  3. 🧠 #Neurons can communicate via a hidden network of #nanotubes, new study finds. Chang et al. (2025) show that dendritic nanotubes (DNTs) are #actin-based #dendrite-to-dendrite conduits transferring Ca²⁺ and molecular cargo (incl. #), rising before plaque deposition in mouse #cortex. This overlooked pathway may expand our view of neuronal communication beyond #synapses:
