A team of researchers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) developed a computational method that improves the tracking of neurogenesis as neurons ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Pyramidal neurons have basal and apical dendrites, including an apical ... of voltage-gated conductances. Inhibitory synapses specifically target the axon, soma or different dendritic domains.

Central to this activity are synapses, the junctions where branches of neurons connect, similar to electrical wires. Here, an axon from one neuron links to a dendrite of another. At these synapses ...

laevis swimming network and determined that touch-activated swimming behavior involved seven different neuron types ... assigned probabilities predicting whether axons and dendrites would form ...

A neuron-specific splice variant of ... function cooperatively to define precise sites of synapse formation between axons and dendrites, and to determine heterogeneity in molecular composition ...

Researchers have identified the mitochondrial calcium uniporter as a critical protein in the strengthening of synaptic ...

Now, scientists have discovered a new mechanism by which these crucial supporting players detect and respond to neuron damage ... Neurons rely on axons and dendrites for communication; axons ...

There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again. For example, noradrenaline.
