Every soft caress of wind, searing burn and seismic rumble is detected by our skin’s tangle of touch sensors. David Ginty has ...

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' ...

Pain is an example of an important sensory neuron. When you feel pain from a hot pan or a sharp pin, you are sending sensory information via sensory neurons up to the brain. The flow of electrical ...

One sensory neuron, which seems important in distinguishing between different kinds of social touch, quickly adapts in this way. It is connected to hair follicles in the skin and is called a hair ...

and the size of primary sensory neuron somas. Larger-bodied species with larger primary sensory neurons exhibited a higher abundance of microglia, while smaller animals tended to have fewer or none.

A new study reveals how inflammation alters sensory neuron activity, heightening heat sensitivity and contributing to chronic ...

This work expands our understanding of sensory neuron versatility supporting adaptive behavior in animals ... Once cured, the PDMS layer was carefully lifted away from the silicon wafer, and a 2 mm ...
