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

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

The nucleus where the genes that modify neuron function are controlled is a long distance away from where neurons receive input from their synapses, which are located in distant dendrites that ...

Mark Dell'Acqua, professor of pharmacology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and senior author of the study The nucleus where the genes that modify neuron function are ...
