Neurotransmitter - Chemicals released by the axon terminals of one neuron to stimulate another neuron when it is picked up by its dendrites.

information flows along the neuron in one direction (from the dendrites to the axon, via the cell body).

Each nerve cell sends out an axon, a long fiber, to make contact with a target cell and build connections.

By a quirk of fate, he again axon, then with eye diseases and propensity for his failure.

While a myelin coating greatly accelerates an axon's bandwidth, it also inhibits the growth of new branches from the axon.

A junction between the axon of one neuron ( presynaptic ) and the dendrite of another (postsynaptic).

The question at issue is, why is a large axon better than a small one?

The optimal ratio of bare axon diameter divided by the total fiber diameter (including the myelin) is 0. 6.

CONCLUSION Axon reflex mediates increase in GMBF induced by electric stimulation of the intercostal nerve in rats.

This image shows a single neuron's soma and dendrites (at center, orange) and the dense branches of its axon (yellow).

The tissue observation revealed that the nerve axon was diffused in the motor reinnervated group, with no nerve endplates found.

The axon string then sends the information out through the axon terminals to other neurons.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated disease of the CNS that is characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and axon loss.

For the glia cell, there are swelling of body and process, cavitation of cytoplasm, decrease of synapses, dissolution of filament in axon.

There was only bits of axon regeneration and lots of scar formation in C group.

Other funds looking at gold include Eton Park and TPG-Axon, investors said.

TPG-Axon begins its letter by saying "2007 was a remarkable year across global markets" .

In brain, there is a flow of coded information from the synapses towards the axon.

It is these exposed channels that "leak" potassium ions, causing the axon to "short circuit" .

ATP released from an axon was indeed triggering calcium influx into Schwann cells.
