Tumours boost their own growth by attracting and then commandeering nearby sensory neurons, a study finds. By ‘plugging into’ ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

New research has settled the debate between ‘kiss-and-run’ and ‘full-collapse’ fusion to explain how neurons transmit signals across synapses. Scientists from the University of Science and Technology ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

A team of researchers shows how proteins called 'chaperones' are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When this neurotransmission breaks down, devastating diseases such ...

Sensory neurons that respond to temperature, touch and pain have ways of adapting to repeated stimuli that can change how a body experiences those sensations. In a recent paper published in the ...

A breakthrough study published today in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified a brain-immune system pathway that could potentially ...

Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...
