At that time, the anatomists interested in brain organization were still discussing ... and the 'protoplasmic processes' (the dendrites), a discovery that led many scientists to speculate on ...

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

The brain is one of the most fascinating organs. Its development during embryogenesis is a complex process, which is only partially understood. My lab studies how neuronal circuits form during ...

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

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Neurons in the Brain as an Example This is all rather abstract ... and functionally distinct and independent parts: its dendrites, the initial segment, the axon, and synaptic arborizations ...
