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

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, ...

This study presents solid evidence for distinct neurotransmitter release modalities between two subclasses of dopaminergic neurons in the olfactory bulb, highlighting an important finding that ...

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 ...

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 ...

developmental synapse elimination has been studied in several model systems in mammals (Figure 1A). In some systems, axons compete for one postsynaptic target. In other systems, dendrites from the ...

Here, we propose a mechanistic model in which dendrite growth and the organization ... (a) Schematic of the soma of a pyramidal neuron (orange triangle) with 12 randomly distributed potential synapses ...
