Each nerve cell, or neuron, has three parts ... across a tiny space called a synapse, between the axons and dendrites of nearby neurons. Healing the human neurological system after injury ...

Our research investigates how these liquid-like properties contribute to the main function of the neuron in synaptic ...

Synaptic plasticity is the biological process by which specific patterns of synaptic activity result in changes in synaptic strength and is thought to contribute to learning and memory. Both pre ...

Together, these observations unveiled crucial distinctions in the polarity and the spatiotemporal patterns of extracellular potentials associated with synchronous inputs impinging on active dendrites ...

Axon pruning is a unique process neurons utilize to selectively degenerate axon branches while keeping the neuronal cell body intact. The mechanisms of axon pruning have much in common with those of ...

The function of the neuronal synapse depends on the dynamics and interactions of individual molecules at the nanoscale. With the development of single-molecule super-resolution microscopy over the ...
