Microtubules and Filaments
In many types of cells, networks of actin filaments are found beneath the cell cortex, which is the meshwork of membrane-associated proteins that supports and strengthens the plasma membrane.

Neurons gather together for vision
The neurons responsible for this process can each perform different tasks: for example, some mainly process motion, others lines or colors. In the 1960s, David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel famously ...
