For example, sensory cells in the skin respond to ... a sequence of molecular switches to internal signaling pathways. Membrane receptors fall into three major classes: G-protein-coupled receptors ...

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

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

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 ...

"This means that when the proteins are released, they are carried to the trigeminal ganglion via the said signaling pathways, where they bind to a receptor of a pain-signaling sensory nerve ...

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 ...

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 ...
