A new discovery provides a unique example of sexual dimorphism in the structure of a single neuron, which is linked to ...

Neurons vary in structure, function ... They’re the most common type of neuron. They pass signals from sensory neurons and other interneurons to motor neurons and other interneurons.

To answer these questions, Dr. Iosilevskii and Dr. Katz studied the development of the sensory neuron PVD. This neuron has a highly branched structure, with repetitive subunits resembling a ...

Using genetic tools to activate these two neuron types with light ... each vagus nerve contains about 2,500 sensory neurons, a small number for a structure that innervates the heart, lung ...
