1 Neurons are composed of a cell body containing the nucleus, dendrites that receive chemical, electrical, or other signals via receptors or through gap junctions (direct connections between two ...

To travel from the axon of one neuron to the dendrite of another neuron, a signal must cross the gap between neurons (the synapse), where it is translated from an electrical signal to a chemical ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the ...

Neurons rely on axons and dendrites for communication; axons send messages out, while dendrites receive those incoming, some with the help of cilia extending from their tips. Cilia detect odors ...

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

it's very difficult and time-consuming to distinguish neurons with their axons and dendrites—the extensions that send and receive information from other neurons—from each other," explains ...

Researchers at FORTH have developed a new type of artificial neural network (ANN) that incorporates features of biological ...

but possibly attractant for some neurons, also a nerve growth factor Secreted and cell surface molecules Multimeric receptor complexes on axons or dendrites and can regulate gene expression ...

The nervous system is the body’s direct communication system. It’s made up of the body’s many nerve cells. These cells work together in a network that sends and receives signals from one ...
