Using the image above, let’s examine the three major components of a neuron. The soma is the cell body and contains the nucleus and other components of a typical cell. There are different types ...

Since PNS microglia are required for soma enlargement during neuron maturation, they may be subject to stronger selective pressure in vertebrates with larger peripheral neuronal somas—potentially ...

The brain really is an incredible organ, and neurons are the vital link between, well, everything. The brain is anything but set in stone; how we think, feel, reason, and understand the world changes ...

SwRI trained the algorithm to recognize two of the main parts of a neuron - the soma, which contains the nucleus, and dendrites, which branch off the soma. The team focused on tracking the somas ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...
