Nerve cells have branched connections at each end ... There are different types of muscle cell, each perfectly adapted to its function: Cardiac (heart) muscle cells contract and relax to pump ...

Thus, this process is involved in long-term adaptations of cortical networks. The BMP2 signaling pathway has been known for ...

"What is surprising is the slow reaction of the nerve cells; the change takes several days to fully develop. Other neuronal adaptations are much faster. From a biological point of view, however ...
