Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers from the ...

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

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 ...

Uncovering these rules will be an important step towards a 'functional proteomics' of nerve cells, which will be essential in defining neuronal phenotypes. The properties of the dendritic tree ...

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 ...

Scientists have uncovered a crucial pathway that links brain cell activity to the activation of genes responsible for ...

Methods for studying pyramidal-cell firing in vivo The distinct morphologies of basal and apical dendrites suggest that inputs to these domains might be integrated differently. Furthermore ...

Two research groups in Asia have identified an enzyme that governs whether a neural projection becomes an axon or a dendrite and several of its upstream ... were reported in the January 14 issue of ...
