A new study by UT Health San Antonio and Stanford University scientists brings us closer to understanding how the body detects different sensations such as pain, itch and touch. When a person feels ...

Researchers mapped the proteome of individual sensory neurons and identified B3GNT2 as a key enzyme driving pain ...

Biological fundamentals and recent progress of artificial sensory neurons are systematically reviewed. Basic device, performance metrics, and potential applications of artificial sensory neurons are ...

Understanding how the brain coordinates neurons during learning could provide new insights into learning disorders and conditions that affect perception. It could also help scientists design ...

The molecular signature of key sensory neurons that signal neuropathic pain has been uncovered, revealing a potential pathway for relieving chronic pain. “We know from direct human physiological ...

Researchers at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Hyderabad have identified a mammalian protein, Cnpy1 (Canopy1), that is essential for the survival and function of vomeronasal sensory ...

Brain cells are increasingly being found outside the brain, and now researchers have identified specific neurons in the abdomen that control some aspects of digestion. Not all brain cells are found in ...

Olfactory fear conditioning biases olfactory stem cell receptor fate, increasing the frequency by which maturing neurons express the receptor of the paired odor and changing the representation of the ...

Researchers suggest tunneling may reflect a conserved strategy adopted by specialized migratory cell types in dense tissues.
