Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

Neurons can also be categorized by their basic structure. Unipolar neurons have one nerve process that acts as both an axon and a dendrite whereas bipolar neurons have both a single axon and a single ...

2. Neurons are made of three parts Neurons receive signals in a short antennae-like part called the dendrite, and send signals to other neurons with a long cable-like part called the axon.

in axon and dendrite targeting in the olfactory system. The researchers made use of a common model of sensory development — the Drosophila melanogaster olfactory system — together with some ...

Pyramidal-neuron dendrites contain voltage-gated channels ... but these events do not always propagate to the soma and the axon. The coupling of dendritic spikes to axonal action-potential firing ...

I also got beautiful images that illustrated one receptor was found in the axons and the second one localized along the axon and in the dendrites, and they were so stunning that Neuron selected them ...

Here, an axon from one neuron links to a dendrite of another. At these synapses, neurotransmitters carry signals across the ...

Generally, the neuron is composed of two morphologically and biochemically distinct compartments, the axon and the dendrites. The proper polarization of membrane proteins is critical for neuronal ...

Specifically, we identify and study genes required for the correct navigation of neuronal processes (axons and dendrites), a process known as axon guidance. On the technical side, our lab uses a ...
