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 ...

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

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, ...

The axon caliber (diameter ... In some circumstances, however, remyelination fails, leaving axons and even the entire neuron vulnerable to degeneration. Thus, patients with demyelinating diseases ...

A neuron-specific splice variant of agrin is released ... to rule out indirect effects via quantitative changes in axon or dendrite outgrowth, this blocking experiment strongly suggests that ...
