For decades, scientists have focused on amyloid plaques—abnormal clumps of misfolded proteins that accumulate between neurons ...
Following neuron migration, neurons send out an axon and are ultimately able to create the rudimentary networks necessary to facilitate information processing and behavioral patterns. The pathway ...
These molecules activated the mTOR pathway, a critical regulator of cellular growth and maintenance. While this discovery ...
In the EphB/ephrin-B mutant animal, this cell-axon repulsive signal is lost, and instead most of these axons do not successfully project to the binocular pathway (lower image; the branch on the ...
