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 greater number of conductances compared to the squid axon is associated with much more complex firing patterns than can be produced by the squid axon. Action potential shapes and firing ...
A neuron-specific splice variant of agrin is released ... to rule out indirect effects via quantitative changes in axon or dendrite outgrowth, this blocking experiment strongly suggests that ...
Neurotransmitters are tiny chemical messengers that carry, boost, and balance signals between neurons (aka nerve cells) and target cells throughout the body. These target cells may be in glands, ...
