This study presents solid evidence for distinct neurotransmitter release modalities between two subclasses of dopaminergic neurons in the olfactory bulb, highlighting an important finding that ...

If the drug is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of acute pain in January as expected, the ...

The axon initial segment (AIS) is where nerve signals begin, and its adaptability is key to brain function. Scientists have found that the AIS changes in response to activity levels, helping neurons ...

Drugs targeting amyloid plaques have failed to show efficacy in clinical trials. A new approach is needed to tackle AD ...

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

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 ...

Additional validation using adult DRG neuron cultures not aged in vitro will be required ... as the tracer accumulates at the axon's tip. This limitation makes it extremely challenging to distinguish ...

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

Each neuron has two main parts: a cell body and a tail-like extension called the axon. The spinal cord has some cell clusters called the dorsal root ganglia (DRG). The axons of the neurons in ...

However, axon collaterals from wS2-projecting and wM1/2-projecting ... Supplementary Movie 1. 3D view of the S2p neuron (AP049) shown in Figure 3. Supplementary Movie 2. 3D view of the M1p neuron ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial ...
