Suffice it to say, the hidden hand of Nature nudges you, whether you like it or not, down the self-similar branching paths of ...

If you've ever noticed how memories from the same day seem connected while events from weeks apart feel separate, a new study ...

Multipolar neurons have a single axon and multiple dendrites. They are the most common neuron found in mammalian bodies. Neuron Function Synapses Neural synapses are junctions between neurons that ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

Instead, their structure and function vary depending on their location within the neuron. Mitochondria in the farthest reaches of the dendrites of neurons—at the outermost synaptic input ...

Learn how dendrites help the brain link memories that happen close together in time, according to new research from Ohio ...

New structural markers of memory storage uncovered by Scripps Research may pave the way for new treatments for memory loss.

Underpinning this process is a phenomenon known as dendritic translation, which involves an uptick in localized protein ...

Thin film devices, composed of layers of materials a few nanometers thick, play an important role in various technologies, ...

The need for a neuron to collect and integrate input signals underlies the distinct morphology of its dendritic tree. Although the striking morphological diversity of dendrites has been known ...

Researchers have developed a new AI model that predicts dendritic growth in thin films, helping optimize thin-film growth ...
