Dictionary » N » Neurons Neuronsneurons Any of the conducting cells of the nervous system. A typical neuron consists of a cell body, containing the nucleus and the surrounding cytoplasm (perikaryon); several short radiating processes (dendrites); and one long process (the axon), which terminates in twiglike branches (telodendrons) and may have branches (collaterals) projecting along its course. ![]()

Results from our forumliving forever... accumulated damages if all our body regenerate it self, exept the brain which is not regenerate but still able to make new cells) and maybe other neurons which are inside the body and not really exposed to external effects. even if we'll focus on individuals, wht should'nt evolution try to make ...

Re: Natural selection is proven wrong... desirable at the molecular level being expressed at the level of the emergent peacock brain. What they find desirable is not here hard-wired into neurons as an image or picture of what it should find desireable in a mate, it is an expression of the molecular genome itself that even responds chemically ...

blood brain barrier... by the immune cells. When infection occurs such as meningitis or encephalitis, because of the inflammation caused by bacterial toxins, destroyed neurons and endogenous substances, the endothelial cells become more permeable (the cell junctions loosen), and immune cells can enter the brain. Only ...

adipose tissue - urgent help... which the physiology of NST in the BAT of neonatal mammals is different from that of BAT in adult hibernators? a) NST is stimulated by adrenergic neurons. b) NST generates enough heat to raise the body temperature above its normal euthermic temperature. c) NST is stimulated as the body cools passively. ...

Re: Any SOLID arguments against evolution?... genome finds desirable at the molecular level being expressed in the emergent peacock brain. What they find desirable is not here hard-wired into neurons it is an expression of the molecular genome itself that even responds chemically with hormones that increase to cause physiological change that ...
