Exercise promotes neuron growth via biochemical and physical effects, aiding nerve healing and neurodegenerative disease ...
This is a microscope image of a neuron growing through a microtube. The tube is soft and flexible, wrapping around the axon and providing a cozy, 3-D scaffold. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!
Sphere of Influence. In iAssembloids, microglia (red) form projections (white arrows), while astrocytes (green) assume star shapes typically found in the brain. [Courtesy of Kampmann et al., 2025.] ...
In this model, the neurons in both organoids develop and grow long-ranging processes (axons) that extend to the opposite ...
This finding aligns with previous observations that neuronal excitation stimulates glioma growth and that neuron–glioma communication involves glutamate. Subsets of the far-reaching glioma ...
New research uncovers how forever chemicals disrupt brain health, highlighting genetic impacts and raising concerns about ...
Each neuron receives signals from both excitatory ... Over time, these connections can grow stronger or weaker depending on the neurons’ patterns of activation. Changes in structure and function ...
If we make the conservative guess that each neuron has 1,000 synapses, that would put the total synaptic connections in your cortex at 30 trillion — a number so large that it is literally beyond ...
When a neuron receives a stimulus, changes in membrane voltage (the electrical charge across the neuron cell membrane) trigger the neuron to activate, causing rapid changes in membrane voltage to ...
