Neuron, komórka nerwowa – rodzaj elektrycznie pobudliwej komórki zdolnej do przetwarzania i przewodzenia informacji w postaci sygnału elektrycznego. Neurony są podstawowym elementem układu nerwowego zwierząt.
A neuron, neurone, [1] or nerve cell is an excitable cell that fires electric signals called action potentials across a neural network in the nervous system.Neurons communicate with other cells via synapses, which are specialized connections that commonly use minute amounts of chemical neurotransmitters to pass the electric signal from the presynaptic neuron to the target cell through the ...
16 gru 2015 · Cortical layer 5 (L5) pyramidal neurons integrate inputs from many sources and distribute outputs to cortical and subcortical structures. Previous studies demonstrate two L5 pyramid types: cortico-cortical (CC) and cortico-subcortical (CS).
4 paź 2021 · Patapoutian, a professor in the Dorris Neuroscience Center at Scripps Research in La Jolla, CA, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator, shares the prize with David Julius, PhD, at the University of California San Francisco for “their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch.”
Kim et al. define and characterize three L5 neuron types in mouse primary visual cortex. These neurons display distinct morphology, physiology, brain-wide connectivity, and visual responses. Their results suggest different L5 neurons comprise distinct output channels for sensory information processing.
Cleveland developed a pair of gene silencing therapies widely applicable in human neurodegenerative disease. His initial approach established utility of “ designer DNA drugs ” (short single stranded DNAs) that mediate catalytic, RNase H-dependent degradation of the RNA encoded by any selected gene.
Sejnowski discovered the role of astrocytes, a type of brain cell, in producing unique brain waves that let mice recognize an object as new. When he blocked astrocyte function, mice treated everything in their cage the same rather than giving more attention to newly added objects.
