A team of researchers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) developed a computational method that improves the tracking of neurogenesis as neurons ...

Additionally, removing cholesterol from the neuron’s membrane made it less stiff and more fluid-like, altering the axon’s shape and reducing pearling. Based on these results, Watanabe set out to test ...

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 ...

Multipolar neurons have a single axon and multiple dendrites. They are the most common neuron found in mammalian bodies. Neuron Function Synapses Neural synapses are junctions between neurons that ...

Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence researchers have identified over 60 transcriptomic neuron types in the ...

In this Review, I describe the latest findings in cranial motor neuron patterning and axon guidance, focusing mainly on mouse and chick studies (as zebrafish studies have been reviewed elsewhere ...

At the end of each neuron is a tiny gap called a synapse ... In most cases, a neurotransmitter is released from what's known as the axon terminal after an action potential (aka electrical signal ...

The lone axon of each pyramidal neuron typically emanates from the base of the soma and branches profusely, making many excitatory glutamatergic synaptic contacts along its length. Critical to the ...

Axon is rolling out new products including an AI platform that it claims can improve public safety while generating new sales. The company has delivered incredible growth, including sales ...
