Researchers: Ferroelectric DRAM smaller, faster than flash Aug 13, 2009
To make memories nonvolatile, chip makers must shield bit cells from the depolarization fields normally created by the circuitry of silicon chips ... "Several chip makers have nonvolatilie FRAMs, but they shield the bit cell from depolarization fields by sandwiching the ferroelectric material between two metals, making their cell sizes too large to be competitive with flash," said Ma.

If we can all agree, regardless of our political beliefs, that this is a wonderful story, then maybe there is hope for the depolarization of American. Lovely story. (CBS News -- Evening News)
Neural Signal Transduction May 30, 2009
AMPA receptors must come along and provide this initial internal depolarization. AMPA receptors alone don t form very strong synapses, as NMDA receptors allow an influx of calcium and a strong internal depolarization. (Suite101.com)

Migraine Mice Exhibit Enhanced Excitatory Transmission At Cortical Synapses Mar 13, 2009
CSD is a wave of strong neuronal depolarization that slowly progresses across the cerebral cortex, generating a transient increase in electrical signals followed by a long-lasting neural suppression. It has also been suggested that CSD may trigger mechanisms that initiate the migraine headache. (Science Daily)
