Sentences with phrase «types of neurons creates»

Not exact matches

For this particular study, the research team created a small library consisting of different fly lines; in each line, a different set of specific neurons was genetically labeled and could be artificially activated, with each neuron type secreting a different neuropeptide.

Action potentials can be created by many types of cells, but are used most extensively by the nervous system for communication between neurons and to transmit information from neurons to other body tissues such as muscles and glands.

To create different cell types in the lab, stem cells must be coaxed down the road of determination — the branching paths that fetal cells normally travel to become neurons, skin cells, muscle cells, or any number of other cell types.

Accurately labelling neurons with markers such as fluorescence, he says, will probably be the key challenge in the eventual goal of creating a «census» of different cell types in the brain.

Sundberg also plans to create other types of neurons for modeling ASD.

To create the repository, the researchers are taking blood cells from Gulf War veterans and «reprogramming» them into their «pluripotent» state, which can then be transformed into any type of cell, from a kidney to a neuron.

Labeled antibodies, which bind to specific cell types, allowed the researchers to determine which types of neuron were being created at which times.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes created a special type of neuron from human stem cells that could potentially repair spinal cord injuries.

Some cells differentiated themselves into various types of the nerve cells (neurons) found in several brain regions, while others remained «neural progenitors,» creating a reservoir of potential neurons to be used later.

Among these achievements are the development of new techniques for classifying different types of neurons; automated methods for creating wiring diagrams of the connections between cells in the mammalian brain; new ways of recording and manipulating the electrical activity of hundreds, even thousands, of cells simultaneously; and, advanced microscopes that allow researchers to visualize the activity of all the cells in the brains of small animals.
