A 3-D reconstructed image of neural dendritic trees using the advanced electron microscope technology

Tuesday, September 13, 2011 - 16:30 in Biology & Nature

Scientists have revealed the minute properties of dendritic trees by reconstructing 3-D images using the advanced electron microscope technology. The research team demonstrated the principle that "neurons normalize receiving signals, making it easier to receive farther signals because of the morphological characteristics of dendritic trees."
