Spontaneous Brain Activity Drives Early Neural Circuit Formation
When the activity was poorly synchronized, axon branches were instead eliminated. "That tells us that when these cells fire together, associations are strengthened," said Liang Liang, co-senior ...

New study uncovers how brain cells form precise circuits before experience is able to shape wiring
When the activity was poorly synchronized, axon branches were instead eliminated. "That tells us that when these cells fire together, associations are strengthened," said Liang Liang, co-senior ...

The structure and function of the nervous system
A long fibre (axon) which is insulated by a fatty (myelin) sheath. They are long so they can carry messages up and down the body. Tiny branches (dendrons) which branch further as dendrites at each ...

They have some features in common: A long fibre (axon) which is insulated by a fatty (myelin) sheath. They are long so they can carry messages up and down the body. Tiny branches (dendrons ...
