Promoting adult hippocampal neurogenesis is expected to induce neuroplastic changes that
improve mood and alleviate anxiety. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely …

As plastic production has been increasing steadily, environmental pollution resulting from
microplastics (MPs) continues to draw considerable attention of the researchers. Several …

Noxious stimuli trigger a stereotyped escape response in animals. In Drosophila larvae,
class IV dendrite arborization (C4 da) sensory neurons in the peripheral nervous system are …

Background Neurons are one of the most structurally and functionally diverse cell types
found in nature, owing in large part to their unique class specific dendritic architectures …

Ligand receptor interactions instruct axon guidance during development. How dendrites are
guided to specific targets is less understood. The C. elegans PVD sensory neuron …

Genetic engineering of natural light-gated ion channels has proven a powerful way to
generate optogenetic tools for a wide variety of applications. In recent years, blue-light …

Dendrites are intricately designed neuronal compartments that play a vital role in the
gathering and processing of sensory or synaptic inputs. Their diverse and elaborate …

One of the characteristics of the neurons that distinguishes them from other cells is their
complex and polarized structure consisting of dendrites, cell body, and axon. The complexity …

During differentiation, neurons require a high lipid supply for membrane formation as they
elaborate complex dendritic morphologies. While glia-derived lipids support neuronal …

Dendritic arbors are compartments of neurons dedicated to receiving synaptic inputs. Their
shape is an outcome of both the intrinsic genetic program and environmental signals. The …
