Here are five brain facts that are now brain fiction.

At the start of synaptogenesis, the dLGN neuropil at the boundary between the mistargeted and normally targeted RGC axons would be composed of TC dendrites whose RGC inputs are systematically less ...

Central to this activity are synapses, the junctions where branches of neurons connect, similar to electrical wires. Here, an axon from one neuron links to a dendrite of another. At these synapses ...

In neurons, various activities occur within distinct subcellular compartments, such as axons, dendrites ... reach and wrap ...

Three key points should be emphasised: Seizures emerge rapidly from normal brain states and usually self-terminate; the time scale of onset and offset of a seizure is orders of magnitude faster than ...

This enables them to gently, but snugly, wrap around highly curved axons and dendrites. “It is possible to very finely control the diameter ... “This work is an exciting step toward new symbiotic ...

At the synapse, a chemical substance is produced at the end of the axon of one nerve cell that reaches the other nerve cell through the dendrite. Thus, information is transmitted from one nerve ...

At Butler Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island, Dr. Linda Carpenter, M.D., talks about the successful completion of clinical ...

The three best examples of ion channel/receptor clustering in the nervous system are found at the synapse, the node of Ranvier, and the axon initial segment (AIS). In the case of the synapse, the ...
