Treating the neurons and me — my mental states — in a synergistic way proved to speed up and enhance healing. It does for ...

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 ...

According to this law, the receptive compartments of the neuron (its dendrites and cell bodies) conduct nerve signals towards the transmitting compartment, the axon. However, Ramón y Cajal did ...

Here, an axon from one neuron links to a dendrite of another. At these synapses, neurotransmitters carry signals across the ...

Neurotransmitters are tiny chemical messengers that carry, boost, and balance signals between neurons (aka nerve cells) and target cells throughout the body. These target cells may be in glands, ...

Following demyelination, a demyelinated axon has two possible fates ... leaving the axons and even the entire neuron vulnerable to degeneration.
