Recent research challenges the long-held view that unmyelinated axons are smooth tubes by revealing a natural pearl-and-connector pattern that influences signal speed, with membrane mechanics and activity-induced shape changes playing key roles in neural timing and plasticity.
Ring has resumed allowing police to request user footage through a partnership with Axon, reversing its previous restrictions and aiming to enhance neighborhood safety, while maintaining user control and privacy protections.
Researchers have observed nerve plasticity within the axon initial segment (AIS) in real-time, shedding light on the adaptability of axons. The study reveals that the number of sodium channels in the AIS can change rapidly, within an hour, through a process called endocytosis. This adaptability allows for fine-tuning of neural activity and is crucial for learning and memory. The research team used innovative techniques, including live imaging, to observe these changes and identify the molecular mechanisms behind them. This groundbreaking research provides unprecedented insight into the intricate processes of neuroplasticity.
