Instead of relying on a single neuron, the brain uses the pattern of activity across many neurons to encode information to ...

Researchers have now shown that, despite individual differences in neuron activity, a shared underlying structure guides the ...

Scientists divide thousands of different neurons into groups based on function and shape. Let's discuss neuron anatomy and how it varies.

video: This live footage of transparent C. elegans embryos shows how a developing sensory neuron gets its shape. After the neuron drops anchor at the tip of the worm’s nose, the cell body crawls ...

Neuroscientists used a new, gene-based classification of mouse brain cell types and additional information about neuron shape to uncover two new types of neurons involved in movement. (Credit ...

Every neuron type is searchable and cross-referenced in a spatially accurate digital framework. This architecture allows researchers to test how visual features like motion, shape, or brightness ...

Scientists Show How A Neuron Gets Its Shape Date: April 13, 2009 Source: Rockefeller University Summary: For the brain to work, neurons have to be connected in the right places.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Ask a simple question, get a simple answer: When Abraham Lincoln was asked how long a man’s legs should be, he absurdly replied, “Long enough to reach the ground.” Now, by ...
