Wolff, M., Vogel, W. & Safronov, B. V. Uneven distribution of K + channels in soma, axon and dendrites of rat spinal neurones: functional role of the soma in generation of action potentials.

Each neuron had the following compartments outlined: soma, dendrite (15 μm away from the soma, 15 μm in length, three to four dendrites analyzed per neuron), and AIS (defined as described by Evans et ...

Scientists have long known that the brain's visual system isn't fully hardwired from the start—it becomes refined by what ...

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

Overexpression of an activity-dependent protein, CPG15, in Xenopus tectal cells promotes growth of tectal dendrites and retinal axons, and may coordinate their development.

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

In this work, stabilization of an axonal growth in a neuron associated with the dynamics of tubulin concentration is proposed by designing a boundary control. The dynamics are given by a parabolic ...

Dendrites carry signals between synapses and the soma and play a central role in neural computation. Although they contain many nonlinear ion channels, their signal-transfer properties are linear ...

Unipolar neurons: These neurons have a single long axon that is responsible for sending electrical signals. The axon in unipolar neurons is myelinated, which allows for rapid signal transmission.
