How do we feel wetness, slipperiness or elasticity? “Think about squeezing a balloon,” he said. “Presumably no one sensory neuron type is going to encode squeeziness.” His work has transformed our ...

Researchers have gained comprehensive insights into the entire nervous system of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster). The study describes in detail the neurons that span the entire nervous system ...

The researchers found that over a range of visual targets, a single neuron may be more responsive ... changing their specificities with varying sensory experience. Observation of cortical activity ...

New research reveals that neurons in the visual cortex are far more adaptable than previously thought, responding dynamically to complex stimuli during object recognition tasks.

The cells are linked to one another through chemicals called neurotransmitters that move across the synapses to the next neuron. Dopamine and serotonin are types of neurotransmitters. This process ...

Understanding the neural substrates underlying the execution of how behavioral commands are generated in the nervous system, spanning from the sensory neuron input to motor neuron output, constitutes ...

Pain is an example of an important sensory neuron. When you feel pain from a hot pan or a sharp pin, you are sending sensory information via sensory neurons up to the brain. The flow of electrical ...

can be co-expressed in the same chemosensory neuron. Moreover, optogenetics and single sensillum recordings provide evidence that IR25a co-receptor might modulate the activity of typical ...
