The amount of data on individual neurons of the human brain is very limited, both in terms of relative 3D coordinates and in terms of connectivity among neurons.

Scientists Create Functional 3D Brain TissueIn the brain, grey matter is made up of neuron cell bodies, while white matter is made up of bundles of axons. Because brain injuries and diseases often ...

Science brain biology Groundbreaking 3D brain scan generated 1.4 petabytes of data from millimeter-sized sample A full brain map would be massive By Zo Ahmed May 11, 2024 at 9:01 AM 21 comments ...

Tiny 3-D models that mimic vital aspects of the human nervous system have been developed in a step that could accelerate drug research for neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS).

The axon of one neuron, a dendrite of another, and the gap between them are collectively called a synapse. LTP is the idea that synapses that are used often grow strong. That is learning. The ...

When researchers detect shortened axons and dendrites in the neurons of a particular circuit in a mouse with a certain disease, for example, they can observe where the disease is having an effect.

The folding brain creates a stress landscape, causing axons – the long, slender projections of neurons that transmit electrical impulses – to grow differently in different areas of the brain.

These soft, battery-free wireless devices, actuated with light, are designed to wrap around different parts of neurons, such as axons and dendrites, without damaging them.
