Each combines several elements of the basic neuron shape. In terms of function, scientists classify neurons into three broad types: sensory, motor, and interneurons. Sensory neurons are triggered ...

The study shows that these three neuron types probably play a part in the decoding of sonic intensity (i.e. volume), a function that is crucial during conversations in a loud environment, which rely ...

One, published in Neuron on June 17, described the epigenome of three different types of neuron from the mouse brain—one excitatory, and two inhibitory. Among a slew of other findings, the study ...

Type 3 (also called Kugelberg-Welander disease ... The outlook is different for each type of motor neuron disease. Some are milder and progress more slowly than others. Although there is no ...

the researchers observed the migration of cerebellar granule neurons—a type of neuron found in the cerebellum—in both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) environments. In 2D ...

"This project came to life thanks to the convergence of three critical innovations: using molecular biology to successfully 'tag' different neuron types using light, developments in silicon probe ...
