A typical neuron will have thousands of dendrites, with each connecting to an axon of another neuron. The connection is called a synapse but is not a physical one. There is a gap between the ends ...
12). In this plate, one out of five inferior olivary neuron axons has such a collateral. Ramón y Cajal was always extremely keen on combining his morphological discoveries with functional ...
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 axons of all olfactory sensory neurons that express a particular odorant receptor subtype project to one of two stereotyped positions within the olfactory bulb. Surprisingly, the odorant receptor ...
axons can form macro beads that are sort of like "stress balls for the brain". These clumps might form to stop the spread of damaging wave signals through a neuron's tail, and they tend to ...
Following neuron migration, neurons send out an axon and are ultimately able to create the rudimentary networks necessary to facilitate information processing and behavioral patterns. The pathway ...
The axons of a neuron – the arm-like structures that stretch out and exchange signals with other brain cells like wires – are often depicted as sausage-like cylindrical tubes, but new imaging ...
