Forget the traditional tubular shape—researchers are investigating a pearl-on-a-string formation for axons, unlocking new ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the ...

Treating the neurons and me — my mental states — in a synergistic way proved to speed up and enhance healing. It does for ...

But neurons are not alone in the brain or elsewhere in the nervous system: Brain cells called glia play various supporting roles to keep the system running smoothly. Between the axon of a ...

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 ...

and send signals to other neurons with a long cable-like part called the axon. Axons and dendrites vary in size, but axons are generally longer and sometimes an axon can be up to a meter long..

Neurons rely on axons and dendrites for communication; axons send messages out, while dendrites receive those incoming, some with the help of cilia extending from their tips. Cilia detect odors ...

A study in the journal Pharmaceuticals has uncovered how specific genetic mutations in α2δ-1 and α2δ-3 proteins linked to ...

We hypothesize that changes within the population of olfactory sensory neurons may facilitate adaptation of an individual’s olfactory system to its unique olfactory environment. 2. How does odorant ...
