Pain-sensing neurons in the gut kindle inflammatory immune responses that cause allergies and asthma, according to a new ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

Learn more about the “glue sniffer” protein, which is able to detect brain cells’ incoming chemical signals, and what that ...

In visual cortex, neural correlates of subjective perception can be generated by modulation of activity from beyond the classical receptive field (CRF). In macaque V1, activity generated by ...

Once thought to play a supporting function in the brain, new research shows non-neuronal astroglial cells perform a leading role in regulating the activity of neurons and their connections. In 2019, ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.

Imagine you're navigating a city like New York, or any other that's laid out on a grid. Suppose you run into a roadblock as you're heading north. How do you know that you can turn to your left, say, ...

Scientists found that the very neurons responsible for signaling satiety after a meal also trigger an overwhelming desire for ...

The brain is the body’s control center, with billions of neurons branching out in every direction to carry instructions to distant organs. These instructions tell muscles to contract, prompt the ...
