Scientists divide thousands of different neurons into groups based on function and shape. Let's discuss neuron anatomy and how it varies.

The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for ...

Humans and other animal species can experience many types of pain throughout the course of their lives, varying in intensity, ...

A single Purkinje neuron was filled with ANNINE dye through a pipette at the cell body (top). A typical neuron has a cell body with many tree-shaped processes called dendrites, and a long cable ...

Our technique, single-neuron labeling with inducible Cre-mediated knockout (SLICK), is achieved by coexpressing a drug-inducible form of Cre recombinase and a fluorescent protein in a small ...

The very label "neuron doctrine" implies that neither Golgi nor Ramón y Cajal imagined that these cells had any information-processing function.

Motor neurons are cells in your brain and spinal cord that help you walk, talk, and eat. Learn how damage to these cells could affect your movement and what your doctor can do to treat it.

Let it all out: A neuron labeled with aggregating florescent mCherry (white) expels much of the protein in a bright exopher, leaving a relatively dim soma behind. [Melentijevic et al., 2017. Nature.] ...
