The labeled, three-dimensional map includes around 100,000 cell annotations, almost 140,000 neurons, and more than 50 million synapses — all of which they started in 2019. The flagship paper's ...

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 ...

They are the most common neuron found in mammalian bodies. Neuron Function Synapses Neural synapses are junctions between neurons that permit neural communication. Synapses come in two different forms ...

2). However, agrin itself is not necessary for the formation of neuron–neuron synapses. This has led to an intensive search for trans-neuronal inducers. Among the candidates are cadherins ...

Because of dendritic filtering, distant synapses should have less efficacy than proximal ones. To investigate this, we characterized the amplitude and kinetics of excitatory synaptic input across ...
