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 ...

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 ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A breakthrough study published today in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of ...

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 ...
