(Medical Xpress)—The well-behaved neuron receives signals through its many dendrites to generate spikes on a single axon. The electrical energy of these signals is generally believed to be ...

The green axon does not connect with these two dendrites and is thus in a less suitable position for the formation of spatial overlaps.

A typical neuron is composed of three main structures: the cell body, axon, and dendrites. The cell body is where most of the cellular organelles are located, including the nucleus, which contains the ...

Uncharted territory 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.

Neurons are complicated, but the basic functional concept is that synapses transmit electrical signals to the dendrites and cell body, and axons carry signals away. In one of many surprise ...

Messenger RNAs and the structures needed for protein translation have been found in neuronal dendrites and axons. This article reviews the possible mechanisms for mRNA localization in neuronal ...

Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), governs axon and dendrite growth in determining cell polarity, according to research groups from China and Japan. GSK-3β is found throughout neurons but is less ...

Researchers have created the 'largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date,' said Nature ...

In neurons, various activities occur within distinct subcellular compartments, such as axons, dendrites, and the cell body. Understanding and controlling these specialized regions is critical for ...

This image shows the researchers' subcellular-sized devices, which are designed to gently wrap around different parts of neurons, such as axons and dendrites, without damaging the cells. The ...
