In somatic sensory neurons ... neurotrophins and GFLs activate common intracellular signalling pathways through their receptor tyrosine kinases, several clear differences exist between these ...

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 ...

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

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

Sensory hair cells are the mechanosensory receptors of the auditory and vestibular systems in all vertebrates and ... factors that cause hair cell loss and finding agents that protect them from damage ...

Bats adapt to hearing loss using innate brain circuits, residual hearing, and other sensory pathways. They adjust ...

Memory recall Scents are powerful triggers for memory, capable of resurfacing vivid recollections from the past. This ...

Here, we demonstrate that Drosophila malignant epithelial tumors show a similar reduction in ecdysone signaling, the main steroid hormone pathway. Our analysis of ecdysone-induced downstream targets ...

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

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 ...

Eating spicy food can spark a variety of reactions: a euphoric buzz, a racing heart, a tingling tongue, gastrointestinal ...

Researchers from the lab of Richard Simerly have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of ...
