When an action potential is generated, the axon membrane depolarizes, meaning there is a rapid influx of positively charged ions, particularly sodium ions, into the axon. This influx of positive charges causes a localized alteration in the electrical potential, creating an electrical impulse. Depola...

If future experiments reveal that the spread in the branching exponent is real, meaning that the law poorly describes individual branch points, the law can still be used in average sense. For example, it could be used to estimate costs of many branching axons in the theory of cortical maps ...
Developmental biology Genetic Dissection Of Axon Guidance Mechanisms In the Drosophila Nerve Cord UNIVERSITY OF NEVADARENO Thomas Kidd BousumAdam JAxon guidance is the process by which the neurons in a developing organism extend their axons and make the connections that will carry vital information ...
24). An antidromically evoked spike (blue) disappears because of a collision with a spontaneously occurring spike (red) along the axon, meaning true axonal projection. Otherwise, the spike is determined as a non-antidromic (synaptic) spike (orange). b ChR2 localized at axon terminals improves...
The gene regulation underlying axon formation and its exclusiveness to neurons remains elusive. TRIM46 is postulated to determine axonal fate. We show Trim46 mRNA is expressed before axonogenesis, but TRIM46 protein level is inhibited by alternative spli
It is important to clarify what we understand by ‘dying back’ in neurological disorders. The term has several meanings and using them interchangeably can lead to confusion. Each meaning is considered below, along with a critical assessment of whether this applies in ALS. ...
(11) (12) Some implications of using an approximation like (12) for (11) are discussed in Krottje (2003a). There the case of self-interaction is considered, meaning that for a particular field a source is attached to a state and the dynamics of the state is determined by the same ...
your body. Neurons, specialized cells that transmit and receive nerve impulses, are made up of dendrites, which bring in electrical signals, and axons, which send them out.Axongained this meaning in 1899—earlier, it meant "skeletal axis of the body," from the Greek meaning ofaxon, "axis....
Two meanings of the term axony are found in the ichnological literature. Multiple meanings may prove to be a double-edge sword, complicating scientific communication. In vertebrate ichnology the first meaning of axony relies on aspects of locomotion related to the body weight support and ...
