Mandated empowerment: handing antipoverty policy back to the poor?

abstract：:A cardinal feature of neurons is the morphological polarity of neurons with serious functional implications. Typically, a neuron has a single axon and several dendrites. Neuronal polarity is essential for the unidirectional signal flow from somata or dendrites to axons in neurons. The initial event in establishing a p...
