Here, we used a two-pronged modeling approach to determine how age-related myelin changes affect a core cognitive function: spatial working memory. First, we built a multicompartment pyramidal neuron ...

The process starts when a signal, also called an action potential, is sent from the neuron's cell body towards the axon. Along the surface of the axon membrane are channels that allow ions like sodium ...

Not every axon is myelinated – some, even those bundled into myelin-containing tracts – remain unsheathed. One estimate suggests that only 30% of the mouse corpus callosum (the bundle of nerve fibers ...

Sensory neuron diseases (SND) are a distinct subgroup of peripheral-nervous-system diseases, first acknowledged in 1948. Acquired SND have a subacute or chronic course and are associated with systemic ...

Proteins that are crucial for a properly functioning nervous system appear to work as a molecular glue, binding cells together with high precision. Researchers from Utrecht University watched the ...

Introduction Myelinated nerve fibers are important structures that transfer action potentials quickly and reliably, maintaining neural functioning. The myelin sheath formation on axons is known to ...
