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

Neurons are responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body, a process that allows people to navigate the world. Different types of neurons include sensory, motor, and interneurons, as well ...

2015). Neuromodulators can act on multiple levels: directly on the CPG circuit or indirectly modulating the circuit by acting on descending modulatory projection neurons (Marder and Bucher, 2006).

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

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 ...

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 ...

Inspired by pyramidal cells in the cerebral cortex, these neurons process local signals to adapt and specialize in tasks without external control. Each infomorphic neuron determines whether to ...

Your brain is a natural pattern-finding device. At every moment, it's scouring the visual world, attempting to locate order, ...
