A single Purkinje neuron was filled with ANNINE dye through a pipette at the cell body (top). A typical neuron has a cell body with many tree-shaped processes called dendrites, and a long cable-like ...

New method marks proteins and reveals the receptors in which neurons are dressed. Where in a nerve cell is a certain receptor protein located? Without an answer to this question, it is difficult to ...

New study combines a novel approach using patterned optogenetics with electrophysiology, circuit mapping, and computational ...

If you have upper motor neuron lesions, you have damage to certain nerve cells that help you move. Medicines and therapy can help control symptoms like muscle spasms and help you walk and talk more ...

The hypothesis that glial cells synthesize proteins which are transferred to adjacent neurons was evaluated in the giant fiber of the squid (Loligo pealei). When giant fibers are separated from their ...
