Discover how brain organoids are helping us uncover whether early thought patterns emerge from experience or are hardwired ...

In A Nutshell Lab-grown human brain cells spontaneously organize into precise firing sequences without any sensory experience ...

Humans have long wondered when and how we begin to form thoughts. Are we born with a pre-configured brain, or do thought ...

New research using human brain organoids shows that early neural activity follows structured, time-based patterns long before sensory experience begins.

An incredible new study led by a team from the Scripps Research Institute has discovered a novel communication pathway between fat cells and the brain. The findings reveal that the brain doesn’t ...

A research group has found that sensory neurons play an important role in human skin pigmentation and physiology. Specifically, the neurons secrete a protein known as Repulsive Guidance Molecule B ...

NYU Langone researchers identified the connections between neurons that store sensory details and keep memories stable, ...

Various environmental stimuli, such as touch, heat, and pain, trigger nerve cells known as sensory neurons. They are commonly used in microfluidic devices for cosmetic testing, pain models, and ...

Researchers have discovered that an FDA-approved drug acts on support cells in the central nervous system to encourage sensory neurons to regrow after injury. A spinal cord injury damages the lines of ...

LA JOLLA, CA—Gastrointestinal and digestive issues impact roughly 3 million people across the United States alone, and that number is growing. A new study from Scripps Research scientists shows how ...

Fenofibrate, an FDA-approved drug used to reduce cholesterol levels, causes sensory neurons in the spine following spinal cord injury to regrow twice as fast as with a placebo treatment. The results ...
