A scientific investigation led by researchers at HKUST has uncovered promising new avenues for treating central nervous ...

This important study leverages the power of Drosophila genetics and sparsely-labeled neurons to propose a new model for neuronal injury signaling. The authors present convincing evidence to support ...

and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord. The PNS consists mainly of nerves, which are enclosed bundles of the long fibers or axons, that connect the CNS ...

They have some features in common: A long fibre (axon) which is insulated by a ... as electrical impulses to co-ordinators such as the central nervous system or CNS. The CNS is the brain and ...

A long fibre (axon) which is insulated by a fatty (myelin ... These move towards the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is the brain and spinal cord. It coordinates the responses.

Dr. Rasband's team is discovering the functional organization of axons in health as well as disease or injury. The generation, propagation, and modulation of electrical signals in the nervous system ...

This pathway depends on the crossing of neurons from one side of the central nervous system (CNS ... The cause is that axons extending from neurons in the motor cortex of one hemisphere of ...

It is also important to be able to visualize the effect of gene silencing on axonal guidance in whole-mount preparations, as this allows a broader view of the peripheral nervous system 'from macro ...

The ultrathin tendrils that zip messages around the nervous system are often drawn as smooth ... nerve fibers called axons may actually be a series of bumps, researchers suggest December 2 in ...

But neurons are not alone in the brain or elsewhere in the nervous system: Brain cells called glia play various supporting roles to keep the system running smoothly. Between the axon of a ...

spearheaded by a research team of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), sheds light on new ...
