Laurent Descarries, well known for his research on the brain’s axon terminals, has passed away at the age of 73. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, personal ...
After axons have reached their target field, short-range interactions between axons and target cells are required for specific synapse formation. This process involves structural modifications in both ...
Axonal conduction velocity, which ensures efficient function of the brain network, is related to axon diameter. Noninvasive, in vivo axon diameter estimates can be made with diffusion magnetic ...
From insects to mammals, olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) expressing a common olfactory receptor target their axons to specific glomeruli with high precision. Here we show in Drosophila that the POU ...
Thought LeaderDr. Federico Dajas-BailadorHead of Axon Biology Lab University of Nottingham UK After a recent visit to ELRIGs Drug Discovery 2023, News-Medical sits down with Dr. Federico ...
In a provocative new study, scientists challenge a fundamental tenet in neuroscience about the shape of axons -- the long, thin filaments radiating from nerve cells that transmit electrical signals ...
You probably think of your nervous system as a kind of computer network, or some kind of electrical system that passes nerve impulses around. But in reality, the miraculous journey of a signal ...
