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!
In this model, the neurons in both organoids develop and grow long-ranging processes (axons) that extend to the opposite ...
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.] ...
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 ...
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 ...
New research uncovers how forever chemicals disrupt brain health, highlighting genetic impacts and raising concerns about ...
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 ...
They compared images from 142 children with an autism diagnosis to those of 8971 controls, in order to study neuron architecture in living children. The researchers found that certain regions of ...
