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 ...

Now, scientists have discovered a new mechanism by which these crucial supporting players detect and respond to neuron damage ... that extend out of nematode dendrites, so that the glial cells ...

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 ...
