A new Drosophila collection of Parkinsonism models reveals early synaptic cholinergic projection neuron dysfunction, linking synaptic failure to later dopaminergic decline, highlighting a role for ...

and the size of primary sensory neuron somas. Larger-bodied species with larger primary sensory neurons exhibited a higher abundance of microglia, while smaller animals tended to have fewer or none.

Furthermore, the researchers uncovered the ancient origin of PNS microglia and established a positive correlation between their abundance, species body size, and the size of primary sensory neuron ...

How do we feel wetness, slipperiness or elasticity? “Think about squeezing a balloon,” he said. “Presumably no one sensory neuron type is going to encode squeeziness.” His work has transformed our ...

Is neuron regeneration in the adult brain possible? It was long believed that the adult brain could not generate new neurons. However, it is now understood that niches in the brain contain ...

Across species, visual regions occupy a large portion of the brain and exhibit structured neuron organization ... supports sensory processing. A dataset capturing morphology, synaptic connectivity ...

The neuron firing patterns in areas on the brain surface that are associated with vision were optically recorded across a cubic millimeter -- about the size of a grain of sand. Within this ...

Royalty-free licenses let you pay once to use copyrighted images and video clips in personal and commercial projects on an ongoing basis without requiring additional payments each time you use that ...

Sitting in front of a computer all day isn’t exactly what the firmware between our ears was tuned to do. We’re supposed to be hunting and gathering, not hunting and pecking. So anything that ...
