A research team led by Prof. Wan Yinhua from the Institute of Process Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has ...

New research shows that low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can restore key synaptic structures in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.

A team of researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi has uncovered a key mechanism that helps shape how our brains are wired, and what can ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition that affects a significant proportion of older people ...

The potential recorded by a set of electrodes as an action potential traverses a small axonal segment is proportional to the transmembrane potential produced during stimulation of that axon segment by ...

In a report released yesterday, Andrew Sherman from TD Cowen maintained a Buy rating on Axon Enterprise (AXON – Research Report), with a price target of $700.00. Andrew Sherman has given his Buy ...

The speed of the action potential isn’t constant, they assert, but modulated by changes in the size of the nano-pearls, which in turn are caused by mechanical changes in the axon’s membrane and ...

Furthermore, neuronal activity modulates plasma membrane cholesterol concentration, leading to changes in axon nanopearls and causing slowing of action potential conduction velocity. These data reveal ...

Myelin is the fatty membranes of cells called Oligodendroglia (in the CNS) and Schwann Cells (in the PNS) that wraps around the axon and acts as an insulator, preventing the dissipation of the ...
