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, ...

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

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 ...

Spiny protrusions along the dendrites form the synapses that connect pyramidal neurons to other cells. Yaeger's experiments ...

Synapses are subcellular microcompartments ... Do topologically organized chemical gradients exist inside dendrites, and do they play a significant role in modulating synaptic information processing?

This study presents a valuable theoretical exploration on the electrophysiological mechanisms of ionic currents via gap junctions in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal-cell models, and their potential ...

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 ...

It has been observed that MCU is enriched in CA2 distal dendrites compared to proximal dendrites. It has also been shown that synapses onto CA2 distal dendrites readily express plasticity, whereas the ...
