Forget the traditional tubular shape—researchers are investigating a pearl-on-a-string formation for axons, unlocking new ...

The axon initial segment (AIS) is where nerve signals begin, and its adaptability is key to brain function. Scientists have found that the AIS changes in response to activity levels, helping neurons ...

Donations continued to pour in for Mayor Lisa Borowsky and the group supporting two measures well after their Nov. 5 election victories, campaign financing forms filed two weeks ago show. The Vote Yes ...

Drugs targeting amyloid plaques have failed to show efficacy in clinical trials. A new approach is needed to tackle AD ...

The Hodgkin-Huxley (H-H) theory of the action potential, formulated 50 years ago, remains one of the great success stories in biology, and ranks among the most significant conceptual breakthroughs ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...

Even so, Smith made it clear last week that he is unhappy – to put it mildly – with a potential ... Graham voted against Axon. As chairman of the TAAAZE political action committee, Littlefield ...

Neurons rely on axons and dendrites for communication ... and then tracked glia in-action using fluorescence microscopy. Then, to figure out how glia respond to normal and cilia-stunted nematodes ...
