Researchers have developed a method using viruses to track neuronal development in frogs, shedding light on the evolution of ...

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.

B) Cultured cortical neuron expressing transcriptionally regulated PSD-95.FingR-tagRFP before ... Expressing paGFE3 in a Gal4 (zebrafish) or Cre (mouse) driver line would make it possible to ablate ...

They identify three distinct signalling pathways responsible for this effect, involving direct action on smooth muscle cells, as well as indirect modulation via interneurons or astrocytes. This work ...

They, in turn, link up with the wrong cells and block correct connections, escalating damage. “One neuron dies, and the other ...

CM cells synapse with all motoneuron pools except those innervating the external ocular ... 34 This impairment may be related to dysfunctions of the neocortical mirror neuron system and other cortical ...

Neural stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells present in the adult central nervous system that can self-renew, and give rise to new neurons and supporting cells called glial cells.

Strapped with an extra APP, people with Down’s syndrome are all but destined to develop Alzheimer’s dementia if they live ...
