Highlights: * Messenger RNA methylation controls protein production essential for neuron development * Adenomatous ...

The segment’s neuron density is 16,000 neurons per cubic millimeter– about one-third lower than a previous density estimate of the same brain ... An image of an axon (blue) climbing up a ...

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.

What am I looking at? Here we see four individual dendrites with dendritic spines (1) extending from the main dendrite (2). The dendrites were colored to distinguish them from each other.. Biology in ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition that affects a significant proportion of older people ...

I wrote about Axon (NASDAQ:AXON) as early as mid-2024.It was expensive then, and it is expensive now. However, going through the latest information, it's clear that the company continues to earn ...

But how do brain cells send messages? The first step in this messaging process is the action potential, or a wave of electricity triggered in the nerve cell, or neuron.The neurons found in the ...

Watanabe had initially seen repeated axon pearling in the nervous system of worms and grew more curious about the structures ...

Axon’s website notes NASA scientist Jack Cover invented the first Taser energy weapon in the 1960s. In the early 1990s, a fresh-out-of-college Smith contacted Cover and began tinkering with a ...

We explain what a neuron looks like, what it does, and how it works. Health Conditions ... Axon — this long projection carries information from the soma and sends it off to other cells.

Synapses are well-known to occur between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of other neurons, but had never been observed between the neuron's axon and the primary cilium.

New research shows that low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can restore key synaptic structures in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.
