It seems likely that multiple signaling pathways, some involving kinases, function cooperatively to define precise sites of synapse formation between axons and dendrites, and to determine ...

The lone axon of each pyramidal neuron typically ... the logarithmic colour scale), but the local amplitude for synapses on smaller dendrites is considerably larger. Proximal basal, apical oblique ...

Multipolar neurons have a single axon and multiple dendrites. They are the most common neuron found in mammalian bodies. Neuron Function Synapses Neural synapses are junctions between neurons that ...

Neurons vary in their abilities to penetrate these barriers. The researchers assigned probabilities predicting whether axons and dendrites would form synapses when they met and, using their model, ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

Each dendrite on a neuron is covered with tiny bulbous appendages, called dendritic spines, and at the end of each dendritic ...

A long fibre (axon) which is insulated by a fatty (myelin) sheath. They are long so they can carry messages up and down the body. Tiny branches (dendrons) which branch further as dendrites at each ...
