Damages to the central nervous system (CNS), for example in the case of spinal cord injury, can result in permanent loss of sensory and motor function. It is because the severed axons are unable to ...

Explore new insights into neurodegenerative therapies as researchers observe learning mechanisms in the living brain.

Axons surrounding amyloid plaques swell, but what goes wrong inside, and with what consequences, remains murky. Using high-resolution imaging techniques, scientists led by Jaime Grutzendler at Yale ...

Axons are the brain’s information highways, transporting cellular cargo, chemical signals, and electrical impulses to other cells. These “roads” are typically depicted as smooth and cylindrical, with ...

Much like tree branches, hundreds of axons extend from neurons during development. These axons serve as information highways that enable neurons to communicate with different cells across the body.

A team of scientists at Harvard Medical School (HMS) has identified a new mechanism of dopamine release in the brain in a study conducted in mice that was published in the journal Science (“An action ...

The ultrathin tendrils that zip messages around the nervous system are often drawn as smooth lines. But a new study adds some flourishes to that classical picture. Like a garland of cranberries hung ...
