Definition: A long, slender projection of a nerve cell that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body Table of Contents What Is Axon? An axon is a thin, long fiber of a nerve cell (or neuron). It transmits electrical impulses from the cell body (or soma) to the target ...
In the case of a motor neuron located in the spinal cord of the human body we typically have a=50μm and L=1m, so that a/L=5⋅10−5. In the case of the squid giant axon analyzed in [150] we have a=0.25mm and L=5cm, so that a/L=5⋅10−3. Therefore, we see ...
The bars are aligned with a diagram of the fish to show axon growth in relation to body segments. Treatment was done 3–5 days after lesioning, except for the bottom two fish (marked by dots), which were treated 14 days after lesioning. (B) Histogram showing distance of axon regeneration...
Body temperature was maintained during surgery and recovery at 38ºc using a heated pad and incubator.Fig. 1 Weight drop induced mild traumatic brain injury and caused cortical function impairment in mice. A An illustration of the weight-drop-induced motor and sensory cortex injury site. B ...
concentric circles with increasing radii (1 μm increments) centered on the cell body. Quantification of spines and swelling dendrites was analyzed using Fiji-ImageJ2. The number of spines was normalized by the length of the axon, and the percentage of swelling dendrites was calculated. ...
Cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) was injected into the eyes of the mice 3 days before euthanasia. Histology After the mice were anesthetized with 1% sodium pentobarbital, the whole body was perfused with normal saline and 4% PFA for prefixation. Next, the eyeball, optic nerve, optic chiasm, ...

functions in its own right. Notably, 5hmC is highly abundant in the CNS, accounting for ~40% of modified cytosines, mostly in gene body regions19,20,21,22, and is pivotal for neuronal differentiation22,23. While these earlier studies showed the necessity of Tet3 and DNA demethylation for...
