Dendrite morphogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans represents a pivotal process in neural development, orchestrating the formation of complex dendritic trees that underpin neuronal connectivity. This ...

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind for life. Adolescence is a major turning point not only for social and ...

The detailed mapping revealed an unexpected pattern. One specific section of the dendrite contained an unusually dense ...

Researchers from Kyushu University discovered a previously unrecognized synaptic “hotspot” that forms during adolescence, challenging the long-held view that adolescent brain development was dominated ...

Neurons are the cells that constitute neural circuits and use chemicals and electricity to receive and send messages that allow the body to do everything, including thinking, sensing, moving, and more ...
