Pyramidal neurons have basal and apical dendrites, including an apical tuft. This preserved core structure suggests that they have conserved core functions, whereas structural variation in other areas ...

A study has described how a gene mutation linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) disrupts the stability of neurons and “chokes off” their nuclei, impairing their function. The research, ...

Distinct regions of our brain are responsible for different tasks, such as vision, language, and memory. Within these regions, the nerve cells – or neurons - that respond to similar features are also ...

In Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, pathological aggregates of misfolded alpha-synuclein protein develop in brain neurons. Researchers have now described changes in hippocampal ...

A neuron model of Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementias shows defects that could suggest treatments to halt or reverse cognitive impairments before the neurons die BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - A decay of ...

A decay of brain function is a hallmark of Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, or DLB. Specifically, cognitive dysfunction defines DLB, and nearly eight of every 10 Parkinson's patients ...

Researchers at Princeton University, with the help of 250,000 gamers with crowdsourcing,Brain function mappingAs a result, six new types of neurons (Nerve cell) Was ...

Is there a difference in brain structure between men and women? If we were to find such a difference in a single neuron, would it matter? One of the most useful models for studying these questions is ...
