A typical neuron will have thousands of dendrites, with each connecting to an axon of another neuron. The connection is called a synapse but is not a physical one. There is a gap between the ends ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving ... on the neurons’ patterns of activation. Changes in structure and function take place at the level of the synapses ...

The axons of a neuron – the arm-like structures that stretch out and exchange signals with other brain cells like wires – are often depicted as sausage-like cylindrical tubes, but new imaging ...

This allowed them to pick apart how olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) axons from the antennae and from the maxillary palps that express the same olfactory receptors converge in a single distinct ...

Furthermore, experiments with the mathematical model and mouse brain samples showed that increasing the concentration of sugars in the solution around the axon or decreasing tension in the axonal ...
