A team of researchers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) developed a computational method that improves the tracking of neurogenesis as neurons ...

It has also been reported in parvalbumin-positive hippocampal basket cells, in dendrites innervated by feedback excitatory synapses. Whether other interneurons, which support feed-forward or feedback ...

Glia (light green) respond to the loss of dendrite cilia (dark pink ... these crucial supporting players detect and respond to neuron damage. Published in Nature Communications, the study ...

Pain is an example of an important sensory neuron. When you feel pain from a hot pan or a sharp pin, you are sending sensory information via sensory neurons up to the brain. The flow of electrical ...

Mark Dell'Acqua, professor of pharmacology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and senior author of the study The nucleus where the genes that modify neuron function are ...

These distinct localization patterns and morphological effects during neuron development suggest that these catenins have both shared and distinct roles in the context of dendrite morphogenesis.

To identify potential mediators of neuron-substrate interactions important for dendrite morphogenesis, we undertook an expression pattern-based screen in Drosophila larvae, which revealed many ...

Every neuron was first imaged, followed by capture of the soma, followed by collection of all accessible dendrites (Figure 1—figure supplement 1C). Neurites of smaller diameters were avoided since ...

Its size can range from 4 to over 100 micrometers. Dendrites protrude from the soma and act as the inputs of the neuron. A typical neuron will have thousands of dendrites, with each connecting to ...
