A new study published in Nature reveals how olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) achieve extraordinary precision in selecting ...

Unfortunately, you may be badly out of date. As it turns out, in human brains, we also have a specialized type of cell called a concept neuron, which does what was long thought to be impossible ...

“One tempting hypothesis that we had for a while,” noted Dr. Ray, “was that the AFD sensory neuron was responsible for somehow recruiting KCC-3 to the AMsh-AFD interface.” To test this, the team used ...

how they could be harnessed to enhance sensory neuron regeneration in neuropathy patients. More information: Madlyne Maniglier et al, Satellite glia of the adult dorsal root ganglia harbor stem ...

When sensory neuron communication was silenced, the sympathetic nervous system kicked into gear and began converting the white fat cells into brown fat. This mechanism steps up the body’s fat ...

To investigate that possibility, the researchers compared gene expression in five kinds of support cells in the ganglion, after injury to the peripheral and central branches of the sensory neuron.

the researchers speculate that high-volume foods that stretch the stomach activate one type of sensory neuron; these vagus nerve cells let the brain know that the stomach is full. "At a certain ...

Scientists have for the first time established a sensory neuron model able to mass-reproduce two key sensory neuron types involved in pain sensation, enabling the easy generation of large numbers ...

It is likely that improvement with treatment is limited by destruction of the cell body of the sensory neuron. However, immunotherapy occasionally halts disease progression, and some form of ...

More specifically, in vivo monitoring of neural activity in the mutant flies showed decreased sensory neuron activation in response to specific pheromonal cues, which then disrupted proper ...
