Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

In the hippocampus, a critical brain region for learning and memory, new cells emerge in some people into late adulthood, ...

Neuroscientists want to understand how individual neurons encode information that allows us to distinguish objects, like ...

Researchers have pinpointed the precise pathway in the brain that suppresses pain in times of threatening situations.

The membrane trafficking of sensory TRP channels is a crucial mechanism for tuning sensory neuron input/output relationships (Linley et al, 2010; Rivera et al, 2024) and, hence, the overall ...

Synopsis The abundance of sensory channels on a nerve cell’s surface influences its overall sensitivity to stimuli. This article shows that Copine-6, a calcium-sensitive phospholipid-binding protein, ...

Therefore, the present study aimed to develop an experimental platform to investigate how sensory neuron signals increase spinal neuronal activity. Methods: We developed a specialized microstructure ...

Expert reveals a surprising link between blocked sensory pathways and brain tumours. Learn how early detection can be crucial and what signs to look out for.

Developmental Implications Many of the mechanisms during neuron pathway finding are redundant and resilient. Thus, severe aberrations must occur for major developmental abnormalities to be ...

The sensory response to inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract has traditionally been studied in an acute setting following local application of several mucosal irritant substances such as ...
