Each combines several elements of the basic neuron shape. In terms of function, scientists classify neurons into three broad types: sensory, motor, and interneurons. Sensory neurons are triggered ...

Motor neuron diseases (MNDs) are a cluster of progressive neurological disorders that lead to difficulty performing basic functions such as walking, speaking, swallowing and breathing, according ...

The reality is that we cannot have a simple neuron taxonomy like we do ... perhaps the best way forward is to stick with good old structure-function criteria, and now begin to concentrate on ...

This new method offers a more complete understanding of how neurons function, revealing that these ... through electrical signals. When a neuron receives a stimulus, changes in membrane voltage ...

A great deal is now known about how the small circuits that generate rhythmic behaviour in invertebrates are organized and about how they function 42,43. This is because it is relatively easy to ...

And the critical genes that get switched on in order to shape each type of cell’s form and function are different too ... was all it took to direct his chimeric MyoD to NeuroD2’s neuron-specific genes ...

The results provide mechanistic insight into the biology of barrier function and glia-neuron interactions. New functions for blood-brain barrier in neuron function and damage: Research ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron. With a signal ...
