A team of researchers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) developed a computational method that improves the tracking of neurogenesis as neurons ...

A typical neuron is composed of three main structures: the cell body, axon, and dendrites. The cell body is where most of the cellular organelles are located, including the nucleus, which contains the ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...
