Learn how dendrites help the brain link memories that happen close together in time, according to new research from Ohio ...

In reality, actual brain tissue looks pretty much nothing ... like a repeating ladder all along the length of dendrites – the tree-branch-like extensions that project out from nerve cells.

A new study shows that our brains physically link memories formed close together in time through changes in the dendrites of neurons, rather than in the cell bodies.

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 ...

The devices could help scientists probe subcellular regions of the brain and possibly treat disease ... such as axons and dendrites, without damaging them. They could be used to measure or ...
