Sentences with phrase «through axon»

The experience of pain typically starts in receptors near the skin called nociceptors that transmit information through axon fibres to neurons in the spine, then to the brain.

When you stimulate a neuron, ions like sodium and potassium and chloride flow back and forth, causing what's called an action potential to travel down the neuron, through the axon, to a synapse.

Although restricted within boutons, the vesicle movement was substantially faster in nonbouton areas, consistent with the observation that a sizable vesicle pool continuously transits through the axons.

Electricity flows from neuron to neuron through the axons and dendrites.

Not exact matches

After entering axons through activated TRPV4 channels, calcium ions appear to disrupt the microtubule cytoskeleton by inhibiting a microtubule - stabilizing protein called STOP.

The 36 - officer department obtained 12 TASER AXON body cameras after gaining approval by the town board to purchase the equipment through a grant.

When axons burst open, they often distribute amyloid proteins through the neighboring brain tissue.

Cajal also figured out that nerve cells are polar, meaning that signals enter the cell through the shrubbery of the dendrites at one end and leave through the other end at the whiplike axon.

As serotonin neuron axons branch out through the brain, they can recognize other axons carrying identical IDs and spread out to keep out of each other's paths.

They trip each other up, which prevents the axons from fully extending through the brain and delivering the usual doses of serotonin, says Tom Maniatis, a study coauthor and molecular neuroscientist at Columbia University.

The way that an axon guides and finds its proper target is through so - called growth cones located at the tips of axons.

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.

Neurons need large amounts of energy to extend their axons long distances through the body.

Neurons, or nerve cells, in the brain communicate with each other by transmitting electric signals, or firing action potentials, through long processes named axons (which send out signals) and dendrites (which receive signals).

Through dozens of nerve biopsies, they did discover a key difference in AMAN from traditional GBS in that the attack focuses on the nerve axon, rather than the surrounding myelin.

«This means Ind - Cl works in two ways: through the immune system in terms of reducing brain and spinal cord inflammation, and directly by remyelinating the axons.

«If we can find ways to block it, maybe we can preserve function in a wide array of patients who have lost axons through neurodegenerative diseases or other neural trauma,» Freeman said.

They connect with each other through long, slender structures called axons.

AA: Continuing on Terry's earlier thread, in 2004, David Goldberg, a student in my lab did some theoretical work to model information transmission in a spiking axon, the canonical structure in the brain through which neurons communicate with each other over long distance.

It is the flow of electricity from neuron to neuron, through connections called axons and dendrites, that activates the neuroplastic growth of more efficient connections.

Each time a network is activated — the information recalled for review or use — the connections become stronger and faster (speed through a circuit is largely determined by the layers of myelin coating that are built up around the axons — this is also in response to the flow of the electric current of information transport when the circuit is activated).

It is only when multiple neurons connect through their branches (axons and dendrites) that a memory is stored and retrievable.
