Many of the mechanisms during neuron pathway finding are redundant and ... 2004 Slit Large secreted protein Midline repellant and sensory axon branching or elongation Robo receptor Dickson ...

The ability to regulate one's own food intake is essential to the survival of both humans and other animals. This innate ...

General principles of neuron pathway finding throughout the nervous system exist. Comprehension of these concepts guides neuroscience nurses in gaining an understanding of the developmental course ...

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 ...

Mackie and colleagues present a valuable comparison of lateralized gustation in two well-studied nematodes. The evidence they present that ASEL/R lateralization exists and is achieved by different ...

Better understanding these neuron-specific mechanisms could help ... neurons process gut-originating signals via distinct sensory pathways, collectively contributing to the regulation of feeding.

Neurotransmitters: Chemical substances that transmit signals across a synapse from one neuron ... Olfactory pathway: The neural pathway that processes smell, involving sensory neurons that detect ...
