using the Shannon--Jaynes maximum entropy principle. Starting from a Langevin descripti…
Feedback-Driven Dynamical Model for Axonal Extension on Parallel Micropatterns
Kyle Cheng, Udathari Kumarasinghe, Cristian Staii
Despite significant advances in understanding neuronal development, a fully quantitative framework that integrates intracellular mechanisms with environmental cues during axonal gr…
Quantum Transport and Molecular Sensing in Reduced Graphene Oxide Measured with Scanning Probe Microscopy
Julian Sutaria, Cristian Staii
We report combined scanning probe microscopy and electrical measurements to investigate local electronic transport in reduced graphene oxide (rGO) devices. We demonstrate that quan…
Neuronal Growth and Formation of Neuron Networks on Directional Surfaces
Ilya Yurchenko, Matthew Farwell, Donovan D. Brady +1
The formation of neuron networks is a process of fundamental importance for understanding the development of the nervous system and for creating biomimetic devices for tissue engin…
Stochastic Models of Neuronal Growth
Cristian Staii
Neuronal circuits arise as axons and dendrites extend, navigate, and connect to target cells. Axonal growth, in particular, integrates deterministic guidance from substrate mechani…
Anomalous diffusion for neuronal growth on surfaces with controlled geometries
Ilya Yurchenko, Joao Marcos Vensi Basso, Vladyslav Serhiiovych Syrotenko +1
Geometrical cues are known to play a very important role in neuronal growth and the formation of neuronal networks. Here, we present a detailed analysis of axonal growth and dynami…
Role of geometrical cues in neuronal growth
Joao Marcos Vensi Basso, Ilya Yurchenko, Marc Simon +2
Geometrical cues play an essential role in neuronal growth. Here, we quantify axonal growth on surfaces with controlled geometries and report a general stochastic approach that qua…
Neuronal Growth as Diffusion in an Effective Potential
Daniel J. Rizzo, James D. White, Elise Spedden +4
Current understanding of neuronal growth is mostly qualitative, as the staggering number of physical and chemical guidance cues involved prohibit a fully quantitative description o…
Temperature response of the neuronal cytoskeleton mapped via atomic force and fluorescence microscopy
Elise Spedden, David L. Kaplan, Cristian Staii
Neuronal cells change their growth properties in response to external physical stimuli such as variations in external temperature, stiffness of the growth substrate, or topographic…
Neuronal Alignment On Asymmetric Textured Surfaces
Ross Beighley, Elise M. Spedden, Koray Sekeroglu +3
Axonal growth and the formation of synaptic connections are key steps in the development of the nervous system. Here we present experimental and theoretical results on axonal growt…
Kelvin Probe Microscopy and Electronic Transport Measurements in Reduced Graphene Oxide Chemical Sensors
Christopher E. Kehayias, Samuel MacNaughton, Sameer Sonkusale +1
Reduced Graphene Oxide (RGO) is an electronically hybrid material that displays remarkable chemical sensing properties. Here, we present a quantitative analysis of the chemical gat…
Elasticity Maps of Living Neurons Measured by Combined Fluorescence and Atomic Force Microscopy
Elise Spedden, James D. White, Elena N. Naumova +2
Detailed knowledge of mechanical parameters such as cell elasticity, stiffness of the growth substrate, or traction stresses generated during axonal extensions is essential for und…
High frequency Scanning Gate Microscopy and local memory effect of carbon nanotube transistors
Cristian Staii, Rui Shao, Dawn A. Bonnell +1
We use impedance spectroscopy to measure the high frequency properties of single-walled carbon nanotube field effect transistors (swCN-FETs). Furthermore, we extend Scanning Gate M…
