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

a protein that spans the cell membrane and matches up axons with dendrites to form synapses in the developing brain.

Aided by the black reaction, Golgi discovered the branching of the axon and found that, contrary to Gerlach's theory, dendrites are not fused in a network.

Dendrites of fast-spiking basket cells (FS BCs) impact neural circuit functions in brain with both supralinear and sublinear integration strategies. Diverse spatial synaptic inputs and active ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are ...

They used two-photon imaging to visualize individual axons and synapses in the brain of a live animal.

Axonal boutons are specialized endings of an axon, which is the long slender part of a neuron that connects neurons by transmitting neural signals. These are sites where synapses form, allowing ...

Some believe that when a person dies nothing remains that death is the end of personality Others believe in the continuity of life That the present incarnation is only a link in the chain of one s ent ...
