A Nature Communications study reveals the activity of dendrites increase as we sleep. This increased activity could be key to how we are able to form memories.
Researchers from Max Planck Institute have identified a neural connectivity pattern in the medial entorhinal cortex that appears to assist with navigation.
According to a PNAS study, the RNAs of tick borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) are transported from the cell body to dendrites. The viral RNAs then reproduce the viruses within the dendrites, disturbing neural activity.
Researchers discover lysosomes can travel to dendrites and also be recruited by dendritic spines.
Researchers shed light on how the eyes compute the direction of moving light.
A new study reports researchers have discovered the mechanism which may cause learning disorders and memory problems as a result of the immune system's reaction to viral infections like HIV and flu.
Researchers report neurons in areas of the brain associated with memory formation can form networks in the absence of synaptic activity.
A new biosensor can help visualize two proteins critical for synaptic plasticity, a new study reports.
Researchers believe their findings could change the way scientists understand how the brain works.
A new study tests conventional theories on the development of the nervous system and sheds light on how the nervous system may have evolved.
Researchers report neurons move the site of microRNA maturation away from the cytoplasm out to the dendrites.
A newly discovered retinal cell may cause myopia when it dysfunctions, researchers report.
