What factors limit the minimum diameter of an axon? And what is that minimum diameter? Faisal and colleagues used biophysical theory and stochastic simulations to investigate these questions, and ...
A new perspective in Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience maps the emerging computational models of activity-dependent ...
In a provocative new study, scientists challenge a fundamental tenet in neuroscience about the shape of axons -- the long, thin filaments radiating from nerve cells that transmit electrical signals ...
Axons are the brain’s information highways, transporting cellular cargo, chemical signals, and electrical impulses to other cells. These “roads” are typically depicted as smooth and cylindrical, with ...
