By influencing calcium homeostasis, local protein synthesis and the endoplasmic reticulum, a small protein called Rab10 emerges as a crucial cytoplasmic regulator of neuropeptide secretion.

Moreover, Serafini and colleagues provide evidence that endogenous neuroligins are involved in presynaptic differentiation at contacts between pontine axons and granule neuron dendrites.

A new study shows that our brains physically link memories formed close together in time through changes in the dendrites of neurons, rather than in the cell bodies.

Multipolar neurons have a single axon and multiple dendrites. They are the most common neuron found in mammalian bodies. Neuron Function Synapses Neural synapses are junctions between neurons that ...

If you think of a neuron as a computer, dendrites are like tiny computers inside it, each performing its own calculations. This discovery shows that our brains can link information arriving close ...

Learn how dendrites help the brain link memories that happen close together in time, according to new research from Ohio ...

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 ...

Now, scientists have discovered a new mechanism by which these crucial supporting players detect and respond to neuron damage ... that extend out of nematode dendrites, so that the glial cells ...

“What you can now do”, Roska says, “is look simultaneously at all 150-200 presynaptic neurons that give input to your postsynaptic neuron and ... the cell bodies and dendrites, and these ...

Horch’s current research focuses on Spätzle, a neurotrophin proven to be important for cell survival and axon outgrowth in ...
