Sentences with phrase «neuronal cell bodies»

In dendrites and axons these rapid structural and functional changes occur concurrently — their length, size, shape, and number change to suit the needs of neuronal cell body communication.

During the final phases of pupal development, most neuronal cell bodies lyse.

Furthermore, brain imaging data for these very elderly animals shows a slight loss of grey matter (neuronal cell bodies), an effect that the researchers have not yet explained, as well as significantly slowed atrophy of white matter (the neuronal fibers connecting different areas of the brain).

Besides decreased corneal nerve fiber density, rapid SIV progressors had increased levels of SIV RNA, CD68 - positive macrophages, and GFAP expression by glial satellite cells in the trigeminal ganglia, the location of the neuronal cell bodies of corneal sensory nerve fibers.

At one point, the researchers witnessed a microglial cell creeping, amoeba - like, through densely interwoven nerve fibers as it displaced a neuronal cell body and its bundle of axons.

The technique revealed that the extracellular space is a profusion of creeping tendrils bursting from bulbous soma, or neuronal cell bodies, immersed in fluid.

In particular, they noted that the outgrowth of neurites — projections from a neuronal cell body that connect it to other neurons — was constrained by activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.

These neuronal cell bodies are protected deep within the body.

The labelling is for acetylated tubulin in red (identifying all axons), and green for the cell permeable dye calcein, which is only applied on the axonal side of the chambers (top half) and allows the identification of those neuronal cell bodies (bottom half) that have extended axons to the other side of the microfluidic device.
