The word "neuronal" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it to refer to anything related to neurons or the nervous system. For example: "New research has revealed that neuronal damage can affect memory."
Variations in both genes cause an accumulation of proteins in the cytoplasm of neurons, which is suspected to contribute to neuronal dysfunction.
Neuronal output is the frequency of action potentials in the axon of the neuron in question.
Boyden and his colleagues used the method to perform super-resolution imaging of a 10 million cubic micrometer chunk of tissue from the mouse hippocampus, stained with antibodies against three different neuronal proteins, using a standard confocal fluorescence microscope.
The findings, reported in the journal Stem Cell Reports, indicated that defective GRN altered the Wnt signalling pathway, which plays an important role in neuronal development.
This process of mutual reinforcement provides the selective pressure that is the prerequisite for any Darwinian-based theory: to those neuronal networks that have shall be given, from those that have not, even what little they have shall be taken away.
In March the American government is expected to launch an attempt to solve biology's most mysterious problem: how the brain works.The Brain Activity Map, as this project seems likely to be called, will study how the brain is wired up at all levels, from the connections between individual nerve cells to the neuronal superhighways between its various lobes and ganglia.
He is convinced that scientists will soon be able to describe the "entire neuronal circuit which is affected by verbal placebo suggestions".Though the details remain murky, it is clear that the key to the placebo effect lies in the patient's "positive expectation of a reward", in the words of Nico Diederich, a neuroscientist at Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg.
How these widely spaced neuronal responses are "bound" together into the coherent perception of a rolling apple is, as yet, unknown.Some neuroscientists, notably Wolf Singer, at the Max Planck Institute in Frankfurt, think the brain achieves perceptual binding by combining the activities of disparate groups of nerve cells into one synchronised, wavelike processing unit.
These are easy to grow in culture, so Dr Gage and Dr Tuszynski remove some from their experimental animals, add a few new genes to encourage them to make neuronal growth factors, and then let them multiply.
Daniel Wilson, also a polio victim, pieces together the experiences of 150 patients into a moving picture of the disease, from early symptoms to the alarming emergence of post-polio syndrome, a sort of neuronal exhaustion which sets in decades after the original episode.
This loss must be temporary, however, or the animal would become more amnesic with each hibernation.The brain stores information in neuronal networks.
