  text: "Motivated by the analysis of highly dynamic message-passing systems, i.e.
    unbounded thread creation, mobility, etc. we present a framework for the analysis
    of depth-bounded systems. Depth-bounded systems are one of the most expressive
    known fragment of the π-calculus for which interesting verification problems are
    still decidable. Even though they are infinite state systems depth-bounded systems
    are well-structured, thus can be analyzed algorithmically. We give an interpretation
    of depth-bounded systems as graph-rewriting systems. This gives more flexibility
    and ease of use to apply depth-bounded systems to other type of systems like shared
    memory concurrency.\r\n\r\nFirst, we develop an adequate domain of limits for
    depth-bounded systems, a prerequisite for the effective representation of downward-closed
    sets. Downward-closed sets are needed by forward saturation-based algorithms to
    represent potentially infinite sets of states. Then, we present an abstract interpretation
    framework to compute the covering set of well-structured transition systems. Because,
    in general, the covering set is not computable, our abstraction over-approximates
    the actual covering set. Our abstraction captures the essence of acceleration
    based-algorithms while giving up enough precision to ensure convergence. We have
    implemented the analysis in the PICASSO tool and show that it is accurate in practice.
    Finally, we build some further analyses like termination using the covering set
    as starting point."

  text: 'CA3 pyramidal neurons are important for memory formation and pattern completion
    in the hippocampal network. These neurons receive multiple excitatory inputs from
    numerous sources. Therefore, the rules of spatiotemporal integration of multiple
    synaptic inputs and propagation of action potentials are important to understand
    how CA3 neurons contribute to higher brain functions at cellular level. By using
    confocally targeted patch-clamp recording techniques, we investigated the biophysical
    properties of rat CA3 pyramidal neuron dendrites. We found two distinct dendritic
    domains critical for action potential initiation and propagation: In the proximal
    domain, action potentials initiated in the axon backpropagate actively with large
    amplitude and fast time course. In the distal domain, Na+-channel mediated dendritic
    spikes are efficiently evoked by local dendritic depolarization or waveforms mimicking
    synaptic events. These findings can be explained by a high Na+-to-K+ conductance
    density ratio of CA3 pyramidal neuron dendrites. The results challenge the prevailing
    view that proximal mossy fiber inputs activate CA3 pyramidal neurons more efficiently
    than distal perforant inputs by showing that the distal synapses trigger a different
    form of activity represented by dendritic spikes. The high probability of dendritic
    spike initiation in the distal area may enhance the computational power of CA3
    pyramidal neurons in the hippocampal network.  '
