Pyramidal neurons have basal and apical dendrites, including an apical tuft. This preserved core structure suggests that they have conserved core functions, whereas structural variation in other areas ...

Investigators at Cedars-Sinai have created computer-generated models to bridge the gap between "test tube" data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain. Their study, ...

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. The research, ...

New study conducted by University of Leicester researchers helps decipher the mosaic of the brain. The discovery sheds new light on how neurodegenerative diseases might occur. Nitric oxide is a ...

Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send ...
