The growing axons also rely on transient neuronal structures such as guideposts, during pathfinding.

However, a large body of evidence now makes it clear that dendrites are active neuronal structures.

The specific way this microscopy works allows one to look at one confocal plane at a time, which is optimal when viewing neuronal structures.

Other more conventional forms of microscopy simply do not allow one to visualize all neuronal structures, especially those that are subcellular.

Recently, some researchers have actually been combining design-based stereology and confocal microscopy to further their investigations into the specific neuronal cellular structures.

This synapse formation is required for the development of neuronal structure in the functioning brain.

Major depression which is believed to be modified by acetylcholine systems, is a functional disorder pertaining to the same neuronal structures that regulate dreaming.

To unravel the biological design principles, computer-aided analyses of neuronal structure and signal transmission based on modern information theories and engineering methods are employed.

Enriched environments affect the expression of genes in the cerebral cortex and the hippocampus that determine neuronal structure.

While the neuroscience concerning curiosity is still relatively unknown, certain neuronal structures have been implicated in various aspects of curiosity:
