Pain-sensing gut neurons don’t just detect discomfort — they help launch allergic immune reactions, according to a new study from Weill Cornell Medicine. Researchers found these neurons can kick-start ...

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the ...

Pain-sensing neurons in the gut kindle inflammatory immune responses that cause allergies and asthma, according to a new ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

In visual cortex, neural correlates of subjective perception can be generated by modulation of activity from beyond the classical receptive field (CRF). In macaque V1, activity generated by ...

Once thought to play a supporting function in the brain, new research shows non-neuronal astroglial cells perform a leading role in regulating the activity of neurons and their connections. In 2019, ...

The brain is the body’s control center, with billions of neurons branching out in every direction to carry instructions to distant organs. These instructions tell muscles to contract, prompt the ...

Imagine you're navigating a city like New York, or any other that's laid out on a grid. Suppose you run into a roadblock as you're heading north. How do you know that you can turn to your left, say, ...
