New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

The researchers have published the data as a resource for the field to use for understanding a wide range of other brain disorders. “Our study paints one of the most detailed pictures of ... into just ...

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 ...

activating previously dormant neuron-making instructions. The genetic code is like an instruction manual. Every cell has the same manual, but cells only use certain parts, allowing them to become ...

Here, we review the latest developments in the fields of genetics, sample preparation, imaging, and image analysis that could be combined to afford whole-brain ... contains a cell-type-specific ...

In addition, the percentages of neuronal and astroglial cells were calculated considering MAP2 and GFAP stain-positive areas. Lastly, the assessment of neuron cytoskeleton orientation on aligned ...

While CRF_ID performs very well with whole-brain image datasets and has a great potential for generalization, multi-cell imaging poses challenges that require the algorithm to consider additional ...

MRI-images were ... of that neuron was considered to be significantly modulated for that event of interest. In case of the stimulus event, if more than half of the windows were significantly different ...

Neurons in the brains of mice tell them to stop eating when they’ve had enough food – and since people probably have the same ...
