Stressed brain cells can survive longer by slowing sugar use, revealing a short-term protective response that later turns ...

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

An axon is the part of a neuron that sends a signal to other cells. Axons extend from the cell body to contact other cells, generally forming synapses between the two cells. These axons can be very ...

Neurons are specialized cells of the nervous system that communicate using electrical signals, which propagate down long, wire-like projections called axons. The conduction of these signals requires ...

In a study, scientists challenge a fundamental tenet in neuroscience about the shape of axons -- the long, thin filaments radiating from nerve cells that transmit electrical signals from cell to cell ...

Researchers developed tiny wearable devices for cells that can snugly enfold neurons and neuronal processes without damaging the cell. These thin-film wearables, made from a soft polymer, could enable ...

A study by University of Manchester scientists using fruit flies as model has identified a mechanism which can explain ...
