Sentences with phrase «neural cell bodies»

In fact, according to researchers Laura Glynn and Curt Sandman, the volume of gray matter (or number of neural cell bodies) increases in the above regions in new mothers and is associated with their positive feelings toward their infants.

Not exact matches

Adult neural stem cells in the hypothalamus — a brain region that regulates hunger, sleep, body temperature and other activities — appear to orchestrate the body's aging process, they found.

The latest findings show that genetic defects in the body's ability to manufacture carnitine might be associated with an increased risk of autism because carnitine deficiency interferes with the normal processes by which neural stem cells promote and organize embryonic and fetal brain development.

Because neural crest cells contribute to so many tissues in the body, altering their function could change an animal's behavior, appearance and biology, the researchers reasoned.

To visualize the elements that make up neurons — axons, dendrites, and cell bodies — Seung and Berger used a computer to draw 3 - D surfaces around the neural structures found in the cube.

This neural highway might be especially important in pancreatic cancer, they say, because it grows fewer blood vessels that can carry cancer cells to the rest of the body.

Axons, the long projections of neural cells which form the nerves of our peripheral nervous system, are like electrical cables: they have thick electrical insulation so that they can quickly relay stimuli from the body and signals from the brain to a toe, for example.

But there are also neural stem cells as well as early progenitors that have this plasticity in most of the other systems of the body.

That dye stayed in the cells as they divided and moved from the neural tube to form different parts of the skate's body.

These research findings deliver new insight into the neuronal control of movement termination in vertebrates: «Stop cells» are brainstem neurons that affect neural networks in the medulla as command neurons and quickly end body activity.

Schwann cells form a protective myelin sheath around nerves, which acts as insulation to ensure rapid transmission of neural signals to limbs and other parts of the body.

Using Acks as a neural activity marker, we demonstrated that neural activity in the mushroom bodies, especially in Class II Kenyon cells, one subtype of mushroom body intrinsic neurons, and a restricted area between the dorsal lobes and the optic lobes was increased in the brains of Japanese honeybee workers involved in the formation of a hot defensive bee ball.

The unique tumor - tropic properties of neural stem cells (NSCs) may provide the means to significantly improve antibody distribution within metastatic tumor sites throughout the body [2], [3], [4], [5], [6].

Neural stem cells are found in adult or fetal brain and spinal cord or derived from embryonic stem cells, which have the capacity to become any cell type in the body, or induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, tissue - specific cells that are reprogrammed in the lab to behave like embryonic stem cells.

When injected into immunodeficient mice, the iPS cells grew into neural tissue, cartilage, muscle, and forebears of cells that line the intestinal tract — representing all classes of tissue that give rise to a complete body.
