A single neuron in the brain can have thousands of synapses, each of which can grow, strengthen, weaken, and change structurally in response to learning new information. Neuroscientists plan to use a virus that carries DNA from neuron to neuron, combined with DNA sequencing technology, to understand how the brain of the mouse is wired, cell by cell. Aspartic acid, also known as aspartate, acts as a neurotransmitter in your brain by facilitating the transmission of information from neuron to neuron. Pass by your rose bush on the way to the car, another specific neuron fires. Each neuron receives impulses, through tiny hair-like structures called dendrites. Many stem cell projects involve maturing stem cells in a lab dish to become a type of neuron that goes awry in particular diseases. Take one step out the front door, and an individual brain cell fires. His work since then reflects that interest in understanding and treating diseases of the brain. The brain is full of special cells, called neurons. What is the architecture of the baby's brain like?
