I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely ...
Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...
New research has settled the debate between ‘kiss-and-run’ and ‘full-collapse’ fusion to explain how neurons transmit signals across synapses. Scientists from the University of Science and Technology ...
New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...
Sensory neurons that respond to temperature, touch and pain have ways of adapting to repeated stimuli that can change how a body experiences those sensations. In a recent paper published in the ...
Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...
A team of researchers shows how proteins called 'chaperones' are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When this neurotransmission breaks down, devastating diseases such ...
SNr neurons in the midbrain send precise signals to control movement. Their activity determines which movements actions are initiated or inhibited. Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate ...
Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

Our brain plays with our perceptions
The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a network of neural connections. But how are these signals adjusted to refine our perceptions? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified a brain-immune system pathway that could potentially ...
Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...
