This discovery provides a unique example of sexual dimorphism in the structure of a single neuron, which is linked to behavioral differences. 'Male' vs. 'female' brains.

Furthermore, dendritic structure can affect how a neuron responds to somatic current injection 8,98,99,100,101. Dendritic channels are recruited more heavily by excitatory synaptic input than ...

Now, researchers at UC San Francisco have found a new type of neuron that guides its formation. The discovery, described in the May 23, 2024, issue of Cell, could one day lead to new therapies for ...

'New' ALS gene destabilizes neuron's structure and chokes off its nucleus. ScienceDaily. Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2023 / 08 / 230816160003.htm.

Chronic exposure to cocaine reduces the expression of a protein known to regulate brain plasticity, according to new, in vivo research on the molecular basis of cocaine addiction. That reduction ...

A study has described how a gene mutation linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) disrupts the stability of neurons and “chokes off” their nuclei, impairing their function, and suggests that an ...

A research team has found the three-dimensional structure of synaptic adhesion molecules, which orchestrate synaptogenesis. The research findings also propose the mechanism of synapses in its ...
