MeSH tree: C10.228.662.262
Huntington's disease is a devastating brain disorder that slowly robs people of movement, memory, and personality. It is caused by a toxic protein that builds in brain cells and ultimately kills them. For years, scientists ...

Understanding the shape or morphology of neurons and mapping the tree-like branches via which they receive signals from other cells (i.e., dendrites) is a long-standing objective of neuroscience research. Ultimately, this ...
Whether speaking or swinging a bat, precise and adaptable timing of movement is essential for everyday behavior. Although we do not have sensory organs like eyes or a nose to sense time, we can keep time and control the timing ...
