The transient Na + channel is the basic current that underlies the generation and propagation of the action potential in virtually all axons ... in both the soma and dendrites, and do not burst.

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 ...

Neurons rely on axons and dendrites for communication; axons send messages out, while dendrites receive those incoming, some with the help of cilia extending from their tips. Cilia detect odors ...

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 parallel, we asked if non-linear summation could also be detected in these cell types by concurrent measurement of dendritic calcium-dependent fluorescence transients. In order to characterize ...

S2 to: “Among possible sources of variability for voltage supralinearity, we did not observe a significant monotonic dependence on the average amplitude of individual uEPSPs, distance from the ...

Uncharted territory Neurons rely on axons and dendrites for communication; axons send messages out, while dendrites receive those incoming, some with the help of cilia extending from their tips. Cilia ...

Further, we analyzed the expression of CAP2 in in vitro neuronal cultures and found that it is expressed in soma, dendrites, pre and post synaptic terminals. Absence of Cap2 has an impact of neuronal ...
