The olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) system represents a paradigm of specialised gene regulation, wherein individual neurons select and maintain a singular olfactory receptor (OR) from a vast genomic ...

Following an injury, such as a traumatic crush injury, the peripheral nervous system is itself often able to effectively regenerate. This capacity of regeneration is mainly attributable to the Schwann ...

Transferring mitochondria, or the glial cells that produce them, to mice with nerve damage mitigated pain, suggesting a ...

A new MIT study finds that somatostatin-expressing neurons follow a unique trajectory when forming connections in the brain’s ...

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

ヒトなどのさまざまな動物で、同一の匂い物質が、その濃度によって誘引性あるいは忌避性の応答を引き起こすことがある。しかし、この行動の神経基盤についてはほとんどわかっていない。本論文では、低濃度では線虫（Caenorhabditis elegans）の誘引行動を ...

Neurons inside teeth not only sense pain, but they may help protect them from sustaining further damage by triggering a jaw-opening reflex, according to new research from the University of Michigan (U ...

Researchers found that excessively activated neurons over time, rather than decreased neuronal activity, cause aging-related decline in brain function in nematodes. A study of nematodes by researchers ...
