Neuroscientists at Stanford University have grown a tiny, two-centimeter-long ‘sausage’ made of human cells that may hold ...

In a process known as neurulation ... (2,3) to give rise to neurons in dorsal root sensory ganglia and glia (2), or glia, autonomic neurons and chromaffin cells (3). Neural crest cells in the ...

Sensory neurons in culture. These cells convey the sense of touch and pain via thin delicate projections called axons, which often degenerate in disease. The new study by Zhang et al reveals a new ...

This valuable study combines real-time keypoint tracking with transdermal activation of sensory neurons to investigate sensory neuron recruitment in freely moving mice, and builds on the authors' ...

Mapping the pathways these neurons use to communicate with other brain regions revealed connections to areas involved in processing sensory information about food and water, such as the parabrachial ...

Several transcription factors in developing neurons exhibit broad-to-restricted expression patterns, but the relevance of ...

ranging from basic sensory processing to higher-order cognition. However, a comprehensive understanding of how a limited number of neurons within the ACC execute such diverse functions has been ...

The researchers were also able to show that many neurons in the amygdala process information about the probability and magnitude of rewards one after the other. These cells first react to the ...

Both signals travel from the spinal cord to the brain via the thalamus, eventually reaching the ACC, a region involved in sensory processing and cognition. However, how the ACC differentiates these ...

Four tiny 3D organs connected themselves in a lab dish, forming a replica of the human pain pathway, in a new study. The discovery allows scientists to better understand chronic pain and how pain ...
