Neuronal function is intimately tied to axodendritic polarity. Neurotransmitter release, for example, is usually the role of the axon. There are widespread exceptions to this rule, however, including ...

Adult-born dopaminergic neurons in the mouse olfactory bulb are almost functionally mature at 5 weeks of cellular age. More immature adult-born dopaminergic cells do not have elevated functional ...

The number of people applying for visas to work and study in the UK fell by nearly 400,000

Patiño et al. introduce single transcriptome assisted rabies tracing (START), a new technical approach combining transsynaptic neuronal circuit mapping with transcriptomic classification to achieve precise neuronal characterization. Using START, they identify novel local cortical circuit connectivity motifs between inhibitory neuron subtypes and layer-specific excitatory subclasses.

Axons have always been assumed to be cylindrical. Using in silico modeling and cryopreservation of tissues, Griswold et al. demonstrate that unmyelinated axons of the mammalian central nervous system ...

UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).
