Mesodiencepahlic dopaminergic (mdDA) neurons consist of multiple molecular and functional distinguishable subsets, besides the 'old' anatomical definition of the substantia nigra pars compacta and the ...

Electrical activity, mediated by a variety of voltage-gated ion channels, guides the development of embryonic neurons. For example, voltage-gated calcium channels are known to regulate several aspects ...

A new report describes using flow from a microtube to turn axonal growth cones that connect neurons. The publication adds insight to the long accepted idea that chemical cues are primarily responsible ...

A recent study published in the journal Nano Letters examines graphene's viability as a conducting neural surface capable of promoting cellular adhesion, nerve branching, and expansion. Study: ...
