Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the ...

Dendrites protrude from the soma and act as the inputs of the neuron. A typical neuron will have thousands of dendrites, with each connecting to an axon of another neuron. The connection is called ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

in axon and dendrite targeting in the olfactory system. The researchers made use of a common model of sensory development — the Drosophila melanogaster olfactory system — together with some ...
