We now know that the axon has only a modest repertoire of local protein synthesis. Instead, it depends largely on materials synthesized in the nerve cell body and delivered by axonal transport.

1 Neurons are composed of a cell body containing the nucleus, dendrites that receive chemical, electrical, or other signals via receptors or through gap junctions (direct connections between two ...

It helps transmit nerve signals, or impulses, down a long axon. All neurons have a cell body. The cell body contains important structures, such as the genetic information, energy producing ...

Cranial motor axon projections are guided by diffusible cues and aided by guideposts, such as nerve exit points, glial cells and muscle primordia. The recent identification of genes that are ...

AXON recently secured a federal government deal to deliver its premier Axon Body 4 body-worn cameras and digital evidence management system — Axon Evidence, to Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
