Pyramidal neurons: dendritic structure and synaptic integration
Pyramidal neurons are characterized by their distinct apical and basal dendritic trees and the pyramidal shape ... neurons — have offered insights into the functions of their unique cellular ...
Research suggests neurons protect and preserve certain information through a dedicated zone of stable synapses
and they branch of from the main body of the cell into a tree-like structure. Spiny protrusions along the dendrites form the ...

Making New Spinal Neurons
The researchers have developed a two-step method for transforming astrocytes—star-shaped support cells in the nervous system—into neurons, all in the bodies of living rodents. Although they have not ...

Scientists identify neurons in mice that, once activated, can change body's metabolic rate, induce hibernation-like state
"We've tapped into the body's own energy-saving toolkit. By activating these neurons, we can trigger an ancient survival mechanism present in mammals," de Lartigue said. "If we can control the ...

Spread of dendritic excitation in layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons in rat barrel cortex in vivo
Sodium action potentials can propagate somatofugally into the dendritic tree of cortical pyramidal neurons 1, as shown by electrophysiology and optical imaging of [Ca 2+] in brain slices (for ...
