2. How does odorant receptor activity control axon guidance and refinement? The axons of all olfactory sensory neurons that express a particular odorant receptor subtype project to one of two ...

Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or they affect the ability to see, taste, ...

in axon and dendrite targeting in the olfactory system. The researchers made use of a common model of sensory development — the Drosophila melanogaster olfactory system — together with some ...

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 greater number of conductances compared to the squid axon is associated with much more complex firing patterns than can be produced by the squid axon. Action potential shapes and firing ...
