The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for ...

The group’s psychedelic sensory playgrounds of light, sound, stars, bubbles, birds and more are expanding around the globe, dazzling millions of visitors a year.

Of all the senses, the somatosensory system is the most complex, and therefore touch, some researchers argue, is the most difficult to study. Vision and hearing, for instance, are confined to the ...

Howard Hughes Medical Institute-led research has produced a complete connectome of the Drosophila visual system, enabling systematic investigations into how visual information is processed and relayed ...

Studying the neural response of a Drosophila larva to touch stimulation could decipher neural basis of the creature's danger-escaping behaviors. This letter reports force-controlled robotic mechanical ...

“Each segment of the spinal cord has some of the sensory neurons involved in controlling the body's sensation of touch, pain and other stimuli,” Jaworski said. “These neurons appear in repeated ...

SDS was used as negative ctrl, 10 μM of FdU for 24 h. The data of n = 3 differentiations, one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey's HSD. * p < 0.05; *** p < 0.001. (B) iSNs generated using our optimized ...

"The math-microscope made a dozen predictions, not just about entorhinal but many other brain regions too. To our complete surprise, the mathematical microscope worked every time," Mehta continued.

To address the specificity of the interactions between this glia and its neuron partners, the team took advantage of a previous discovery made by Dr. Singhvi during her postdoc: a membrane-bound ...

The gray AMsh glial cell engulfs several sensory neurons at the tip of nematode's nose. Here the villi at the end of temperature-sensing AFD neuron, which uses the KCC-3 potassium ion transporter to ...

The term "microscope" was coined by the German doctor to the pope Johannes Faber—who was known in Italy as Giovanni Faber—in 1625 to describe an instrument Galileo invented in 1609 (Wollman et ...

Although the neuron doctrine gained ground, it was not until the invention of the electron microscope that the issue was finally resolved for good in favour of the neuron doctrine (López-Muñoz ...
