Biochemical confinements without walls in aspiny neurons

Pablo E Castillo & Kamran Khodakhah

Pablo Castillo and Kamran Khodakuh are in the Department of Neuroscience, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, 1410 Pelham Parkway South, Bronx, New York 10461, USA. pcastill@aecom.yu.edu or kkhodakh@aecotm.yu.edu
