By comparing macaque and mouse PFC single-neuron projectomes, they revealed highly refined axon targeting and arborization in primates.

The results of a new study show that suppressing KCTD20, which responds to the neurotransmitter glutamate, activates a mechanism for expelling tau proteins.

Background: Voltage-gated sodium channels are protein complexes composed of 2 subunits, namely, pore-forming a-and regulatory β-subunits. A β-subunit consists of 5 proteins encoded by 4 genes (i.e., ...

What are neurotransmitters? What do they do, where are they located, and is there more than just one type? Read on to find out!

These genes, it turned out, were enriched in pathways that are important for neuron axon growth, the researchers discovered. The keys to sensation, sensory neurons receive and transmit information ...

These steps repeat along the length of the axon until the signal reaches the end of axon, called the axon terminal. At the axon terminal, neurotransmitters stored within the axon terminal are released ...

News-Medical sits down with Dr. Federico Dajas-Bailador, a leading expert in axon biology and drug discovery.

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center developmental biologist Dr. Cecilia Moens received a prestigious Javits Award from the National Institute for Neurological Diseases and Stroke. The seven-year award will ...

Our understanding of the cell behaviours and cytoskeletal requirements of axon formation is largely derived from in vitro models but how these relate to axon formation in vivo is not clear. In vitro, ...
