Scientists discovered years ago that the hypothalamus—which helps to manage body temperature, hunger, sex drive, sleep and ...

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 study presents solid evidence for distinct neurotransmitter release modalities between two subclasses of dopaminergic neurons in the olfactory bulb, highlighting an important finding that ...

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 ...

Three people with a muscle-destroying disease destined to worsen got a little stronger when an implanted device zapped their ...

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 ...
