Oct. 19, 2021 —Researchers have discovered that an FDA-approved drug acts on support cells in the central nervous system to encourage sensory neurons to regrow after ...
Mar. 23, 2022 —New research has discovered how the enteric nervous system -- or 'second brain' -- can communicate with both the brain and spinal cord, which up until now had remained a major mystery. The ...
Jan. 21, 2021 —Scientists have for the first time established a sensory neuron model able to mass-reproduce two key sensory neuron types involved in pain sensation, enabling the easy generation of large numbers of ...
Oct. 6, 2020 —Results show that diminished odor stimulation reduces the number of newly-generated neurons that express particular odorant receptors, indicating a selective alteration in the neurogenesis of these ...
July 13, 2023 —Study suggests modulating the activity of certain neurons could be an effective approach to restoring circuit ...
Sep. 20, 2022 —A research group has found that sensory neurons play an important role in human skin pigmentation and physiology. Specifically, the neurons secrete a protein known as Repulsive Guidance Molecule B ...
Dec. 8, 2020 —Injury or disease that afflicts a relatively small number of brain cells causes a chain reaction that stops activity across a vast network of neural circuits, according to new research. The study may ...
Jan. 21, 2021 —Electrical trigger sites in neurons surprisingly change with experience; they are either becoming smaller with increasing number of experiences and, vice versa, they grow larger when less input ...
Oct. 29, 2020 —A key step in the immune system's response to allergens has been uncovered. Researchers have shown that a neuropeptide called Substance P is released by certain neurons in the skin when they ...
Apr. 22, 2021 —Spinal cord nerve cells branching through the body resemble trees with limbs fanning out in every direction. But this image can also be used to tell the story of how these neurons, their jobs ...
