4 Action potentials Typically, neurons share information by producing electrical events called action potentials, also known as nerve impulses, which involve rapid changes in voltage across their ...

The model calculations in the present study show that proteins are therefore preferably synthesized in the branched, tapering ...

nerve cells established anastomoses with each other through a network formed by the minute branching of their dendrites. According to this concept, the network or reticulum was an essential ...

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 ...

Nerve cells (neurons) are among the most complex cell types in our body. They achieve this complexity during development by extending ramified branches called dendrites and axons and establishing ...

If you've ever noticed how memories from the same day seem connected while events from weeks apart feel separate, a new study ...
