Researchers have uncovered the mechanical properties of the nanoscale "thorns" that develop inside lithium-ion batteries, ...
Beta and gamma inhibitory rhythms are preferentially tuned to govern synaptic integration in layer 5 pyramidal neurons by ...
Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...
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 ...
When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that ...
A new study finds that retaining memories is maintained by the quality — not quantity — of dendritic spines, which are part of brain neurons. Experts used to think that memory loss was due to loss in ...
What makes the human brain so unique? A clue might come from a recent study that reports the discovery of new brain cells: ...
A typical neuron is composed of three main structures: the cell body, axon, and dendrites. The cell body is where most of the cellular organelles are located, including the nucleus, which contains the ...
