MIT neuroscientists have made a breakthrough in treating fragile X syndrome by leveraging a novel neurotransmitter signaling ...

This study demonstrates the critical role of Afadin on the generation and maintenance of complex cellular layers in the mouse retina. The data are solid, which provides important insights into how ...

Building on more than two decades of research, a study by MIT neuroscientists at The Picower Institute for Learning and ...

Understanding key concepts in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology can be challenging for many Class 10 students. However, ...

Instead, their structure and function vary depending on their location within the neuron. Mitochondria in the farthest reaches of the dendrites ... at the outermost synapses, while those closer ...

It has also been reported in parvalbumin-positive hippocampal basket cells, in dendrites innervated by feedback excitatory synapses. Whether other interneurons, which support feed-forward or feedback ...

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 ...

Relay interneurons: These interneurons have long axons and connect different neurons and regions of the brain. Interneurons have a multipolar structure that allows them to receive multiple signals and ...
