This discovery provides a unique example of sexual dimorphism in the structure of a single neuron, which is linked to behavioral differences. 'Male' vs. 'female' brains ...

Pyramidal neurons have basal and apical dendrites, including an apical tuft. This preserved core structure suggests that they have conserved core functions, whereas structural variation in other ...

The PVD neuron has male-specific structure and mating function in Caenorhabditis elegans. PNAS. 2025;122(13):e2421376122. doi: 10.1073/pnas.2421376122. This article has been republished from the ...

Areas of study include: neuron structure and function, methods of Cognitive Neuroscience, sensation and perception, movement, attention, learning and memory, and social and emotional behavior.

A decay of brain function is a hallmark of Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, or DLB. Specifically, cognitive dysfunction defines DLB, and nearly eight of every 10 Parkinson's ...
