"We analyzed the same data in which we previously traced axons, this time selecting about 2,000 neurons with the best image quality of dendrites for complete reconstruction," Yan explained.

Neurons rely on axons and dendrites for communication; axons send messages out, while dendrites receive those incoming, some with the help of cilia extending from their tips. Cilia detect odors ...

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 ...

These battery-free, subcellular-sized devices, made of a soft polymer, are designed to gently wrap around different parts of neurons, such as axons and dendrites, without damaging the cells, upon ...

Whereas no distinction between dendrites and axons was made in this study, it has been shown that activation of Notch results in inhibition of dendrite growth in culture 65.

Here’s something to wrap your mind around: The human brain is more complex than any other known structure in the universe. Weighing in at three pounds, on average, this spongy mass of fat and ...

Neurons can also be categorized by their basic structure. Unipolar neurons have one nerve process that acts as both an axon and a dendrite whereas bipolar neurons have both a single axon and a single ...

In neurons, various activities occur within distinct subcellular compartments, such as axons, dendrites, and the cell body.
