Nerve cells take in information through the body ... Neurons receive signals in a short antennae-like part called the dendrite, and send signals to other neurons with a long cable-like part ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their ...

A breakthrough study sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of genes essential for learning and memory.

"If IFNβ is absent, females display reduced nerve cell connections called dendrites in the cerebral cortex, while males show ...

According to this law, the receptive compartments of the neuron (its dendrites and cell bodies) conduct nerve signals towards the transmitting compartment, the axon. However, Ramón y Cajal did ...
