Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied how electrical activity affects the structure of neurons, specifically looking at the cytoskeleton, which gives neurons their shape.
- They used high-resolution electron microscopy to observe changes in the sciatic nerve of mice after applying different frequencies of electric pulses.
- The results showed that neuronal stimulation significantly reduced the density of key cytoskeletal proteins, suggesting that this chemical change may help facilitate neuronal function and shape in response to electrical signals.
