Sensory experience affects the structure of these tree-like neurites, which, it is assumed, modifies neuronal function, yet the evidence is scarce, and the mechanisms are unknown. To study whether ...

“The dendrites are central to understanding the brain because they are at the core of what determines the computational power ...

Gray matter is made up of neuron cell bodies and dendrites and is responsible for processing and interpreting information, ...

Cambridge researchers found that sex differences in brain structure exist from birth, with males having more white matter and ...

Scientists mapped how aging alters gene expression across brain cell types in mice, revealing immune activation, neuronal ...

Sex differences in brain structure are present from birth, research from the Autism Research Centre at the University of ...

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 ...
