Its size can range from 4 to over 100 micrometers. Dendrites protrude from the soma and act as the inputs of the neuron. A typical neuron will have thousands of dendrites, with each connecting to ...

Then, utilizing a machine-learning-algorithm the team developed called dCrawler, the color information was grouped together, wherein it would identify axons and dendrites of the same neuron.

Here, an axon from one neuron links to a dendrite of another. At these synapses, neurotransmitters carry signals across the gap, instructing the receiving neuron to pass on an electrical signal to ...

This manuscript introduces DendroTweaks, a useful web application and Python library that, compared to existing modeling tools, eases interactive graphical exploration, development, and validation of ...

This image shows the researchers' subcellular-sized devices, which are designed to gently wrap around different parts of neurons, such as axons and dendrites, without damaging the cells. The devices ...

By snugly wrapping around neurons, these devices could help scientists probe subcellular regions of the brain, and might even ...

According to this law, the receptive compartments of the neuron (its dendrites and cell bodies) conduct nerve signals towards the transmitting compartment, the axon. However, Ramón y Cajal did ...

This important paper takes a novel approach to the problem of automatically reconstructing long-range axonal projections from stacks of images. The key innovation is to separate the identification of ...
