Brain cells called glia play various supporting roles to keep the system running smoothly. Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the ...

However, axon collaterals from wS2-projecting and wM1/2-projecting neurons were typically ... (2018). An open repository for single-cell reconstructions of the brain forest. Sci. Data 5:180006. doi: ...

Using a new method to study how carbohydrates modify proteins, scientists have discovered that gut bacteria can alter molecular signatures in the brain.

A diffusion-relaxation model to estimate the intra-axonal T 2 and T 1 was proposed. - The histological inner axon radius modulated the estimated relaxation times. - A surface-based relaxation model ...

Treating the neurons and me — my mental states — in a synergistic way proved to speed up and enhance healing. It does for ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

In flies defective for axonal transport of mitochondria, the authors report the upregulation of one subunit, the beta subunit, of the heterotrimeric eIF2 complex via mass spectroscopy proteome ...

Axons and dendrites vary in size ... gaining the ability to control brain cells with the flash of a light. The cells can be programmed to react to light through genetic altering.

In this valuable paper, the authors created a reporter mouse line in which the Axon Initial Segment (AIS) is intrinsically labeled by an ankyrin-G-GFP fusion protein activated by Cre recombinase, ...
