While comparing neurons and transistors is a convenient metaphor (and not completely out of left field), the brain is ...

WEKA unveiled NeuralMesh Axon, a breakthrough storage system that leverages an innovative fusion architecture designed to ...

A Weizmann Institute study has identified hundreds of B2-SINE RNA molecules that drive nerve regeneration in mice. These ...

MIT scientists find evidence that a protein common to flies and people is essential for supporting the structure of axons that neurons project to make circuit connections. When those break down ...

How Do Neurons Work? Neurons transmit sensory and mechanical information across synapses and along axons throughout the body via chemical signals and electrical impulses.

Scientists at Yale University have uncovered an overlooked mechanism that may be behind the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. The team points the finger at small swellings on axons near plaques ...

By shutting down a hyperactive enzyme, scientists got damaged brain cells to regrow their lost “antennae” and restart ...

Summary: New research reveals how a tiny chemical mark on RNA helps wire the brain during development. Scientists discovered ...

Axon swellings distal from neuronal necrosis are stained with anti-phospho-Ser46-MARCKS antibody (yellow arrow). Interestingly, we observed phospho-MARCKS-positive neurites (see image at right) like ...

At high levels in blood, NfL indicates damage to the neuronal axons that carry information to neighbouring nerves, and is a potential biomarker for dementia.

This highlights the different neuronal pathway finding mechanisms observed between pioneering and subsequent axons, which are also seen throughout the nervous system.
