The secretory pathway delivery of cannabinoid type 1 receptor is axonally based, and surface expressed CB1R is more stable in axons than dendrites.
Researchers engineered microscopic probes which light up synapses in living neurons by attaching fluorescent markers onto synaptic proteins without affecting the neuron's ability to function.
Researchers have used a cocktail of small molecules to transform astroglial cells into functioning neurons.
A new study reports neural connectivity problems associated with neurodegenerative diseases could be the result of dendritic structural degeneration.
A new study reports on the role of dendrites in memory formation.
A new study reveals a previously unknown mechanism which establishes polarity in developing neurons. The findings could help to develop new therapies for spinal injuries and neurodegenerative diseases.
Using bioluminescent proteins from a jellyfish, scientists lit up the inside of a neuron, capturing spectacular video footage that shows the movement of proteins throughout the cell. The video offers a rare peek at how proteins, the brain's building blocks, are directed through neurons to renew its structure.
An overabundance of NOS1AP resulted in dendrites being stunted in the developing brains of rats, new research reports.
A new study reports on how a single instance of extreme stress can lead to long term neurological changes and trauma.
John Hopkins researchers have uncovered new details that may explain, on a molecular level, how ECT relieves severe depression in mammals.
Vitamin D causes dendritic cells to produce more CD31, hindering the activation of T cells. The study sheds light on how vitamin D deficiency regulates the immune system and can lead to autoimmune diseases, like multiple sclerosis.
Researchers have determined a group of genes associated with neurons help regulate dendrites' growth.
