Study reveals axon density is lower than previously believed between distant regions of the brain.
Abnormalities are linked to axonal dysfunctions and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease and Down syndrome, a new study reports.
A new study reveals both genetics and environment play a role in shaping brain connectivity.
Researchers have identified a thick band of microtubules within retinal neurons which help provide the energy required for visual processing.
Researchers report axon regeneration can be boosted by using optogenetics or chemogenetics to enhance neural activity.
Researchers report enhancing sleep following TBI may help to prevent some damage to brain cells.
Axon pruning becomes reactivated in neurodegenerative diseases, a new study finds.
Researchers reveal the complex neural network that connects the retina and thalamus may represent the first stage in processing visual information learned by experience.
Researchers suggest myelin is not as ubiquitous as thought.
High frequency stimulation of neural fibers leads to greater OPCs proliferation, a new study reports.
Severed axonal segments signal to Schwann cells to begin actin sphere formation and axon disintegration. If the process is disrupted, axon disintegration is slowed and axon fragments impair nerve regeneration.
A single neuron from a fruit fly embryo has revealed insights into the causes of some psychological diseases.
