... The potential difference that exists across the membrane of all cells is usually negative inside the cell with respect to the outside. The membrane is said to be polarized. The potential difference across the membrane at rest is called the resting potential and is approximately -70 mV in neurons. (T ...

In standard knockouts, it is difficult to separate the survival effects of NTs from their effects on the morphology of neurons. This problem has begun to be addressed by using conditional knockouts, or by crossin ...

This similarity in structure "fools" receptors and allows the drugs to lock onto and activate the nerve cells. Although these drugs mimic brain chemicals, they don't activate nerve cells in the same way ...

Well, just about every neuron in the human nervous system should fall into one these broad categories—but these categories do not capture the true diversity of the nervous system. Not even close.
