Researchers have identified a unique mitochondrial process in CA2 neurons that supports learning, memory, and social ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

Mitochondria located in the axon, a neuron’s output structure, are discrete organelles that are either stationary or motile. 2 In contrast, mitochondria are jammed together and often overlap in ...

Another intriguing issue that will need to be further addressed is the question of why functional mitochondria are lost in the neuronal terminals more than in the cell body. The authors propose ...

Mitochondria, often seen as cellular powerhouses, play a surprising role in immune regulation. Researchers found that ...

Mitochondria are essential for generating energy that fuels cells and helps them function. Mitochondria are essential for generating energy that fuels cells and helps them function.

Mitochondria are critical for cellular homeostasis, regulating bioenergetics, redox balance, Ca2+ signaling, and cell death. Mitochondrial Ca2+ (Ca2+mito) plays a dual role in physiological processes ...

Farris and her team discovered that mitochondria in CA2 neurons are not uniform. Instead, their structure and function vary depending on their location within the neuron. Mitochondria in the ...
