COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists have solved a longstanding mystery of the central nervous system, showing how a key protein gets to the right spot to launch electrical impulses that enable communication ...
Researchers have discovered that neurons can use two different neurotransmitters that target the same receptor on a receiving neuron to shape the transmission of a nerve impulse. Researchers have ...
According to the traditional theory of nerves, two nerve impulses sent from opposite ends of a nerve annihilate when they collide. New research from the Niels Bohr Institute now shows that two ...
One of the greatest, relatively underappreciated, discoveries in all of science was the discovery of the nerve impulse in the 1930s by the British Lord Adrian. Adrian did win a Nobel Prize for his ...
The myelin sheath is a protective covering that surrounds fibers called axons, which are the long thin projections that extend from the main body of a nerve cell or neuron. This sheath is composed of ...
This tidy volume recounts an exciting and important piece of neuroscience history, when investigators strove to understand the basis of synaptic transmission. The recognition of Cajal's 'neuron ...
