Research that is taking a closer look at activity in the thalamus—a region long considered a relay station for the brain and ...

在发育的脊髓中，神经管的背部能产生两种体感神经元，联络神经元（association neuron）和中继神经元（relay neuron）。与这两种神经元分化特异性的调控因子还不清楚，两个研究组在Neuron上的报道发现Lbx1在这个过程中可能有重要作用。 Müller et al.把这两种神经元的 ...

Relay — carry signals from one place to another within the CNS. Motor — carry signals from the CNS to muscles. Share on Pinterest Neurons carry messages via action potentials. If a neuron ...

The thalamus contains three main neuron types: excitatory relay cells, local inhibitory interneurons and gamma-aminobutryic acid (GABA)-ergic neurons in the reticular nucleus. 8 Large ...

Receptor in the skin detects a stimulus (the change in temperature). Sensory neuron sends electrical impulses to a relay neuron, which is located in the spinal cord of the CNS. Relay neurons ...

But now researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have shown that these dendrites do more than relay information from one neuron to the next. They actively process information ...

which travels along the axon of the neuron until it reaches the end. Here at the synapse, the electrical signal is converted to the release of chemical signals, which via diffusion can relay the ...

Thus, signals coming from a given neuron provide information about odors ... which sit in the mucus in the back of the nose and relay data into the brain via axons (fingerlike projections that ...
