Splashes of fuchsia, streaks of crimson and a smattering of taupe. When these dazzling displays of color—each hue denoting a different neuron—first appeared in the neuroscientific community in ...

The scientists compared connections between color-transmitting nerve cells in the retinas of humans with those in two monkeys, the Old World macaque and the New World common marmoset.

Researchers from the University of California, San Diego have found that alpha4-beta1 integrin (VLA-4) on tumor and injured blood vessels promotes homing of bone marrow progenitor cells to VLA-4 ...

Colored plates appeared in reprinted versions distributed by Golgi and in the German translation of his paper. Golgi indicated three layers in his drawing. The superficial layer (A) is composed of ...

Eyeless Larvae 'See' With Full Body Nerve Cells Fruit fly larvae like burrowing in the dark, but they have a problem: They don't have eyes. Now scientists in California have shown that the larvae ...

LIFE IN 3-D Colored filters let a praying mantis watch a 3-D video of a moving disk while researchers studied the nerve cells that contribute to the insect’s depth perception.. Newcastle Univ., UK ...

To better understand how the brain works, neuroscientists plunge fine-tipped electrodes inside nerve cells to measure the electrical signals they transmit. Oftentimes, researchers use glass ...

It helps us see in color better, Ribak and his colleagues reported at a meeting of the American Physical Society. Another type of cell also lines that neuron-filled layer of the retina.

One Small Step For Neurons, One Giant Leap For Nerve Cell Repair Date: October 9, 2009 Source: McGill University Summary: The repair of damaged nerve cells is a major problem in medicine today.

Tiny robots can operate as nerve cell connectors, bridging gaps between two distinct groups of cells. These microscopic patches may lead to more sophisticated ways to grow networks of nerve cells ...
