Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have identified a remarkably small but critical piece of genetic code ...

The connections between brain cells have been mapped with unprecedented molecular resolution using a new light-microscopy ...

NP65 KO mice showed a reduction in ribbon synapses and disarrangement between photoreceptor axon terminals and bipolar cell dendrites in the OPL. Vitreous injection of AAV-NP65 alleviated the ...

The evidence supporting this claim is compelling, demonstrating that SPNs uniquely integrate sparse input from variable stretches across the barrel cortex. The study would be of interest to basal ...

Finally, using machine learning, they stitched those images together into a digital reconstruction of axons, dendrites and synapses, allowing scientists to “walk through” the cortical wiring as if ...

They communicate by tossing molecules called neurotransmitters into the spaces between cells and catching them with arms called dendrites. These molecules ... of electricity that flows down its long ...

Myelinated neurons transmit electrical signals more quickly than the unmyelinated nerves in the body. Myelinated axons are present in sensory neurons and motor neurons, but not all sensory and motor ...

Assuming that each feature is represented with locally clustered synapses, a solution of the NFBP can be achieved when the co-active clusters on a single dendrite, corresponding to a relevant stimulus ...

Connections made via apical synapses seemed to be strengthened by movement information more than those made via basal ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from 'The Matrix,' scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they fire off ...
