Microtubules are the largest type of filament ... For example, neurofilaments are found specifically in neurons (most prominently in the long axons of these cells), desmin filaments are found ...

Quantum computers process multiple possibilities at once, unlike traditional computers. Quantum properties like entanglement ...

Like other eukaryotic cells, neurons have a cytoskeleton that consists of three main polymers: microtubules (green), intermediate filaments (purple) and actin filaments (red). Microtubules emanate ...

The Penrose-Hameroff Orch OR model places the essential aspect of consciousness at the level of quantum computation in microtubules within the brain's neurons. "Tubulin" proteins comprising ...

The grad students were given a brain scooped out of a severed skull. They put the organ in a plastic bag, placed it in an ice-filled cooler to keep it fresh and raced back to Waltham. Cow neurons are ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals ...

Several years ago, researchers determined that left-handed people have right-brain hemisphere ... has shown that microtubules ...

Neurons in the fly can radically remold their cytoskeleton to rebuild a severed axon -- a finding that might provide clues to how neurons recover from injury, researchers reported yesterday at the ...

Nerve fibers (axons) transmit brain and spinal cord signals through ... the balance between detyrosinated and tyrosinated ...

Tau is a microtubule-associated protein that helps to stabilize the structure of neurons, specifically by supporting microtubules ... and accumulates in the brain, this protein has been found ...
