A neuron-specific splice variant of ... function cooperatively to define precise sites of synapse formation between axons and dendrites, and to determine heterogeneity in molecular composition ...

A typical neuron will have thousands of dendrites, with each connecting to an axon of another neuron. The connection is called a synapse but is not a physical one. There is a gap between the ends ...

Three new papers demonstrate a role for the axon guidance molecule semaphorin ... in the antennal lobe, where they synapse with projection neuron (PN) dendrites. These studies highlight the ...

Multipolar neurons have a single axon and multiple dendrites. They are the most common neuron found in mammalian bodies. Neuron Function Synapses Neural synapses are junctions between neurons that ...

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 ...

There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again. For example, noradrenaline.

Each dendrite on a neuron is covered with tiny bulbous appendages, called dendritic spines, and at the end of each dendritic spine is the synapse—a tiny space where the two cells meet ...

Now, scientists have discovered a new mechanism by which these crucial supporting players detect and respond to neuron damage ... Neurons rely on axons and dendrites for communication; axons ...

Neurons communicate via synapses—tiny, button-like protrusions that sprout from one neuron and connect it to the next ... In this case, the result is a messy constellation of the cells, their ...
