Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 ...

1 Neurons are composed of a cell body containing the nucleus, dendrites that receive chemical, electrical, or other signals via receptors or through gap junctions (direct connections between two ...

Neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's involve progressive neuronal loss due to ...

Myelinated axons are present in sensory neurons and motor neurons, but not all sensory and motor neurons are myelinated. Most neurons that carry signals regarding movement and higher-level ...

Previous research at YSM has shown that as these spheroids grow, they block electricity conduction in the axons, which can hinder the ability to communicate with other neurons. In their latest ...

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence, in collaboration with the University of Regensburg and Stanford University, have identified specific populations of neurons ...

By influencing calcium homeostasis, local protein synthesis and the endoplasmic reticulum, a small protein called Rab10 emerges as a crucial cytoplasmic regulator of neuropeptide secretion.

Dual-leucine zipper kinase is an upstream activator (a “MAP3K”) of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways that is highly expressed in neurons, the authors explained. Axons are the ...

Rasband's team is discovering the functional organization of axons in health as well as disease or injury ... require the precise subcellular localization of ion channels in neurons. For example, ...
