While the neural architecture responsible for the transmission of electrical impulses has been known for more than a century, the basic biology behind how a neuron acquires its one and only axon -- a ...
While mutated C9ORF72 leads to some forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal degeneration (FTD), scientists still wonder what the healthy protein does. In the October 10 Nature ...
Japanese and American scientists have together designed a microdevice that efficiently promotes the formation of axon fascicles from stem cell-derived neurons. The 3-D structures are common in the ...
Axonal conduction velocity, which ensures efficient function of the brain network, is related to axon diameter. Noninvasive, in vivo axon diameter estimates can be made with diffusion magnetic ...
Effective axon regeneration is critical for restoring nerve function in patients with axon injury-related neurological ...
While the neural architecture responsible for the transmission of electrical impulses has been known for more than a century, the basic biology behind how a neuron acquires its one and only axon -- a ...
The axon terminals, also known as terminal buttons, are the branched endings of the axon. These terminals form synapses with ...
Axons are the structures through which neurons transmit information to other cells. In the body, they aggregate to form fascicles. Several technologies allow scientists to generate and study single ...
