Researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a large ...

Researchers at Brown University and Cincinnati Children’s found that suppressing opsin 3 in the brain of mice makes them eat ...

The SYNGAP1 gene, which supports the production of a protein called SynGAP (Synaptic Ras GTPase-Activating Protein), is known ...

This important study shows that the activity of hypothalamic hypocretin/orexin neurons (HONs) correlates with body movement over multiple behaviors. Sophisticated techniques and analyses showcase this ...

An intervention, which involves electrical stimulation of the sensory spinal nerves, can gradually reawaken functionally ...

Artificially engineered biological processes, such as perception systems, remain an elusive target for organic electronics experts due to the reliance of human senses on an adaptive network of sensory ...

Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or they affect the ability to see, taste, and feel through the senses. In order to instantly facilitate these bodily ...

The axons of the neurons in these clusters are called sensory afferents ... in the labs of Vignjevic and Tae-Hee Kim generated 3D miniature guts, called organoids, on Petri dishes.

The researchers were able to activate the population of neurons through a process known as chemogenetic excitation. Utilizing animal models to manipulate oxytocin signaling in the vagal sensory ...

This important study offers insights into the function and connectivity patterns of a relatively unknown afferent input from the endopiriform to the CA1 subfield of the ventral hippocampus, suggesting ...
