In other words, the probability of finding a synapse between two neurons is not proportional to the number of spatial overlaps between their respective axons and dendrites.

Neurons transmit sensory and mechanical information across synapses and along axons throughout the body via chemical signals and electrical impulses.

During brain development, central excitatory synapses increase in number and change in morphology. Specific cell-surface molecules are believed to mediate dendrite–axon contact and to have a ...

The axon of one neuron, a dendrite of another, and the gap between them are collectively called a synapse. LTP is the idea that synapses that are used often grow strong.

Overexpression of an activity-dependent protein, CPG15, in Xenopus tectal cells promotes growth of tectal dendrites and retinal axons, and may coordinate their development.

Synapses are well-known to occur between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of other neurons, but had never been observed between the neuron's axon and the primary cilium.

It normally ends with a number of synapses connecting to the dendrites of other neurons. Both dendrites and axons are sometimes referred to as nerve fibers. Axons vary in length a great deal.

These signals then travel down long strands of neural tissue called axons.The signals are then received by intricate, branched filaments called dendrites and the junctions at which these ...

This has potential for long-term effects facilitated by synapses on cilia provides an insight into an aspect of neuronal communication previously unexplored. Traditional synapses, formed between an ...
