Mitochondria located in the axon, a neuron’s output structure, are discrete organelles that are either stationary or motile. 2 In contrast, mitochondria are jammed together and often overlap in ...

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine researchers have discovered a dual regulatory mechanism safeguarding ...

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

In 2004, Hans-Hermann Gerdes’ group from the University of Heidelberg discovered open-ended, membrane-enclosed channels between neuron-like cells ... As aggregate accumulation can result in ...

Farris and her team discovered that mitochondria in CA2 neurons are not uniform. Instead, their structure and function vary depending on their location within the neuron. Mitochondria in the ...

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 ...

“Neuronal aging and neurodegenerative ... They focused on impaired mitochondrial transport in the axon, a portion of nerve ...

Following neuron migration, neurons send out an axon and are ultimately able to create the rudimentary networks necessary to facilitate information processing and behavioral patterns. The pathway ...
