When a neuron receives a stimulus ... to understand how they interact in real-time and to identify their distinct functions in living animals. Now, new advancements in the development of ...

The ultimate effect of a signal from one neuron on the next neuron depends on the function of the synapse, which is based on the type of neurotransmitter released. Excitatory synapses send signals ...

Neuroscience examines the structure and function of the human brain and nervous system. Neuroscientists use cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition ...

Each neuron can have hundreds of branches that ... but also how the neurons function to turn each other on and off." "Using ...

As in larger brains, mouse visual cortex neurons with the same function cluster in columns. For over 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same ...

Activating a protein called potassium channel Kv2.1 may help improve motor function in SMA, making it a potential SMA ...

A new study in Brain Medicine explores how maternal immune activation (MIA) affects hippocampal neuron function in newborn ...

Previously, “both physicists and neuroscientists have largely dismissed the relevance of standard quantum mechanics to neuronal processes, as quantum effects are thought to disappear at the large ...

Stylized axon arbor of a neuron. Yellow circle: root vertex at the axon initial segment; red circles: bifurcation vertices; black circles: terminal vertices at the axon's synaptic terminals.

Study shows maternal immune activation alters hippocampal neuron excitability in newborn rats, with implications for autism, schizophrenia, and depression.
