  2. Bipolar neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_neuron

    Bipolar neurons, classified as second-order retinal neurons, play a crucial role in translating responses to light into a neural code for vision. [5] Often found in the retina, bipolar cells are crucial as they serve as both direct and indirect cell pathways. The specific location of the bipolar cells allow them to facilitate the passage of ...

  3. Nutrition and cognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrition_and_cognition

    Through digestion dietary proteins are broken down into individual amino acids and absorbed into the blood. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The essential amino acids tyrosine and tryptophan are precursors for the neurotransmitters dopamine , serotonin , and norepinephrine , and these chemicals modulate neural activity and influence cognitive functioning.

  4. Reelin - Wikipedia

    One example is the neuronal transcription factor NPAS3, disruption of which is linked to schizophrenia [151] and learning disability. Knockout mice lacking NPAS3 or the similar protein NPAS1 have significantly lower levels of reelin; [152] the precise mechanism behind this is unknown.

  6. Brain cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_cell

    Neurons are polarised cells that are specialised for the conduction of action potentials also called nerve impulses. [1] They can also synthesise membrane and protein. Neurons communicate with other neurons using neurotransmitters released from their synapses, and they may be inhibitory, excitatory or neuromodulatory. [5]

  7. Nutritional neuroscience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutritional_neuroscience

    Poor diet in early childhood affects the number of neurons in parts of the brain. [1]Nutritional neuroscience is the scientific discipline that studies the effects various components of the diet such as minerals, vitamins, protein, carbohydrates, fats, dietary supplements, synthetic hormones, and food additives have on neurochemistry, neurobiology, behavior, and cognition.

  8. KIF15 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KIF15

    KIF15 (also known as Kinesin-12 and HKLP2) is a motor protein expressed in all cells during mitosis and in postmitotic neurons undergoing axon growth. [6] KIF15 maintains bipolar microtubule spindle apparatus in dividing cells and shares redundant functions with KIF11. [7]

  9. Retina bipolar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina_bipolar_cell

    Bipolar cells receive synaptic input from either rods or cones, or both rods and cones, though they are generally designated rod bipolar or cone bipolar cells. There are roughly 10 distinct forms of cone bipolar cells, however, only one rod bipolar cell, due to the rod receptor arriving later in the evolutionary history than the cone receptor ...
