Researchers were able to measure the speed of neuronal signal conduction along segments of single axons in neuronal cultures by using a high-resolution electrical method. The bioengineers are now ...

A team has shown that the axons of auditory neurons in the brainstem which respond to low and high-frequency sounds differ in their morphology, and that these variations correlate with differences in ...

WOODS HOLE, Mass. -- 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 ...

Scientists in the U.S. and Switzerland have identified three sets of factors that can prompt nerve axons to grow across the damage site of spinal cord injuries (SCI) and re-establish electrical ...
