Specifically, sensory neurons are activated by a sensory input via ... They are the most common neuron found in mammalian bodies. Neuron Function Synapses Neural synapses are junctions between neurons ...

Sensory — carry signals from the ... with receptors on the membrane of the postsynaptic neuron, triggering a response. Chemical synapses are classified depending on the neurotransmitters they ...

Researchers from the lab led by Prof. Joris De Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) have discovered an important clue to how connections ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

Connections made via apical synapses seemed to be strengthened by movement information more than those made via basal ...

These diagrams have improved our understanding of neural circuits and their relation to behaviors like navigation, sensory ... data on fly neuron biophysics, such as inhibitory synapse properties ...

1 Researchers cultured a bifurcated sensory neuron with two motor neurons and found that repeated stimulation of a synapse on one of the motor neurons but not the other specifically strengthened that ...
