Neurons are cells that transmit electrical signals through the nervous system. Motor neurons control muscle activity and movement by carrying impulses from the brain and spinal cord. Sensory neurons ...

In the developing brain, neurons must navigate through complex and often crowded tissue to reach their final destinations—this process is crucial for proper brain formation and function. Similar to ...

Using microfluidic devices mimicking the crowded spaces in the developing brain, researchers gained novel insights into distinct modes of locomotion found in neurons. In the developing brain, neurons ...
