Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

Scientists suggest quantum entanglement in myelin sheaths generates consciousness, offering a groundbreaking new perspective ...

Highlights: * Messenger RNA methylation controls protein production essential for neuron development * Adenomatous Polyposis Coli protein helps build internal neuron //structures * Genetic ...

“A neuron’s axon is less than two microns wide, so if you want to measure the optical properties, you need to use nanophotonic techniques,” says Postigo.

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...

While a neuron consists of a cell nucleus, synaptic vesicles, dendrite, axon, and myelin sheath in some situations, the business model consists of activities, value, and financial aspects including ...

The damage increases the transport of molecules along both axons, boosting the repair of the whole neuron. This suggests that microtubules, the internal highways for transporting materials through ...
