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 ...

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 ...

Using a defined compound (parthenolide) from feverfew (Tanacetum Parthenium), they inhibited the vasohibins so that the ...

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 ...

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 ...

And other research has shown that microtubules are also heavily involved in the development of neurons. The researchers ...

New research details the subcellular structures in neurons that enable signals to be transmitted from where they are received at specific sites on dendrites to the decision-making cell body located ...
