A study in mice concluded that memory problems associated with age may be driven by our gut microbiome and that the vagus ...

A new study from Scripps Research reveals how a key touch-sensing protein detects mechanical forces with remarkable precision. Each time something lightly presses against your skin, specialized sensor ...

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that ...

Every time we feel a gentle tap on the skin, specialized nerve cells convert that physical force into an electrical signal ...

Researchers identified in mice a microbiome–gut–brain pathway in which age-associated changes in gut microbes increase medium-chain fatty acids that impair vagal sensory signaling and hippocampal ...

BrainXell today announced the launch of its human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived sensory neurons, a scalable human cellular platform engineered to support reproducible functional studies ...

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

When you get better at a skill-recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game-sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, ...

Comprehensive mapping of wing sensory neurons in Drosophila reveals that some proprioceptors make direct connections onto flight steering motor neurons, enabling rapid feedback control during flight.

Neurons placed inside engineered living bodies built from frog cells self-organize, become active, and reshape movement without evolutionary guidance.

Neuropathic pain is a devastating type of pain that significantly reduces the quality of life of affected people.
