After axons have reached their target field, short-range interactions between axons and target cells are required for specific synapse formation. This process involves structural modifications in both ...

Neurons, also known as nerve cells, send and receive signals throughout your nervous system. While neurons have a lot in common with other types of cells, they’re structurally and functionally unique.

Axonal conduction velocity, which ensures efficient function of the brain network, is related to axon diameter. Noninvasive, in vivo axon diameter estimates can be made with diffusion magnetic ...
