Neurons in biological systems rely on rhythmic burst firing for sensory encoding, pattern recognition, and network synchronization, functions that depend on oscillatory activity for signal ...

Next time you feel an itch, remember that your brain's vast network of neurons informs it whether it is an itch or pain. A ...

Specialized “thirst” and “hunger” neurons in the amygdala operate through distinct circuits, influencing the drive to eat or ...

Researchers have mapped the long-range synaptic connections involved in vocal learning in zebra finches, uncovering new ...

New research uncovers how the brain processes learning by identifying the exact moment an animal learns a new skill.

Neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex process different types of sensory information and exhibit distinct activity patterns, yet the cause of these differences has remained unclear.

"The brain continuously receives and integrates sensory inputs, and neurons do not act in isolation—they are part of complex, recurrent networks. One particularly intriguing feature of these ...

The team discovered that the fruit fly equivalent of human CDKL genes, named Cdkl, is expressed in peripheral sensory neurons, those that perceive sensations like heat, sound and touch, and these ...

The Food and Drug Administration has granted Fast Track designation to LTG-001 for the treatment of acute pain.

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 ...
