Ion Channel Density Surprisingly Different for Human Neurons – Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
Human neurons have fewer ion channels, which might have allowed the human brain to divert energy to other neural processes.
In a surprising new finding, neuroscientists have shown that human neurons have a much lower density of ion channels than expected, compared to the neurons of other mammals. Ion channels produce electrical impulses, which is how neurons communicate. The…
