The current appears to make "the nerve cells communicate more effectively with other nerve cells" without giving the "strong stimulation that actually makes them fire off messages," she said.
To make sure that the cell damage created when the amygdala was surgically destroyed was not affecting the experiment, the researchers borrowed a gene therapy technique from Robert Sapolsky's lab at Stanford University to genetically introduce potassium channels into the amygdala, which shut down the activity of the nerve cells without causing injury.
The only previous direct measurements of Ca2+ movement in nerve cells without added buffers were described by Gorman et al. [42].
An infected person with HSV can be asymptomatic, carrying the virus within his nerve cells without complaining of any of its signs as the infection is in a "dormant state".

In 1990 scientists identified a gene on human chromosome 17 that is responsible for neurofibromatosis type 1; a defective version of this gene allows nerve cells to grow without restraint, resulting in neurofibromas.
We do know that huntingtin is critical for the creation and development of nerve cells, and that mice without the HD gene do not survive to birth (see Reiner 2003 in Molecular Neurobiology, or click here for the abstract.
Evolutionarily, this may have occurred to work around the weight limitations imposed by flight: packing more nerve cells into the brain without a directly proportional increase in size may have enabled them to acquire their remarkable intelligence while keeping their bodies light enough to take off.
Instead of ganglia containing numerous neurons, we found a network of bulky fibre bundles, honeycomb-like plexus structures and 'empty' ganglia without nerve cells.
Instead of myenteric ganglia containing numerous neurons, networks of bulky fibre bundles, comb-like plexus structures, and 'empty' ganglia without nerve cells were observed.
Evidence also was found for ongoing dopaminergic nerve cell loss without Lewy body formation in these patients.
