Types of Neurons Sensory neurons The cell bodies of sensory ... Multipolar neurons have a single axon and multiple dendrites. They are the most common neuron found in mammalian bodies. Neuron Function ...

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

The axons of all olfactory sensory neurons that express a particular odorant receptor subtype project to one of two stereotyped positions within the olfactory bulb. Surprisingly, the odorant receptor ...

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

In this Review, I describe the latest findings in cranial motor neuron patterning and axon guidance, focusing mainly on mouse and chick studies (as zebrafish studies have been reviewed elsewhere ...

Medically reviewed by Huma Sheikh, MD Neurons are the cells in our body that are responsible for transmitting electrical ...

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 ...

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 ...

The lone axon of each pyramidal neuron typically emanates from the base of the soma and branches profusely, making many excitatory glutamatergic synaptic contacts along its length. Critical to the ...
