On the cartoon version of a neuron, the dendrites are the bad hair day, the tentacles that sprout in every direction from the cell body or soma. Surrounding neurons make their connections onto these projections, releasing neurotransmitters that travel across the synapse to the receiving dendrites where they produce excitation or inhibition. Thousands of these [...]
Blood-Brain Barrier Less Permeable in Newborns than Adults after Acute Stroke (press release): “The blood-brain barrier is selectively permeable and blocks unwanted molecules from entering into the brain. The selectivity is achieved through fine coordination in function of many transporting systems in endothelial cells, which line the interior of blood vessels, and communication between endothelial [...]
