neuropil
Synchronized spontaneous activity was evident in both soma-soma and soma-neuropil pairs.

One circuit consists of hindbrain neurons functionally coupled to spinal cord neuropil.

Suppression of neuropil aggregates and neurological symptoms by an intracellular antibody implicates the cytoplasmic toxicity of mutant huntingin.

This allowed us to perform between-cell analysis of spontaneous activity, an analysis we were unable to perform with the layer-wide measurements of the neuropil.

While men have more neurons in the cerebral cortex, the brain's outer layer, women have more neuropil, which contains the processes allowing cell communication.

In early stages, CTE is characterized by the presence of abnormal deposits of a protein called tau in the form of neurofibrillary tangles, glial tangles and neuropil threads throughout the brain.

Of note, these tau-immunoreactive NFTs and neuropil threads seem to show a preferential distribution in the cerebral cortex, involving the superficial neocortical layers and the depths of sulci.

- In neuroanatomy, a neuropil, which is sometimes referred to as a neuropile, is a region between neuronal cell bodies in the gray matter of the brain and spinal cord (i.e. the central nervous system). It consists of a dense tangle of axon terminals, dendrites and glial cell processes. ...
- Network of unmyelinated fibrils into which nerve processes of CNS divide.
- Nonmyelinated nerve fibers with numerous synapses (connections betweens neurons) in highly developed parts of the brain
