In the first comprehensive, cell-by-cell analysis of brain tissue from individuals with Tourette syndrome, researchers have ...

Some adult neurons have projections that are amazingly long – thousands of times the length of their cell bodies in some cases. This means that during development, the growing cells need to be able to ...

A new Drosophila collection of Parkinsonism models reveals early synaptic cholinergic projection neuron dysfunction, linking synaptic failure to later dopaminergic decline, highlighting a role for ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, by mapping cells in a ...

Connectivity mapping revealed a streamlined architecture: nearly 50,000 local neurons feed into 4,500 projection neurons, which transmit visual information to the central brain through 352 distinct ...

Their findings suggest HVC is organized into highly structured neural modules that contain both projection neurons and ...

In the study, researchers based at McGill University in Canada mimicked nerve injury in 8 to 12-week-old mice and then collected what are known as projection neurons, which transmit signals to distant ...

Neurons, the principal brain cells, are known to encode and relay information. Dendrites—the branch-like projections extending from neurons—serve a critical role in how information is ...

This valuable study shows that locomotion-related modulations in the mouse visual cortex are not uniform but primarily affect neurons in muscarinic receptor-negative patches, which receive projections ...
