It is more difficult to explain the functional significance of increased dendritic branching and spines that have occasionally been reported, but this could represent a compensatory response to ...

In their Review on page 316, Jan and Jan discuss studies in Drosophila melanogaster that have uncovered the many factors that shape the dendritic branching pattern in a neuron type-specific manner ...

Three published papers. Suzanne Paradis, Stephen Van Hooser and Eve Marder These labs are focusing on a gene, Rem2, that is required for normal synapse formation, dendritic branching and functional ...

To address the unmet need for a cure for RTT, the therapeutic potential of adult Neural Precursor Cells (NPCs) was ...

Nerve cells in the brain receive thousands of synaptic signals via their "antenna," the so-called dendritic branch. Permanent changes in synaptic strength correlate with changes in the size of ...

A new study reveals that neighboring synapses compete for molecular resources during plasticity. This competition affects ...

Nerve cells in the brain receive thousands of synaptic signals via their "antenna", the so-called dendritic branch. Permanent changes in synaptic strength correlate with changes in the size of ...

Tomalia, Donald A 2012. Interview: An Architectural Journey: From Trees, Dendrons/Dendrimers to Nanomedicine. Nanomedicine, Vol. 7, Issue. 7, p. 953.

Nerve cells in the brain receive thousands of synaptic signals via their "antenna", the so-called dendritic branch. Permanent changes in synaptic strength correlate with changes in the size of ...

The human brain contains around 100 billion nerve cells, or neurons, interconnected by a dendritic (branching) structure. So, ...
