Types of neurons and their function

Medically reviewed by Nicholas R. Metrus, MD Key Takeaways Neurons are cells that transmit electrical signals through the nervous system.Motor neurons control muscle activity and movement by carrying ...
This is a useful study that seeks to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying spinal motor circuit assembly. The authors demonstrate that loss of Onecut transcription factors in spinal motor ...
Our bodies’ nerve cells are important for transmitting electrical and chemical information between different parts of the brain and between the brain and other parts of the nervous system. One of the ...
Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...
