goddess of love; counterpart of Greek Aphrodite (同)Urania
the second nearest planet to the sun; it is peculiar in that its rotation is slow and retrograde (in the opposite sense of the Earth and all other planets except Uranus); it is visible from Earth as an early `morning star or an `evening star; "before it was known that they were the same object the evening star was called Venus and the morning star was called Lucifer"

Addiction can be considered as a form of neuronal adaptation within the reward circuitry. Upon psychostimulant administration, long-term behavioral adaptations are associated with synaptic plasticity and morphological changes of medium spiny neurons (MSN) from the striatum. Increased spine density o

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience.J Neurosci.2013 Mar 6;33(10):4434-55. doi: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.3667-12.2013.
The concept of a tripartite synapse including a presynaptic terminal, a postsynaptic spine, and an astrocytic process that responds to neuronal activity by fast gliotransmitter release, confers to the electrically silent astrocytes an active role in information processing. However, the mechanisms of

Bioinspiration & biomimetics.Bioinspir Biomim.2011 Dec;6(4):046004. doi: 10.1088/1748-3182/6/4/046004. Epub 2011 Oct 12.
The work described in this paper is a novel design of a robotic Venus flytrap (VFT) (Dionaea muscipula Ellis) by means of ionic polymeric metal composite (IPMC) artificial muscles as distributed nanosensors and nanoactuators. Rapid muscular movements in carnivorous plants, such as VFT, which are tri
