The shape of dendrites and axons, their distribution within the neuropil, and patterns of their long-range projections can reveal fundamental principles of nervous system organization and function. In ...

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a crucial part of the mammalian brain, known to be involved in decision-making, planning, complex social behavior and integrating the activity of other brain regions.

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

Glia assess axon structure to modulate myelination and axon repair. Whether glia similarly detect dendrites and their substructures is not well understood. Here we show that glia monitor the integrity ...

NeuroOmics technology lets researchers label and capture cell-surface proteins in intact, live tissue—opening opportunities to understand complex cellular interactions and future drug targets.

Neurons, the core units of the nervous system, facilitate communication by transmitting information through their specialized structures. Beginning with dendrites and ending with terminal buttons, ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...
