Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production ...

The functioning of neurons, cells that transmit information in the nervous system, heavily relies on the production of ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...

Axons are the brain’s information highways, transporting cellular cargo, chemical signals, and electrical impulses to other cells. These “roads” are typically depicted as smooth and cylindrical, with ...

Axons surrounding amyloid plaques swell, but what goes wrong inside, and with what consequences, remains murky. Using high-resolution imaging techniques, scientists led by Jaime Grutzendler at Yale ...

Much like tree branches, hundreds of axons extend from neurons during development. These axons serve as information highways that enable neurons to communicate with different cells across the body.

Nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord are wrapped in an insulating sheath known as myelin. For a long time, this barrier, which is essentially the brain's white matter, was believed to serve the ...
