The model calculations in the present study show that proteins are therefore preferably synthesized in the branched, tapering ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers found that the neuronal energy conservation program determines the location and ...

also known as nerve impulses, which involve rapid changes in voltage across their membrane. When a neuron’s dendrite or cell body receives enough inputs from other neurons via chemical or electrical ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers from the ...

Neurons or nerve cells are the fundamental components of ... one neuron to another requires the establishment of a neuronal synapse: either chemical (neurotransmitters) or electrical (protein ...

How does one nerve cell transmit the nerve impulse to another cell? Electron microscopy and other methods show that it does so by means of special extensions that deliver a squirt of transmitter ...

They placed central and peripheral nerve cells taken from rats together in ... these neurons make a connection called a synapse that transmits cold sensory information from the peripheral to ...

In my Feb 9 issue of Science, I read where our next big computer will work at the exaflop level (picture a switch being ...

Scientists have uncovered a crucial pathway that links brain cell activity to the activation of genes responsible for ...

Each of these serotonin modulators works on slightly different proteins or sets of proteins on the cells of your nerve synapses. So, each has a slightly different way of working and a slightly ...
