Additionally, previously undescribed topologies were revealed in the other pathways. This approach enhances the power of modern imaging by enabling study of fiber connections among anatomically and functionally defined brain regions in individual human subjects....
pro-survival signaling does converge on some common core components (Figure 2). However, data accumulated over the recent years show that different types of neurons in the brain might use different pro-survival mechanisms as there are a

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) scientists have taught computers to recognize a neuron in microscope images of the brain more efficiently than any previous approach. The researchers improved the efficiency of automated methods for tracing neurons and their connections, a task that is increasingly ...

Reorganizing glutamate pathways in the developing brain may provide a substrate for hypoxic-ischemic neuronal injury: Johnston, M. V., F. S. Silverstein, J. Barks, R. MacDonald, A. B. Young, J. Penney and T. Greenamyre. Department of Pediatrics and Neurology, The University of Michigan,...
outputs (motor, endocrine and descending neurons) across both hemispheres and between the central brain and the optic lobes. Tracing from a subset of photoreceptors to descending motor pathways illustrates how structure can uncover putative circuit mechanisms underlying sensorimotor behaviours. The ...
“We observed that neurons in the mesencephalic locomotor region are stimulated when the animal moves spontaneously, but also in response to a visual stimulus. They project through the pons—the central part of the brain stem—and the medulla to activate a subpopulation of reticulospinal neurons ...
New insights into the protein-mediated motor neuron loss in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Our movements are controlled by multiple neural pathways that connect the brain and spinal cord. In particular, neurons in the cerebral cortex send commands to the motor neurons in the spinal cord and then to...
Researchers of the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering of ETH Zurich were able to measure the speed of neuronal signal conduction along segments of single axons in neuronal cultures by using a high-resolution electrical method. The bioengine
