Expression of the alpha2delta1 receptor in sensory neurons increased as they over-secreted a neuropeptide called CGRP, all ...

New research has shown that some neurons that do not express leptin receptors are still sensitive to its activity.

Researchers discovered that cannabis affects brain development by interacting with CB1 receptors on astrocytes, not just neurons.

It's a regular occurrence when taking our canine pals for drizzly walks and summer swims. But until recently, the biology ...

Researchers from the lab of Richard Simerly have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. The work also suggests a novel role for the hunger ...

Experts agree that problems with synapses—the connections that allow communication between neurons—might be a ... a solution to this problem. As AMPA receptors are one of the most important ...

Now it is known that they contain primary cilia, although only in sensory neurons. If primary cilia can act as one type of receptor, can they also act as other types? Yes, they absolutely can.

Sensory neurones carry electrical signals - nerve impulses - towards the central nervous system (spinal cord and brain). The signal starts in a receptor ... The neurone ends in either a muscle ...

This is why the response is so fast. Receptor in the skin detects a stimulus (the change in temperature). Sensory neuron sends electrical impulses to a relay neuron, which is located in the spinal ...

Sensory systems are composed of receptors that sense the sensory stimuli ... The microanatomy of the axonal projections of olfactory sensory neurons from the olfactory epithelium to the olfactory ...
