This study presents solid evidence for distinct neurotransmitter release modalities between two subclasses of dopaminergic neurons in the olfactory bulb, highlighting an important finding that ...

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 ...

Studies in the past decade have provided data on the presence and distribution of voltage-gated ion channels in the dendrites of many types of neuron, but general rules that can explain their ...

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 ...

My lab studies how neuronal circuits form during embryonic development. Specifically, we identify and study genes required for the correct navigation of neuronal processes (axons and dendrites), a ...

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.

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

“These findings challenge a century of understanding about axon structure,” Watanabe says. The implications are vast. Axons, as Watanabe explains, are the brain’s communication ...

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 ...
