A team of researchers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) developed a computational method that improves the tracking of neurogenesis as neurons ...

This study presents solid evidence for distinct neurotransmitter release modalities between two subclasses of dopaminergic neurons in the olfactory bulb, highlighting an important finding that ...

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 ...

Neurons rely on axons and dendrites for communication; axons send messages out, while dendrites receive those incoming, some with the help of cilia extending from their tips. Cilia detect odors ...

My lab studies how neuronal circuits form during embryonic development. Specifically, we identify and study genes required for the correct navigation of neuronal processes (axons and dendrites), a ...

Moreover, Serafini and colleagues provide evidence that endogenous neuroligins are involved in presynaptic differentiation at contacts between pontine axons and granule neuron dendrites.

Axons and dendrites sprout from the cell body, branching out in different directions in search of connections. Dendritic branches are densely populated with even smaller budding protrusions called ...

neuronal cell bodies, dendrites and some thick axonsin the central and peripheral nervous systems, but not thin axons;reflects extent of aberrant phosphorylation of neurofilaments in ...

For more than a century, axons — the slender arms of brain cells — have been depicted as uniform tubes. These structures are responsible for transmitting information across neurons.

Neurons rely on axons and dendrites for communication; axons send messages out, while dendrites receive those incoming, some with the help of cilia extending from their tips. Cilia detect odors ...
