A mouse brain's motor cortex shows a subset of neurons, labeled in orange, that have long axons extending to the auditory cortex. (sciencedaily.com)
«Collectively, our recent work offers significant evidence that RPM - 1 coordinates how long an axon grows with construction of synaptic connections,» said Grill. (sciencedaily.com)
Neuronal activity typically requires sensory input — for example, a taste or smell — that gets received by neurons» dendrites and then transmitted as an electrochemical message to other cells via long axons. (scientificamerican.com)
