as axonal degeneration is arguably the most frequent neuronal pathology. Axons are interrupted in diseases as diverse as stroke, transverse myelitis and trauma. Even more prevalent are chronic ...

A typical neuron will have thousands of dendrites, with each connecting to an axon of another neuron. The connection is called a synapse but is not a physical one. There is a gap between the ends ...

axon transection can occur in inflammatory lesions, and axonal loss is closely correlated with disease severity. Thus the timing of this book is most appropriate: it gathers evidence of neuronal ...

By tapping into the enigmatic theory of how neurons transmit signals, scientists have proven they can one day build computer ...

The study identified a previously unknown gene that controls the regrowth of various CNS axon types, marking a significant ...

Memories are created in a matter of seconds. Researchers now may have begun to uncover how behavioral timescale learning ...
