Short example sentences

Axons frequently travel through the body in bundles called nerves. (10 words)

Among these targets, the GPe does not send axons outside the system. (12 words)

The authors suggest that electrical activity in axons may regulate myelination in axons. (13 words)

Longer example sentences

White matter gets its light color from the myelin sheaths of axons: the white matter parts of the brain are characterized by a high density of myelinated axons passing through them, and a low density of cell bodies of neurons. (40 words)

Although there are more than 130 million retinal receptors, there are only approximately 1.2 million fibres (axons) in the optic nerve; a large amount of pre-processing is performed within the retina. (33 words)

At the molecular level, the basic questions addressed in molecular neuroscience include the mechanisms by which neurons express and respond to molecular signals and how axons form complex connectivity patterns. (30 words)

Example sentences (20)

Sometimes they may myelinate many axons, especially when in areas of short axons. citation Oligodendrocytes usually myelinate several axons.

The authors suggest that electrical activity in axons may regulate myelination in axons.

There are two types of axons occurring in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system: unmyelinated and myelinated axons.

Three types of axons also play dominant roles: mossy fibers and climbing fibers (which enter the cerebellum from outside), and parallel fibers (which are the axons of granule cells).

While cortical axons synapse mainly on spine heads of spiny neurons, nigral axons synapse mainly on spine shafts.

White matter gets its light color from the myelin sheaths of axons: the white matter parts of the brain are characterized by a high density of myelinated axons passing through them, and a low density of cell bodies of neurons.

Considering their beautiful, but frightening, appearances, it seems unusual that the Axons are yet to see their modern-day revival.

White matter, on the other hand, is mostly made of nerves called axons that transmit signals.

Advertentie

When the molecule stretches throughout the entire membrane, it makes the recordings blurry (the axons and dendrites of individual neurons extend far from its body).

Researchers have also found an increased number of axons, which are neural connectors, in meditators’ brains.

Although, some types of neurons in certain species lack axons and simply transmit signals via their dendrites.

Although there are more than 130 million retinal receptors, there are only approximately 1.2 million fibres (axons) in the optic nerve; a large amount of pre-processing is performed within the retina.

Among these targets, the GPe does not send axons outside the system.

A nerve provides a common pathway for the electrochemical nerve impulses that are transmitted along each of the axons to peripheral organs.

Another set of molecules called extracellular matrix adhesion molecules also provide a sticky substrate for axons to grow along.

At the molecular level, the basic questions addressed in molecular neuroscience include the mechanisms by which neurons express and respond to molecular signals and how axons form complex connectivity patterns.

Axons and dendrites in the central nervous system are typically only about one micrometer thick, while some in the peripheral nervous system are much thicker.

Axons, because they commonly extend a great distance from the cell body and need to reach specific targets, grow in a particularly complex way.

Axons can be distinguished from dendrites by several features including shape, length, and function.

Axons frequently travel through the body in bundles called nerves.
