2). However, agrin itself is not necessary for the formation of neuron–neuron synapses. This has led to an intensive search for trans-neuronal inducers. Among the candidates are cadherins ...

In contrast, plasticity in basal dendrites was linked to the neuron's overall output—strengthening or weakening depending on how synapse activity aligned with global action potential firing.

Multipolar neurons have a single axon and multiple dendrites. They are the most common neuron found in mammalian bodies. Neuron Function Synapses Neural synapses are junctions between neurons that ...

We specifically focus on the role of microglia and astrocytes in reorganization of synapses and neural circuits. We aim to reveal the underlying mechanisms by which the brain adapts to its environment ...

When a neuron “fires,” it sends an electrochemical ... and the junctions at which these structures connect are called synapses. We also know that not all neural connections are equal.

Our research investigates how these liquid-like properties contribute to the main function of the neuron in synaptic ...

The Synapse Okay, so we have the basic anatomy of a neuron down… or do we? Those signals have traveled all the way down the axon to the terminal to fulfill an important job–not just fizzle out ...
