This is the most common form of neuron in the central nervous system. Unipolar neurons. Usually only found in invertebrate species, these neurons have a single axon.

Each bend and bump on every neuron had to be recorded by someone clicking a mouse. The software then draws maps of each neuron and its connections, making that part of the task much easier, Emmons ...

TThe fundamental unit of the nervous system is the neuron. Individual neurons are connected by synapses to form circuits. Evolution has driven the formation of ever more elaborate circuits to ...

In a study published in Cell on April 7, a research team led by Prof. LI Hanjie from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed the presence ...

Human Anatomy - Nervous System Click on the labels below to find out more about your nervous system and senses. Your spinal cord can be divided into four sections shown in green, blue, pink and ...

Your nervous system is your body’s main communication network. Together with your endocrine system, it controls and maintains your body’s various functions. Additionally, it helps you to ...

Scientists have created the most complete network ever of a central nervous system, a team of neurobiologists reported in the journal Nature.The researchers traced every neuron in small worms to ...

The goal was to create a wiring diagram—a map of all 302 neurons in the C. elegans nervous system as well as all the 7,000 connections, or synapses, between those neurons.

They then send signals along a sensory neuron to your spinal cord, where the signals are passed on to a motor neuron. As a result, one of your muscles or glands is stimulated. Knee-jerk reflex ...

“Our work unveils the ontogeny, evolution, and neuron size regulatory functions of PNS microglia,” said Dr. WU Zhisheng, first author of the study. Reference: Wu Z, Wang Y, Chen W wei, et al.
