or"axons"(the cablelike part of a nerve cell that transmits electrical signals) and 256 output lines, or"neurons."
The researchers found that the axons, the long branches the nerve cells send out to make connections,
"It's not surprising that the axons like to grow within the tubes, "Williams said.""These are exactly the types of spaces where they grow in vivo.
since they are directly in contact with the axon, we will be able to study signal conduction much better than conventional methods,
assistant professor of child psychiatry at Washington University School of medicine in St louis. White matter tracts in the brain are made of axons that connect brain regions to form networks.
That because the crucial point of contact between two types of cells the connection between axons
which support neurons is hidden essentially. yelin is made by a glial cell wrapping around an axon cell,
The glial cell wraps like a spiral around the axon, so every time you try to study the region of contact between the two cells,
and protect axons that can measure up to one meter in length, extending far away from the glial cell. his has profound implications for glial disease like Krabbe, Charcot-Marie Tooth, peripheral neuropathies or Multiple sclerosis,
As well as neurons and their signal-carrying projections-axons and dendrites-the'brain'also contains support and immune cells.
taken up by other neurons, transported up and down axons, and then released again.""Previous research has shown that tau tangles first appear in a structure located deep within the brain called the entorhinal cortex,
which axons-the fibers that carry signals from one neuron to another-can extend. The team found that applying this rare form of tau from the brains of the mouse model to neurons in the first chamber resulted in the protein's being taken up by those neurons and
within five days, being present at the ends of first-chamber-neuron axons and in neurons in the second chamber.
A few days later, tau was detected at the end of axons extending from the second to the third chamber,
#Where Glia Meets Axon: New Technique to Better Understand Myelination Since the early part of the 20th century,
In particular, the process by which glial cellspecifically, Schwann cellsreate their fatty insulating layer that encircles the axons of peripheral neurons.
"Myelin is made by a glial cell wrapping around an axon cell, "explained senior author M. Laura Feltri, M d.,professor of biochemistry and neurology in the Jacobs School of medicine and Biomedical sciences at UB."

Y-shaped sensory and motor branch axon bundles found in the sciatic nerve has been achieved.""The exciting next step would be to implant these guides in humans rather than rats,
a key component of the cytoskeleton (backbone of the cell), has a different structure in axons than in dendrites, two parts of a neuron.

and Netrin-1 Guides Commissural Axons"),could eventually help develop tools to repair nerve cells following injuries to the nervous system (such as the brain and spinal cord).
as well as their long extensions known as axons. During development, axons must follow specific paths in the nervous system
in order to properly form neural circuits and allow neurons to communicate with one another. IRCM researchers are studying a process called axon guidance to better understand how axons manage to follow the correct paths."
"To reach their target, growing axons rely on molecules known as guidance cues, which instruct them on which direction to take by repelling
or attracting them to their destination, "explains Dr. Charron, Director of the Molecular biology of Neural development research unit at the IRCM.
Over the past few decades, the scientific community has struggled to understand why more than one guidance cue would be necessary for axons to reach the proper target.
In this paper, IRCM scientists uncovered how axons use information from multiple guidance cues to make their pathfinding decisions.
"We found that the steepness of the gradient is a critical factor for axon guidance;
the steeper the gradient, the better the axons respond to guidance cues, "says Tyler F. W. Sloan, Phd student in Dr. Charron's laboratory and first author of the study."
"In addition, we showed that the gradient of one guidance cue may not be steep enough to orient axons.
In those instances, we revealed that a combination of guidance cues can behave in synergy with one another to help the axon interpret the gradient's direction."
that is to say they can study the developing axons outside their biological context.""This new method provides us with several benefits
conduct longer-term experiments to observe the entire process of axon guidance, and obtain extremely useful quantitative data,
"A better understanding of the mechanisms involved in axon guidance will offer new possibilities for developing techniques to treat lesions resulting from spinal cord injuries,

Diffusion MRI measures the movement of water molecules to create a visual representation of the brain axons.
A long protrusion called an axon extends from the cell body to another nerve cell or organ along a specific transmission route.
In addition to rapid transmission of electric impulses, axons also transport molecular materials over these distances.""Axonal transport is a delicate and crucial process for neuronal survival,
#A microtubule'roadway'in the retina helps provide energy for vision Fluorescently labeled microtubules extend from the tips of the dendrites (top) into the axon and down into the giant synaptic terminal (bottom) of a single isolated goldfish retinal
that extended from the axon of the neuron into the synaptic terminal and then looped around the interior periphery of the terminal.
the mitochondria accumulated in the axon of the neuron and never made it to the synaptic terminal.

. of the UQ's Queensland Brain Institute that shows the major role played by PSR-1 in the regeneration of nerve axons.
In contrast, broken axons in nerve cells send PSR-1 molecules an SOS alert.""The moment there is a cut to the nerve cell we see a change in the cell membrane PS composition,
"Whether human PSR has the capacity to repair injured axons is still unknown, "he said."
which likely would promote faster healing in nerve axons.""We think the higher the PSR-1 level,
'We believe that to derive clinical benefits from OEC transplants a combination with other pharmacological agents is most likely to achieve significant axon regeneration
Multiple Synapses of the Same Axon Innervate Multiple Spines of the Same Postsynaptic Cell. An extreme example in which one axon (blue) innervates five dendritic spines (orange labeled 15) of a basal dendrite (green) is shown.
Arrows point to other varicosities of this axon that are innervating dendritic spines of other neurons (data not shown.
Scale bar: 2 m. Cell)" I'm a strong believer in bottom up-science, which is a way of saying that I would prefer to generate a hypothesis from the data
