Disruption of synaptic integrity, loss of connectivity and axodendritic degeneration are early and essential components of neurodegeneration. Although neuronal cell death mechanisms have been ...

Spontaneous activity generated in the retina is necessary to establish a precise retinotopic map, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We demonstrate here that neural activity controls ...

I have always been impressed by the body’s ability to heal itself. A cut on your finger destroys skin cells, injures muscles and blood vessels and severs nerve cell extensions. It is painful, but not ...
