Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

Transferring mitochondria, or the glial cells that produce them, to mice with nerve damage mitigated pain, suggesting a ...

Four tiny 3D organs connected themselves in a lab dish, forming a replica of the human pain pathway, in a new study. The discovery allows scientists to better understand chronic pain and how pain ...

New research shows that pain-sensing neurons in the gut can kick-start inflammatory immune responses that cause allergies and ...

The olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) system represents a paradigm of specialised gene regulation, wherein individual neurons select and maintain a singular olfactory receptor (OR) from a vast genomic ...

Biological fundamentals and recent progress of artificial sensory neurons are systematically reviewed. Basic device, performance metrics, and potential applications of artificial sensory neurons are ...

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the ...

Dendritic remodelling in Drosophila sensory neurons is a fundamental developmental process that refines neural circuitry by orchestrating the selective pruning and regrowth of dendritic branches. This ...
