During evolution, organisms have come to perform more specialized tasks, requiring an increased degree of information processing by neurons and supply of nutrients by blood vessels. Wiring of neuronal ...

The neuronal cytoskeleton is functionally specialized within distinct compartments; local differences in cytoskeletal organization regulate local traffic patterns. In axons, the axon initial segment ...

Neurons, also known as nerve cells, send and receive signals throughout your nervous system. While neurons have a lot in common with other types of cells, they’re structurally and functionally unique.

You probably think of your nervous system as a kind of computer network, or some kind of electrical system that passes nerve impulses around. But in reality, the miraculous journey of a signal ...
