Sensory systems are composed of receptors that sense the sensory stimuli, brain areas involved in sensory perception and neural pathways that connect them. The microanatomy of the axonal ...

When this receptor is overactivated, external sensory input is suppressed, and the brain generates more internally-driven ...

Interoception research reveals how gut-brain communication via neural, hormonal, and microbial pathways regulates metabolism, ...

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