Forget the traditional tubular shape—researchers are investigating a pearl-on-a-string formation for axons, unlocking new ...

Categorizes the exit position of primary dendrites and axon from the soma into 10 vertical locations. Soma is indexed with integer label n = '1', and neuronal type T = '1') Axon is labeled with ...

The axon initial segment (AIS) is where nerve signals begin, and its adaptability is key to brain function. Scientists have found that the AIS changes in response to activity levels, helping neurons ...

Three new papers demonstrate a role for the axon guidance molecule semaphorin ... This allowed them to pick apart how olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) axons from the antennae and from the maxillary ...

Treating the neurons and me — my mental states — in a synergistic way proved to speed up and enhance healing. It does for ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

The structure of an HTM cell, or neuron, is modeled after pyramidal neurons in the neocortex. In a real neuron when it is in an active state the axon outputs a short burst of action potentials. When ...

Here, we investigated single-neuron current and voltage stimulation in vitro using high-density microelectrode ... of our arrays and the close proximity of the electrodes to the respective neurons, we ...

These findings, published in Neuron, highlight the importance of lipid ... While this discovery sheds light on axon ...

Here, an axon from one neuron links to a dendrite of another. At these synapses, neurotransmitters carry signals across the ...

CST axon densities were diverse in the clinical PMA group ... or a combination of UMN and LMN degeneration with FUS-positive basophilic inclusion body disease. The characteristics of motor neuron ...
