Understanding the structure of axons is important for understanding brain cell signaling. Axons are the cables that connect our brain tissue, enabling learning, memory and other functions." ...

The axon initial segment (AIS) is where nerve signals begin, and its adaptability is key to brain function. Scientists have found that the AIS changes in response to activity levels, helping neurons ...

It discusses their role in the remodelling of the structure of the lamina cribrosa and the effect that this might have on axon function. Recent evidence has shown that the modulation of astrocyte ...
