Pyramidal neurons have basal and apical dendrites, including an apical tuft. This preserved core structure suggests that they have conserved core functions, whereas structural variation in other areas ...

A diagram depicting the connectivity, where neurons are represented as points, and neurons with more similar connectivity are plotted closer together. Lines depict connections between neurons. The ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see – but it’s been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers at ...

Is there a difference in brain structure between men and women? If we were to find such a difference in a single neuron, would it matter? One of the most useful models for studying these questions is ...
