Components of Neurons A neuron is a nerve cell. It receives signals via chemicals called neurotransmitters. It then transmits the signals, electrically. A neuron consists of a cell body or soma, dendrites, and a single axon. It is one of many units that makes up the brain. Axons An axon...
Neocortical development depends on the intrinsic ability of neural stem and progenitor cells to proliferate and differentiate to generate the different kinds of neurons in the adult brain. These progenitor cells can be distinguished into apical progenitors, which occupy a stem cell niche in the ...
The connection between dementia and the pathological protein inclusions that signify AD was first reported by Alois Alzheimer in 1906 [9] and the senile plaques were defined as amyloid by the observation of Congo red binding [10]. However, it would take almost 80 years from the first report b...

One hypothalamic neural population, which are essential for controlling stress responses, are the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) neurons located in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). In addition to their well-known role in controlling corticosteroid (CORT) secretion, this neural population has ...
(Li et al.2020). Eggs are rich in protein and mainly have avidin, ovomucin, ovalbumin, lysozyme, phospholipids, lutein, and ovotransferrin. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties are present in the egg. Consumption of egg prevents wound, neurons, cardiovascular diseases, allergic reactions, ...
The co-occurrence of unhealthy metabolic traits has prompted ongoing endeavors to unveil their common genetic underpinnings. For instance, five categories of T2D mechanistic pathways were identified using T2D-associated variants through clustering analyses, and the genes and traits associated with each clus...
ROS can upregulate phosphorylated tau protein by inducing the malfunction of mitochondria in neurons and thus contribute to AD pathology [5,71]. Likewise, after oral administration for three weeks in the AD rat models, pratensein (10 and 20 mg/kg/day for 6 days) can improve cognitive deficits...
With recent advancements in AI, there’s also the possibility of computer architecture evolving into neuromorphic computing, a type of computer architecture Inspired by the human brain that uses artificial neurons and synapses to process information. Neuromorphic Computing holds promise for applications in...
