An international team of scientists led by Université de Montréal medical professor Frédéric Charron, director of the ...

Recent advances from MIT researchers are paving the way for unprecedented methods to monitor and potentially heal individual cells, with the focus now on neurons. Traditionally, cells have been seen ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine, led by Dr. Shigeki Watanabe, have found that axons aren’t the smooth, cylindrical ...

The signal travels through the cell body and into the neuron’s axon. The activated axon releases ... This process is driven by synaptic plasticity. Synapses are gaps between neurons that ...

Red circles indicate non-glomerular synapses. We next examined the cellular organization ... the boundary between the mistargeted and normally targeted RGC axons would be composed of TC dendrites ...

A collaborative study in neuroscience, spearheaded by a research team of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), sheds light on new possibilities for treating central nervous ...

A typical neuron will have thousands of dendrites, with each connecting to an axon of another neuron. The connection is called a synapse but is not a physical one. There is a gap between the ends ...
