A new study by Tel Aviv University found for the first time a direct and clear connection between changes in the G protein-coupled receptors and the brain's ability to get used to external changes

Coloring of the meeting areas between nerve cells (green) and muscle (red). The yellow staining represents complete overlap between the nerve cells and the muscle in normal mice (bottom). In transgenic mice, which lack microRNA in nerve cells that innervate muscles, only the muscle staining is visible (above, in red), because the nerve in the junction area is diseased.

The motor neurons, which control voluntary muscle movement, gradually degenerate. As a result, the patient loses the function of most muscles

Cut through the retina. Except for the gray engulfing layers at the bottom, all the parts are transparent and have been painted here for demonstration purposes only. The nerve cells fill the blue volume, and the cell nuclei are pink, brown and red. The light comes from the pupil of the eye (above) and is captured in the funnels of the glial cells (green) where it is concentrated to the color-sensitive cells (membranes) marked in purple. The rest of the scattered light reaches the reed cells that are not sensitive to color (in orange). The thickness of the retina is about a quarter to half a millimeter.
