Neurons aren’t just brain cells—they’re intricate biological machines that transmit, process, and adapt to information using both electrical and chemical signals. Supported by glial cells, they form ...

Neurons form intricate shapes and networks, which may display sexual differences. Pinpointing these changes at the single-cell level, however, is challenging. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the PVD neuron ...

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order processing. A foundational understanding of neuroanatomy and physiology is ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

Scripps Research scientists discovered that memory formation relies on complex neuron structures called multi-synaptic boutons, not more synapses, challenging old theories and offering new hope for ...

This study establishes a two distinct feature-encoding visual projection neurons in Drosophila as a model for the development of synaptic specificity. The comprehensive description of connectivity ...

Summary: Researchers have uncovered a significant mechanism in the process of dendritic refinement within neurons during early postnatal brain development. The study, focusing on the Golgi apparatus ...

Katie Thompson-Peer of UC Irvine Assistant professor Katie Thompson-Peer of the Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, UC Irvine, will speak on "Cellular Mechanisms of Dendrite Regeneration ...
