revealed ectopic synaptic contacts between dendrites of surviving rod bipolar cells and cone terminals. Figure 4: Two types of contact made by the ectopic cone–rod bipolar cell synapses.

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 ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers found that the neuronal energy conservation program determines the location and ...

The model calculations in the present study show that proteins are therefore preferably synthesized in the branched, tapering ...
