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

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 ...

Forget the traditional tubular shape—researchers are investigating a pearl-on-a-string formation for axons, unlocking new insights into neural signaling in health and disease. Laura is an assistant ...

Visual system axons projecting from the thalamus may use ... neurotrophin-3, neurotrophin 4/5 Neuronal survival, proliferation of oligodendrocyte progenitors, down-regulate macrophage's ...

The researchers suspected that peripheral neuropathy is caused by the immune system, so used single-cell sequencing to detect ...

Understanding how the convergence of multiple mechanisms results in neuronal loss may offer opportunities for neuroprotective interventions. Mechanisms of the Pro-Regenerative Response to Axon Injury ...

When it comes to tau tangles, cortical deposits receive the lion’s share of scientists’ attention, but it is the tiny subcortical regions where tangles originate that might set the course for ...

Neurofilament light (NFL) is a powerful and sensitive biomarker for tracking neuronal health and disease progression.

Neurons rely on axons and dendrites for communication ... Specifically, they discovered a new signaling pathway involving DGS-1, a neuronal protein, and FIG-1, a glial protein.
