A neuroanatomical minimal network model was revisited to elucidate the mechanism of salt concentration memory-dependent chemotaxis observed in Caenorhabditis elegans. C. elegans memorizes the salt ...

Northwestern researchers have made notable scientific advancements in the past week. The Daily compiled a recap of their ...

The three neuron types (sensory, motor, interneuron) are separated into two categories based on whether or not they are protected by myelin: Myelinated neurons transmit electrical signals more ...

Receptor in the skin detects a stimulus (the change in temperature). Sensory neuron sends electrical impulses to a relay neuron, which is located in the spinal cord of the CNS. Relay neurons ...

New research explores the many ways our sensory experiences overlaps, teaching us new ways the brain perceives ...

Confocal micrograph of a peripheral sensory neuron in culture. Marker stains and antibodies are used to identify neurons (red), c-Fos protein (green) and nuclei (blue). Note the nuclear ...

New research revealed that the reason behind brain aging is not loss of function or decline but excessive neuron ...

The team next tracked sensory neurons to visualize their participation in tissue healing in mice. They observed that after injury, neuron endings grew in clusters around the damaged tissue, helping to ...
